Fizz zone

S.K. Sinha W.D. Patwardhan, Explosiv-stoffe 16 (10), 223-25 (1968) CA 70,49144 (1969) The mechanism causing the plateau effect in the combustion of proplnts with ad-mixt of Pb compds (ie, the independence of pressure of the combustion rate in a certain range) is discussed. This effect is caused by the transport of free Pb alkyl radicals from the foam zone to the fizz zone, which decomn there, causing a more efficient combustion, and increase the temp of this zone by reaction1 with NO. An increase of pressure is assumed to displace the free radicals from this zone because of the increase of the collision rate . this leads... [Pg.937]

The burning mechanism of composite propellants differs from that described above. There is no exothermic reaction which can lead to a self-sustaining fizz zone. Instead, the first process appears to be the softening and breakdown of the organic binder/fuel which surrounds the ammonium perchlorate particles. Particles of propellant become detached and enter the flame. The binder is pyrolysed and the ammonium perchlorate broken down, initially to ammonia and perchloric acid. The main chemical reaction is thus in the gas phase, between the initial dissociation products. [Pg.183]

Fizz zone. In the burning of propellants, the zone in which the solid propellant is converted to gaseous intermediates (see p. 182). [Pg.198]

The combustion wave of a double-base propellant consists of the following five successive zones, as shovm in Fig. 6.3 (I) heat conduction zone, (II) soHd-phase reaction zone, (III) fizz zone, (IV) dark zone, and (V) flame zone-l i -i -i ]... [Pg.144]

III) Fizz zone The major fractions of nitrogen dioxide and the aldehydes and other C,H,0 and HC species react to produce nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, water, hydrogen, and carbonaceous materials. This reaction process occurs very rapidly in the early stages of the gas-phase reaction zone, just above the burning surface. [Pg.145]

IV) Dark zone In this zone, oxidation reactions of the products formed in the fizz-zone reaction take place. Nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbonaceous fragments react to produce nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, etc. These exothermic reactions occur only very slowly unless the temperature and/or pressure is sufficiently high. [Pg.145]

The thermal structure of the combustion wave of a double-base propellant is revealed by its temperature profile trace. In the solid-phase reaction zone, the temperature increases rapidly from the initial temperature in the heat conduction zone, Tq, to the onset temperature of the solid-phase reaction, T , which is just below the burning surface temperature, T. The temperature continues to increase rapidly from T to the temperature at the end of the fizz zone, T, which is equal to the temperature at the beginning of the dark zone. In the dark zone, the temperature increases relatively slowly and the thickness of the dark zone is much greater than that of the solid-phase reaction zone or the fizz zone. Between the dark zone and the flame zone, the temperature increases rapidly once more and reaches the maximum flame temperature in the flame zone, i. e., the adiabatic flame temperature, Tg. [Pg.146]

Thus, the combustion wave structure of double-base propellants appears to showa two-stage gas-phase reaction, taking place in the fizz zone and the dark zone. The thickness of the fizz zone is actually dependent on the chemical kinetics of the... [Pg.146]

In the dark zone, the temperature increases relatively slowly and so for the most part the temperature gradient is much less steep than that in the fizz zone. However, the temperature increases rapidly at about 50 pm from where the flame reaction starts to produce the luminous flame zone. The gas flow velocity increases with increasing distance due to the increase in temperature. The mole fractions of NO, CO, and Hj decrease and those of N2, CO2, and H2O increase with increasing distance in the dark zone. The results imply that the overall reaction in the dark zone is highly exothermic and that the order of reaction is higher than second order because of the reduction reaction involving NO. The derivative of temperature with respect to time t in the dark zone is expressed empirically by the formulal =l... [Pg.147]

The burning rate of a double-base propellant can be calculated by means of Eq. (3.59), assuming the radiation from the gas phase to the burning surface to be negligible. Since the burning rate of a double-base propellant is dominated by the heat flux transferred back from the fizz zone to the burning surface, the reaction rate parameters in Eq. (3.59) are the physicochemical parameters of choice for describing the fizz zone. The gas-phase temperature, Tg, is the temperature at the end of the fizz zone, i. e., the dark-zone temperature, as obtained by means of Eq. (3.60). [Pg.149]

Fig. 6.9 Dark zone temperature (temperature at the end of the fizz zone) increases with increasing pressure as well as with increasing KNO2) at constant pressure.
The rate of temperature increase in the fizz zone, (dT/dt)f, indicates the heating rate due to the exothermic reaction in the fizz zone. As shown in Fig. 6.12, the heating rate increases linearly in a plot of In dT/dt)f versus KNO2) at 2.0 MPa. The reaction time in the fizz zone, Xf, can be obtained by means of a similar relationship to Eq. (6.5), adapted to the fizz zone reaction. Fig. 6.13 shows Xy versus KNOj) at 2.0 MPa. The reaction time decreases linearly with increasing KNOj) in a plot of In Xj versus (N02) and is represented by... [Pg.154]

The temperature profile in the combustion wave of a double-base propellant is altered when the initial propellant temperature Tq is increased to Tq -i- ATq, as shown in Fig. 6.15. The burning surface temperature is increased to -i- AT, and the temperatures of the succeeding gas-phase zones are likewise increased, that of the dark zone from Tgto Tg-t- ATg, and the final flame temperature from 7 to Tf-t- ATf If the burning pressure is low, below about 1 MPa, no luminous flame is formed above the dark zone. The final flame temperature is Tg at low pressures. The burning rate is determined by the heat flux transferred back from the fizz zone to the burning surface and the heat flux produced at the burning surface. The analysis of the temperature sensihvity of double-base propellants described in Section 3.5.4 applies here. [Pg.156]

The temperature sensitivity of burning rate thus comprises 60 % high-energy propellant is due to the lower activation energy and the higher temperature in the fizz zone as compared to the low-energy propellant. [Pg.158]

The combustion wave of an NC-NG-GAP propellant consists of successive two-stage reaction zones.0 1 The first gas-phase reaction occurs at the burning surface and the temperature increases rapidly in the fizz zone. The second zone is the dark zone, which separates the luminous flame zone from the burning surface. Thus, the luminous flame stands some distance above the burning surface. This structure... [Pg.160]

Most importantly, the presence of lead compounds results in a strong acceleration of the fizz zone reactions, i. e., those in the gas phase close to the burning surface. Acceleration of the reactions in the subsequent dark zone or in the luminous flame zone is not significant. The net result of the fizz zone reaction rate acceleration is an increased heat feedback to the surface (e. g., by as much as 100 %), which produces super-rate burning. [Pg.171]

Though it is impossible to formulate a complete mathematical representation of the super-rate burning, it is possible to introduce a simplified description based on a dual-pathway representation of the effects of a shift in stoichiometry. Generalized chemical pathways for both non-catalyzed and catalyzed propellants are shown in Fig. 6.26. The shift toward the stoichiometric ratio causes a substantial increase in the reaction rate in the fizz zone and increases the dark zone temperature, a consequence of which is that the heat flux transferred back from the gas phase to the burning surface increases. [Pg.171]

The temperature gradient in the fizz zone just above the burning surface increases from 1.9 K pm to 2.5 K pm at 0.7 MPa when 2.4% LiF and 0.1 % C are added. The gas-phase reaction rate in the fizz zone is increased and the heat flux feedback from the fizz zone to the burning surface is increased by the addition of the catalysts. However, the effect of the addition of the catalysts is not seen in the dark zone. [Pg.174]
