Abstract

Nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin are the main components of double-base propellants comprising up to 95% of their total mass. A chemical stabiliser and a burn rate modifier are required components, added in amounts of several percent. The study analyses the effect of carbon black content, contributing less than 1% of the propellant mass, on the burning rate of differently shaped propelling charges. The experiments, carried out on high energetic, double-base propelling charges, showed that the carbon black content significantly affects the burning rate of the propelling charge in the rocket motor chamber.
