Reduction of Infrared Emission from Combustion Products

Reduction of Infrared Emission from Combustion Products [Pg.363]

The principal infrared emissions from gaseous combustion products of propellants are caused by the high-temperature COj and H2O molecules. When nitropolymer propellants or AP composite propellants burn, large amounts of high-temperature CO2 and HjO molecules are formed. If these propellants burn incompletely due to their fuel-rich composihons, large amounts of hydrocarbon fragments and solid [Pg.363]
