Burning rate of BAMO copolymer

Fig. 5.22 The burning rate of BAMO copolymer increases with increasing heat of decomposition and aiso with increasing Nj bond energy.

Fig. 5.23 The burning rate of BAMO/ THF copolymer increases as the mass fraction of BAMO is increased at constant pressure.

Fig. 5.24 Effect of initial temperature on the burning rate of BAMO/THF = 60 40 copolymer.

Substituting the and data into Eqs. (3.75) and (3.76), the temperature sensitivity of the gas phase, O, as defined in Eq. (3.79), and of the solid phase, as defined in Eq. (3.80), are determined as 0.0028 and 0.0110 respectively W is approximately four times greater than O. The computed Op represented by the sum of O and W is therefore 0.014 which is approximately equal to the Op derived from burning rate experiments. The heat of reaction at the burning surface is the dominant factor on the temperature sensitivity of the burning rate of the BAMO copolymer.
