Ai. Atwood et al., Burning rate of solid propellant ingredients, Part 2: Determination of burning rate temperature sensitivity, J PROPUL P, 15(6), 1999, pp. 748-752
Once the burning rate as a function of initial temperature has been measure
d for a particular material, it is often desirable to report its burning ra
te temperature sensitivity as a single value that can then be used in other
applications. A few of the obstacles encountered when making the determina
tion of burning rate temperature sensitivity, sigma(p), are examined. Burni
ng rate temperature sensitivity was evaluated for the neat ingredients AP,
HMX, RDX, ADN, CL-20, and HNF.
