Thermal decomposition behaviors and burning characteristics of ammonium nitrate/polytetrahydrofuran/glycerin composite propellant

Thermal Decomposition Behaviors and Burning Characteristics of AN/RDX-Based Composite Propellants Supplemented with MnO2and Fe2O3

“…The effect of the addition of a burning catalyst to improve the burning characteristics of AN-based propellants has been investigated [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Oommen and Jain reported that transition metal oxides exhibit a catalytic effect in improving the burning characteristics of AN-based propellants [1] and, more recently, the addition of MnO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 was found to be effective at increasing the burning rate and improving the ignitability at a low AN-based propellant pressure [9,11].…”

Synthesis and characterization of novel spinel Zn 1.114 La 1.264 Al 0.5 O 4.271 nanoparticles

“…Also, nanocrystalline ceria-based powders including CeO 2 , (YO 1.5 ) 0.2 (CeO 2 ) 1.8 , (NdO 1.5 ) 0.2 (CeO 2 ) 1.8 , (SmO 1.5 ) 0.2 (CeO 2 ) 1.8 and (GdO 1.5 ) 0.2 (CeO 2 ) 1. 8 have been prepared using combustion synthesis with ethylene glycol as a fuel and nitrate as an oxidizer [25]. Because of the importance of the fuel role in the combustion synthesis, the decomposition behaviors and burning characteristics of ammonium nitrate/polytetrahydrofuran/glycerin composite propellant were investigated [25].…”

Crystal structure, thermal decomposition, mechanical sensitivity of Na[CL-14·2H2O] and its catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate

“…Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH 4 [N(NO 2 ) 2 ] is currently the most promising of all green propellants because it is high energy and pollution-free compared with a common hydrazine propellants. Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH 4 [N(NO 2 ) 2 ] is currently the most promising of all green propellants because it is high energy and pollution-free compared with a common hydrazine propellants.…”

“…Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH 4 [N(NO 2 ) 2 ] is currently the most promising of all green propellants because it is high energy and pollution-free compared with a common hydrazine propellants. AN now is receiving a reinvigorated interest as a possible partial substitute for ammonium perchlorate (AP) in solid propellants [2][3][4][5][6]. Ammonium nitrate (AN) is widely used as fertilizer, industrial explosive ingredients and oxidants in solid propellants because it is relatively cheap, releases almost 100% gaseous products when it decomposes, and has a positive oxygen balance.…”
