Abstract
Nonequilibrium thermochemical calculations are performed to evaluate metal environmental conditions for comparison with metal ignition requirements. The effect of propellant composition on this environment and upon fuel gasification potential for transport of particles is presented, and factors affecting the metal ignition requirements are discussed. Nonequilibrium calculations also are made with air to evaluate fuel afterburning potential. These considerations must be taken into account when formulating a propellant system. Experimental data on the combustion of fuel-rich operated hybrid fuels are presented, and the results compared with existing data for stoichiometric operation. Similar nonequilibrium calculations are applied to fuel-rich solid and hybrid systems to evaluate efficacy of operation, and results are compared with reported experimental trends and data obtained in this work.
