Download or read book Energetic Materials written by Ulrich Teipel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporation of particular components with specialized properties allows one to tailor the end product's properties. For instance, the sensitivity, burning behavior, thermal or mechanical properties or stability of energetic materials can be affected and even controllably varied through incorporation of such ingredients. This book examines particle technologies as applied to energetic materials such as propellants and explosives, thus filling a void in the literature on this subject. Following an introduction covering general features of energetic materials, the first section of this book describes methods of manufacturing particulate energetic materials, including size reduction, crystallization, atomization, particle formation using supercritical fluids and microencapsulation, agglomeration phenomena, special considerations in mixing explosive particles and the production of nanoparticles. The second section discusses the characterization of particulate materials. Techniques and methods such as particle size analysis, morphology elucidation and the determination of chemical and thermal properties are presented. The wettability of powders and rheological behavior of suspensions and solids are also considered. Furthermore, methods of determining the performance of particular energetic materials are described. Each chapter deals with fundamentals and application possibilities of the various methods presented, with particular emphasis on issues applicable to particulate energetic materials. The book is thus equally relevant for chemists, physicists, material scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers and anyone interested or engaged in particle processing and characterization technologies.

Book An Investigation of the Effects of Acceleration and Strand Length on Post Fire Residue of Aluminized Propellants

Download or read book An Investigation of the Effects of Acceleration and Strand Length on Post Fire Residue of Aluminized Propellants written by David Eugene Cowles and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aluminized propellant strand lengths from one-quarter to two inches were burned at accelerations from zero to 1000g at a mean combustion pressure of 500 psia to study the effect of acceleration and strand length on burning rate augmentation. Propellant ammonium perchlorate oxidizer size and base burning rate were varied to investigate their effects. Each post-fire residue was photographically recorded and chemical analysis was performed by X-Ray powder diffraction. Burning rate augmentation decreased and residue weight increased when the strand length was increased. Aluminum and aluminum oxide were identified at low accelerations independent of strand length; aluminum oxide was not detectable at high accelerations. Ammonium perchlorate size and base burning rate had little effect on the functional dependence of residue weight on burn time. The Crowe, et al., model was found to indicate the correct augmentation trend as a function of burn time if the time-history of the metallic agglomerates is known. (Author).

Book Effects of Normal Acceleration on Transient Burning rate Augmentation of an Aluminized Solid Propellant

Download or read book Effects of Normal Acceleration on Transient Burning rate Augmentation of an Aluminized Solid Propellant written by G. Burton Northam and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instantaneous burning rate data for a polybutadiene acrylic acid propellant, containing 16 weight percent aluminum, were calculated from the pressure histories of a test motor with 96.77 sq cm of burning area and a 5.08-cm-thick propellant web. Additional acceleration tests were conducted with reduced propellant web thicknesses of 3.81, 2.54, and 1.27 cm. The metallic residue collected from the various web thickness tests was characterized by weight and shape and correlated with the instantaneous burning rate measurements. Rapid depressurization extinction tests were conducted in order that surface pitting characteristics due to localized increased burning rate could be correlated with the residue analysis and the instantaneous burning rate data. The acceleration-induced burning rate augmentation was strongly dependent on propellant distance burned, or burning time, and thus was transient in nature. The results from the extinction tests and the residue analyses indicate that the transient rate augmentation was highly dependent on local enhancement of the combustion zone heat feedback to the surface by the growth of molten residue particles on or just above the burning surface. The size, shape, and number density of molten residue particles, rather than the total residue weight, determined the acceleration-induced burning rate augmentation.

Book Evaluation of Magnesium aluminum Eutectic to Improve Combustion Efficiency in Low Burning rate Propellants

Download or read book Evaluation of Magnesium aluminum Eutectic to Improve Combustion Efficiency in Low Burning rate Propellants written by G. Burton Northam and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A previous investigation indicated that combustion efficiency of low burning-rate propellants could be improved if the aluminum fuel was replaced by aluminum particles coated with a magnesium-aluminum eutectic alloy (ALCAL). The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the possibility of improving the combustion efficiency of these propellants by admixing the eutectic with the aluminum rather than coating the aluminum. Tests of three propellants similar in every respect except for the metal fuel were conducted in test motors with 4.54 kg (10 lbm) of propellant. The first propellant used aluminum fuel; the second contained aluminum admixed with magnesium-aluminum eutectic; the third used ALCAL. The test results show the the admixed fuel gave better low burning-rate combustion efficiency than the other two. The test results also showed that the ALCAL was deficient in that much, if not all, of the coating material could be found as the fine particles in a bimodal mix of aluminum and eutectic. The combustion efficiency of low burning-rate aluminized propellants can be significantly improved by mixing a small amount of magnesium-aluminum alloy with the aluminum fuel.
