纳米镍粉对Al-CMDB和CL-20-CMDB推进剂燃烧性能的影响

为了研究粒径为50nm的纳米镍粉(nano-Ni)对含Al改性双基(Al-CMDB)推进剂、含六硝基六氮杂异伍兹烷(CL-20)改性双基(CL-20-CMDB)推进剂燃烧性能的影响,通过吸收-压延的方法制备了推进剂样品,用靶线法测试了推进剂的燃速,并计算了压强指数。通过电镜扫描、火焰照片、燃烧波、熄火表面形貌及元素分析和DSC分析了纳米镍粉对Al-CMDB推进剂燃烧性能影响的原因。结果表明,在Al-CMDB推进剂中加入nano-Ni可大幅度提高推进剂燃速,降低推进剂的压强指数;当加入质量分数0.7%的nano-Ni时推进剂10MPa的燃速达到35.59mm/s,8~20MPa压强指数从0.43降低至0.17,15~20MPa出现麦撒效应。在CL-20-CMDB推进剂中加入质量分数0.5%的nano-Ni能明显提高推进剂的中低压(4~10MPa)燃速,8~20MPa压强指数约为0.01,15~20MPa出现麦撒效应。     

An Advanced GAP/AN/TAGN Propellant. Part I: Ballistic Properties

A solid rocket propellant based on glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) binder plasticized with nitrate esters and oxidized with a mixture of ammonium nitrate (AN) and triaminoguanidine nitrate (TAGN) was formulated and characterized. Non‐lead ballistic modifiers were also included in order to obtain a propellant with non‐acidic and non‐toxic exhaust. This propellant was found to exhibit a burning rate approximately twice that of standard GAP/AN propellants. The exponent of the propellant is high compared to commonly used composite propellants but is still in the useable range at pressures below 13.8 MPa. This propellant may present a good compromise for applications requiring intermediate burn rate and impulse combined with low‐smoke and non‐toxic exhaust.

Ballistic Modification of Nitramine Propellants with Special Reference to NG‐PE‐PCP‐Based High Energy Propellants

The burning rate pressure relationship is one of the important criteria in the selection of the propellant for particular applications. The pressure exponent (η) plays a significant role in the internal ballistics of rocket motors. Nitramines are known to produce lower burning rates and higher pressure exponent (η) values. Studies on the burning rate and combustion behavior of advanced high‐energy NG/PE‐PCP/AP/Al‐ and NG/PE‐PCP/HMX/AP/Al‐based solid rocket propellants processed by a conventional slurry cast route were carried out. The objective of present study was to understand the effectiveness of various ballistic modifiers viz. iron oxide, copper chromite, lead/copper oxides, and lead salts in combination with carbon black as a catalyst on the burning rate and pressure exponent of these high‐energy propellants. A 7–9 % increase in the burning rates and almost no effect in pressure exponent values of propellant compositions without nitramine were observed. However, in case of nitramine‐based propellants as compared to propellant compositions without nitramines, slight increases of the burning rates were observed. By incorporation of ballistic modifiers, the pressure exponents can be lowered. The changes in the calorimetric values of the formulations by addition of the catalysts were also studied.     

Combustion Characteristics of a Novel Grain‐Binding High Burning Rate Propellant

The novel grain‐binding high burning rate propellant (NGHP) is prepared via a solventless extrusion process of binder and spherical propellant grains. Compared with the traditional grain‐binding porous propellants, NGHP is compact and has no interior micropores. During the combustion of NGHP, there appear honeycomb‐like burning layers, which increase the burning surface and the burning rate of the propellant. The combustion of NGHP is a limited convective combustion process and apt to achieve stable state. The larger the difference between the burning rate of the binder and that of the spherical granular propellants exists, the higher burning rate NGHP has. The smaller the mass ratio of the binder to the spherical granular propellants is, the higher the burning rate of NGHP is. It shows that the addition of 3 wt.‐% composite catalyst (the mixture of lead/copper complex and copper/chrome oxides at a mass ratio of 1 : 1) into NGHP can enhance the burning rate from 48.78 mm⋅s⁻¹ in the absence of catalyst to 56.66 mm⋅s⁻¹ at P=9.81 MPa and decrease the pressure exponent from 0.686 to 0.576 in the pressure range from 9.81 to 19.62 MPa.

Burning Rate Augmentation of BAMO Based Propellants

Thermal decomposition and the burning properties of BAMO based propellants with HMX or AN/HMX have been investigated. The heat generated by the azide binder decomposition initiated and accelerated the thermal decomposition of HMX and AN. Ammonium perchlorate (AP) and lead stearate with carbon black significantly altered the mechanisms of the thermal decomposition and the burning properties of the HMX based propellants. AP showed an increase in burning rate with a slight decrease in burning rate pressure exponent. The lead catalyst yielded high value of the burning rate with the lowest pressure exponent. The ammonium dichromate also influenced the mechanisms of the thermal decomposition and the burning properties of the AN/HMX samples. The combination of ammonium dichromate and copper chromite was the most effective on the burning rate augmentation of AN/HMX based propellants. AN sublimed and evaporated from the condensed phase and mainly reacted exothermically in the gas phase HMX and AN/HMX based propellants showed smokeless burning characteristics in the small rocket motor combustion tests.     

