The effect of the different mixture in a high volumetric concentration of oxidizer-(AP), with least percentage of binder-(HTPB+TDI), for improving the propellant burn rate was investigated. The combustion experiment is performed using a window bomb setup and the high-speed camera is utilized to capture the flame images. An image processing approach is used to measure the burn rate and intrinsic instability of flame by discrete wavelet transform method. Region growing algorithm technique is used for image segmentation. The morphological operation is implemented with Euclidean distance measurement for the identification of flame height in configuring with dependent parameters (burning rate, diffusion flame height). The qualitative analysis (signal characterization) and quantitative analysis (mean, kurtosis, skewness, standard deviation, and frequency) were used to study the intrinsic instability characteristics of the flame diffusion. A result obtained from the analysis proves that the instability in fuel combustion occurs at higher mix and pressure level.
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.
