DEPRESSURIZATlON lNDUCED EXTINCTION OF BURNING SOLID PROPELLANT

Research on the Deflagration of High-Energy Solid Oxidizers

“…Several theories of extinguishment have been presented (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), and in this report we shall not review these theories, but only note that there is substantial agreement among those (1,5,6) that yield dimensional transient burning rate expressions. The discussion is limited to a comparison of the experimental results with the predictions of theory 6.…”
