Description
This paper presents a systematic approach by which the expected yield from liquid propellants can be predicted and furthermore gives an insight into the physical phenomena involved.
The yield potential and the mixing function can be determined allowing for the type of propellants, their relative proportions, the reaction rates between the components depending upon mixture composition, the heat transfer rates between the components and the propellants and the surroundings, the mode of failure and the resulting mixing characteristics, and the ignition and reaction delay times.
Combining the above information into seven charts as presented leads to a systematic analytical determination of the expected yield.
