Super-Rate Burning of HMX Composite Propellants

The super-rate burning rates of HMX-HTPE and HMX-HTPS propellants are shown in Figs. 7.40 and 7.41, respectively. The basic chemical compositions and 

Though the physicochemical properties of HTPE and HTPS are different, both are subject to a similar super-rate burning effect. However, the magnitude of the effect is dependent on the type of binder used. As in the case of double-base propellants, the combustion wave structures of the respective propellants are homogeneous, even though the propellant structures are heterogeneous and the luminous flames are produced above the burning surfaces.
