Ingredients of Solid Rocket Propellants

Ammonium perchlorate satisfies most of the requirements and is used most widely in composite propellants all over the world. The greatest advantage of AP is the immense experience and vast information on AP-based propellants available over several decades which impart more confidence in this oxidizer. Other non-metallic oxidizers have also been investigated in detail but have not been found suitable for use for one reason or the other. Nitronium perchlorate (NP) which has positive heat of formation and highly favorable oxygen balance was also [Pg.234]

Oxidizer Molecular Density/ Available Salient features [Pg.235]

Ammonium nitrate (AN) nh4no3 1.73 19.5 Cheap. Phase transition takes place at 32.5 °C accompanied by volume change which is not desirable [Pg.235]

Ammonium perchlorate (AP) nh4cio4 1.95 34.0 Most commonly employed oxidizer [Pg.235]

Potassium perchlorate (KP) KC104 2.52 46.2 High bum rates but solid parhcles are present in the exhaust [Pg.235]
