Booster propellant

The U.S. Space Shuttle, for example, has two large solid-rocket boosters for its launch stage. The booster propellant has the following composition ... 

Propellant mass of the two booster propellants Mass fraction of HQ contained within the two booster propellants ... 

The projectile acquires a specified supersonic flight speed after burn-out of the booster propellant. The booster nozzle is then ejected to the outside and the port cover is opened. The compressed air resulting from the aforemenhoned shock wave is then introduced through the air-intake. The booster chamber becomes a ramburner and the gas-generating pyrolant is ignited to produce fuel-rich combushon products.

Modern composite solid propellant is a mechanical mixture of the powder-like chemicals and a binding resin. The propellant used for the Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters (SRBs) is a typical example of such mixture ... 

One spectacular example of the oxidizing ability of perchlorates is their use in the booster rockets of space shuttles. The solid propellant consists of aluminum powder (the fuel), ammonium perchlorate (the oxidizing agent as well as a fuel), and iron(III) oxide (the catalyst). These reactants are mixed into a liquid polymer, which sets to a solid inside the rocket shell. A variety of products can form when the mixture is ignited. One of the reactions is... 

The solid rocket boosters of the Space Shuttle are appropriately named for the solid propellant loaded within them. The ignition provided by the reaction of the solid aluminum powder and ammonium perchlorate powder generates a finely divided white powder known as alumina, various gases, and an extensive amount of heat. The dispersal of the white powder in the gases streaming from the boosters creates the billowy white appearance. 

The propellant mixture in each solid rocket booster of the Space Shuttle contains ammonium perchlorate ( the oxidizer, 69.6% by weight), aluminum ( the fuel, 16% by weight), an iron oxide catalyst (0.4% by weight), a polymeric binder that... 

Finding (Blue Grass) EFKE-8. The Eco Logic process for handling energetics will cause lead-containing M28 propellant to mix with tetrytol when rockets with tetrytol boosters are treated. The combination might lead to the formation of lead picrate. 

Fig. 14.13 shows a typical example of a propellant grain for which the burning surface area ratio of the booster stage and sustainer stage is 2.18. The relahonship...
