Combustion studies on solid Rocket Propellants Phenol Formaldehyde composite Systems

Abstract

This thesis deals with the propellant chemistry has made an unprecedented progress in the last two decades The important topics in composite propellant research are steady state burning unstable burning ignition thermo chenistry and chemical kinetics of the reactions occuring in both the solid and the gaseous states The primary object of this thesis is to study the newlineconbustion of composite solid propellants containing a variety of oxidisers such as NH4 KCIO4 NaNO3 and KNO3 but a newlinecommon fuel binder ie phenol formaldehyde polymer newline
