Abstract

Basically, in order to apply solid propellant as ignition source to high energy metal particle combustion system, we analyzed combustion characteristics of the HTPB/AP/Al, HTPE/AP/Al propellants by using a strand burner. The propellants were tested in a high-pressure windowed strand burner, which was pressurized up to 300 psia with pure argon gas. Strand burner was visualized with two quartz windows and ignition was accomplished by a 10 W $CO_2$ laser. The burning rate of propellant was measured with high-speed camera method for frame analysis and photodiode method for combustion time analysis. Emission spectrum was measured with spectrometer at 300 nm ~ 800 nm and 1500 nm ~ 5000 nm and then we analyzed species during propellant combustion.

추진제를 고에너지 금속 분말 연소시스템에 점화원으로 적용을 위한 기초 연구로서 strand burner를 이용하여 HTPB/AP/Al, HTPE/AP/Al 추진제의 연소특성을 고찰하였다. 실험은 아르곤을 사용하여 ~300 psia 까지 가압하였으며, 2개의 석영창을 이용하여 가시화하였다. 추진제 점화를 위해서 10 W의 $CO_2$ 레이저를 사용하였으며, 연소 속도 측정은 초고속 카메라를 활용한 프레임 분석 기법 및 광다이오드를 이용한 연소시간 분석 기법을 적용하였다. 스펙트로메터를 이용하여 300 nm ~ 800 nm, 1500 nm ~ 5000 nm 의 방출 스펙트럼을 분석하여 추진제 연소반응 시 발생하는 화학종을 확인하였다.
