Numerical Simulation of Combustion of a Metallized Composite Solid Propellant with Additives of Nanosized Aluminum Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a numerical simulation of combustion of a metallized composite solid propellant with additives of micron-and nanosized aluminum particles. The model takes into account the thermal effect of decomposition of the condensed phase, convection, diffusion, the exothermic chemical reaction in the gas phase, heating and combustion of aluminum particles in the gas flow, the flow of combustion products, the particle velocity lag relative to the gas. The effect of the Al particle size and mass fraction, emitted from the burning surface, on the burning rate is also taken into consideration.
