Results of a thermodynamic calculation of the energy characteristics for mixed compositions containing aluminum powder are presented. The influence of the aluminum content in the mixed compositions on the adiabatic combustion temperature, specific impulse, and composition of the combustion products is considered. Results of an experimental study of combustion of metallized mixed compositions in the pressure range from 0.1 to 6 MPa are presented. The effect of the aluminum powder dispersity and the relative content of the components of the mixed composition on the pressure dependence of the burning rate is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
