The product that is a homogeneous fluid solution has different components to perform various functional roles. The product designer has available more design variables to manipulate, and needs to balance their proportions to achieve the desired customer performance and company profit. Let us consider the design of a guided-missile fuel intended for the Tomahawk, which was used prominently in the opening phase of the invasion of Iraq in 2002. 

The early missile fuels were the JP-4 and JP-5 refined petroleum distillates used in turbine-powered aircrafts. The cost range is around 2.00 per gallon, so that a tank of fuel costs 300, which is a tiny fraction of the hardware cost. 

Dimethy la mine and Derivatives Dimethylamine, (H3C)2NH, mw 45.08, N 31.07%. col gas at RT and liq at below 7°, sp gr 0.680 at 0°/4, fr p —92.2° extremely flammable and hazardous causes bums sol in w, ale eth. Can be prepd by passing a mixture of ammonia with vapors of methanol over a catalyst, such as silica gel. Has been used in agricultural herbicides and fungicides, synthetic textiles, fiber solvents, rubber vulcanizing accelerators and in missile fuels (Refs 1, 2, 4)... 

According to Refs 1,2 and 4, Aerozine-50 (UDMH/hydrazine—50/50 wt %) is used as the first stage fuel in the ICB Titan Missile system. This fuel provides a minimal make-ready and launch time as compared to a solid propint system. However, since 1975 there have been 125 reported accidents involving complete missile systems using this fuel. Indeed, ref 3 reports that, Two airmen have been killed and nearly 80 injured, some seriously, as the result of leaks in the missiles fuel and propulsion systems and other accidents. 

Tabun Petrol additives, hydraulic fluids, insecticides, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, detergents, pesticides, missile fuels, vulcanisation of rubber, extraction of gold and silver from ores. 

In other oxygen applications, metal fabrication involves cutting and welding with an oxygen-acetylene torch. Chemical manufacture use includes the formation of ethylene oxide, acrylic acid, propylene oxide, and vinyl acetate. Miscellaneous uses include sewage treatment, aeration, pulp and paper bleaching, and missile fuel. 

Chemistry of boron hydrides (another name, boranes) is now one of the most challenging and rapidly growing area of inorganic chemistry. Boranes are employed in many fields of man s activity, primarily as missile fuels and in cancer research. 

SAFETY PROFILE Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by inhalation. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. Used as a major component of cruise missile fuel. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. 

Use Organic synthesis, catalyst for polymerization of olefins, high-energy aircraft and missile fuel, production of ethyl mercuric chloride. 

Use Acid-gas absorbent, solvent antioxidants, manufacture of dimethylformamide and dimethylacet-amide, dyes, flotation agent, gasoline stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, textile chemicals, rubber accelerators, electroplating, dehairing agent, missile fuels, pesticide propellant, rocket propellants, surfactants, reagent for magnesium.

Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant, Kansas Partially active and partially closed Army ammunition manufacturing facility. Research and development and applied technology testing-demonstration for contaminated media. This would also be a DOIT Committee process demonstration site. Possible future demilitarization site for missiles is a research and development opportunity for missile fuels technology. 

OTHER COMMENTS used as an accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber used in the manufacture of dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide use as a reagent for magnesium useful as a flotation agent, an acid-gas absorbent, gasoline stabilizers, surfactants, rocket propellants, and as missile fuels also used in the manufacture of detergent soaps, and in the pharmaceutical, textile and electroplating industries.

Aircraft or missile fuel access into the facility and its effects can be specifically analysed, applying the criteria for explosion and fire. 

Hydrazine, H2N—NH2, is the simplest diamine. Free hydrazine never has been detected in nature on earth although many hydrazine derivatives have been found. Anhydrous hydrazine was prepared first by Lobry de Bruyn in 1894, In 1938, Fairmont Chemicals began the first production of hydrazine in the United States the quantity produced was small, and the product was mainly for captive use in boiler feedwater treatment. In World War II, hydrazine became important to Germany as a component of missile fuel. In 1954, Olin Chemicals built the first U.S. commercial N2H4 plant, of about 4 million Ib/year capacity. Hydrazine mainly is consumed as a high energy rocket fuel, an oxygen...