Burning Behaviour of ADN Formulations

The application of ADN for an effective oxidizer of propellants and explosives requires a detailed knowledge of the burning behaviour. The physical and chemical mechanisms of the combustion depend on pressure. Especially profiles of temperature and species in the flame are important to design propellant formulation of high performance and low signature of the rocket plume. In the presented study, pure ADN and ADN/paraffin mixtures were investigated as strands in an optical bomb at pressures of 0.5 MPa to 10 MPa. The application of non-intrusive combustion diagnostics for the investigation of fast burning energetic materials allowed the measurement of burning rates and profiles of temperature and gas components at various distances above the burning propellant surface. The burning rate was determined by using a video system and a special frame analysis. The acquisition and analysis of emission spectra in the UV/VIS allowed the investigation of rotational temperatures, the determination of particle temperatures and the identification of transient flame radicals. The vibrational temperatures of final combustion products resulted from band spectra emitted in the near and mid infrared spectral range. Burning rates of 5 mm/s to 70 mm/s were recorded showing a mesa/plateau-effect in the pressure range of 4 MPa to 7 MPa. The UV/VIS spectra indicated an emission from OH, NH and CN radicals. The strong emission of OH bands of the ADN/paraffin mixture allowed the investigation of rotational temperatures with a mean value of 2700 K which is closely below the adiabatic flame temperature of 2950 K. Additionally, one-dimensional intensity profiles of the flame radicals were measured. As combustion end products H₂O, CO, CO₂ and NO were found. NO could only be detected at a distance up to 2 mm above the propellant surface. The measured CO/CO₂ fraction was higher as 10/1. Water could only be detected far above the propellant surface.     

Rocket Propellants with Reduced Smoke and High Burning Rates

Rocket propellants with reduced smoke and high burning rates recommend themselves for use in a rocket motor for high accelerating tactical missiles. They serve for an improved camouflage on the battle field and may enable guidance control due to the higher transmission of their rocket plume compared to traditional aluminized composite propellants. In this contribution the material based ranges of performance and properties of three non aluminized rocket propellants will be introduced and compared to each other. The selected formulations based on AP/HTPB; AP/PU/TMETN and AP/HMX/GAP/TMETN have roughly the same specific impulse of I_SP = 2430 Ns/kg at 70:1 expansion ratio. The burning rates in the pressure range from 10–18 MPa vary from to 26–33 mm/s for the AP/HTPB propellant, 52–68 mm/s for the formulation based on AP/PU/TMETN and 28–39 mm/s for the propellant based on AP/HMX/GAP. With 58% and 20% AP-contents the propellants with nitrate ester plasticizers create a much smaller secondary signature than the AP/HTPB representative containing 86% AP. Their disadvantage, however, is the connection of high performance to a high level of energetic plasticizer. For this reason, the very fast burning propellant based on AP/PU/TMETN is endowed with a low elastic modulus and is limited to a grain configuration which isn't exposed too much to the fast and turbulent airstream. The mechanical properties of the AP/HMX/GAP-propellant are as good or better as those of the AP/HTPB propellant. The first one exhibits the same performance and burn rates as the composite representative but produces only one fifth of HCl exhaust. For this reason it is recommended for missile applications, which must have high accelerating power together with a significantly reduced plume signature and smoke production.     

含FOX-7发射药的燃烧性能

采用常规密闭爆发器研究了含FOX-7硝胺发射药的燃速、压强指数和压强变化率。结果表明,随着样品中FOX-7含量的增加,发射药的点火延滞时间增加,燃速系数减小,燃速降低;其压强变化率的最大值及增长速率均降低。当燃烧压强小于150MPa时,FOX-7含量对发射药的压强指数没有影响,FOX-7改善发射药压强指数的能力不明显;随着燃烧压强的增加,含FOX-7发射药的压强指数降低,尤其当燃烧压强大于200MPa时,发射药的燃速压强指数显著降低。随着发射药中FOX-7含量的增加,其压强指数及燃速系数均降低,有利于发射药的稳定燃烧。

Modeling,Simulation and Characterization of Complex Shaped Solid Propellant Combustion

A model to simulate propellant combustion in a closed bomb and a method for burn rate measurement are presented. The model incorporates the 2D ICT‐Cellular‐Combustion‐Algorithm which numerically simulates the 2D form function of an arbitrary shaped propellant cross section. With the help of preprocessing algorithms to calculate initial surface and volume and a lumped parameter model, which also takes into account pressure dependent thermochemistry, pressure vs. time curves and the dynamic vivacity can be simulated. The model is then coupled with different optimization algorithms to minimize an objective function for burn rate measurement with either pressure or vivacity data. Four different optimization algorithms are compared in detail using synthetic pressure‐time and dynamic vivacity data of a 7 perforated propellant with and without white noise. The testing shows that the so called Nelder‐Mead‐Downhill‐Simplex algorithm with a vivacity based objective function allows the most precise, robust and computationally cost effective burn rate measurement. Experimental results for 7 perforated JA2 propellant from a 306 cm³ closed bomb are used to determine Vieille′s parameters α and β. The determined values of α=0,9520±0,006319 and β=0,1522±0,007592 mm/s are in good agreement with previously reported values of α=0.9517 and β=0.1467 mm/s. With the presented model and burn rate measurement method it is possible to determine the burning rates of solid propellants with a high degree of accuracy.
