Wired gas-generating pyrolants

of gas-generating pyrolants such as fuel-rich AP-HTPB and fuel-rich nitropoly-mer pyrolants are lower than those of rocket propellants such as AP-HTPB and nitropolymer propellants. The gas-phase temperature is low and hence the heat flux feedback through the wires is low for the gas-generating pyrolants as compared with propellants. However, r /ro appears to be approximately the same for both pyrolants and propellants. The obtained burning-rate augmentations are of the order of 2-5.
