Abstract:

United Technology Center is conducting a research program to investigate the effect of formulation variables on the combustion behavior of light metal hydrides. The present investigation is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of combustion under conditions as nearly free of formulation limitations as possible. Design work and procurement of hardware have been completed and a four-phase program is in progress, as follows Phase I. Construction of apparatus. Hardware procurement is complete and final assembly is in progress Phases II and III. Investigation of combustion mechanisms of two light metal hydrides to be conducted concurrently upon completion of Phase I. Phase IV. Development of a mathematical model. This phase is being conducted concurrently with the other phases. Author
