Performance Prediction of Aluminized High Energy Propellant

알루미늄을 이용한 고에너지 추진제의 성능 예측

To compare the performance of aluminized solid propellants, the theoretical calculation was performed for the propellants using HTPB and PEG binder and four kinds of oxidizers such as AP, HMX, ADN, and HNIW. PEG/HMX/Al and PEG/HNIW/Al showed the maximum performance at 17% of aluminum level and there was no difference in maximum performance when HMX was partially replaced with AP in PEG/HMX/AP/Al propellant. The order of performance magnitude of various propellants which the specific impulse loss calculation was considered by semi-empirical equation was like the following; PEG/HNIW/AI>[$\frac{PEG/HMX/AI}{PEG/HMX/AP/AI}$>HTPB/AP/AI>PEG/ADN/AI
