Abstract
Experiments to determine the effect of surface area, head space, and c ontainment on liquid gun propellant degradation at temperatures of 100 and 148 degrees C were conducted. The conclusions from these tests ar e that an increased surface area in LP containment can significantly i ncrease the rate of LP decomposition. The head space is not a signific ant factor in altering the rate of degradation, but if the gaseous pro ducts are allowed to escape, the degradation rate is significantly low ered.
