“…For example, perovskite-type LaFeO 3 and related compounds are capable of catalyzing the reaction between CO and NO x in the auto emission [6,7]. Note that CO and NO x are also two major products of HMX thermal decomposition [8]. It has been put forward that, if the reaction can be catalyzed between CO and NO x on the burning surface of NEPE propellant, the pressure index will be reduced [2].…”

“…The thickness of the foam layer and the gas-phase reaction zone vary with pressure. At 1 atm, the foam layer is $70 and $130 mm for HMX and RDX, respectively, and the gas phase reaches equilibrium within $4 and $1 mm from the burning surface [12,13]. At higher pressures (70-100 atm), the foam layer is less than 20 mm thick, and the equilibrium temperature is reached within $100-200 mm from the surface for nitramine monopropellants.…”

“…Liquid or solid state combustion and detonation processes have been the subject of considerable experimental (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) and theoretical (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) efforts. Yet, experimental methods for obtaining a detailed characterization of reaction intermediates and products in the condensed phase are limited and much less precise than in for instance the gas phase.…”

PLEASE DO NOT PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES) 8. PERFORMING ORGANIZATION Department of Chemistry REPORT NUMBERUniversity of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3290 SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)AFOSR ABSTRACTThe research involves the production of high energy material particles with diameters between 1 and 5 om and the study of its subsequent combustion by rapid laser heating or photolysis. Alternatively, the high-energy ionic liquids with no vapor pressure are placed on a plate inside the vacuum and irradiated with high intensity IR radiation. In either case, the reaction products are followed by single photon vacuum UV laser ionization in a time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The purpose is the elucidation of reaction mechanisms in high density or condensed phases and the development of more efficient methods of combustion. The experimental set-up includes aerosol generation tools that inject the particles at atmospheric pressure into an aerodynamic lens, which focuses the particles onto the center of a 3 mm expansion nozzle, whereupon the particles are accelerated to velocities of 200 to 300 m/s depending upon their size.
