reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA264896 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The literature related to the flammability and explosion limits of H2O2,H2O2diluent, COH2O2, and COH2air mixtures is reviewed, with particular attention to those aspects relevant to space- and launch vehicle- related conditions. The discussion is hardly exhaustive but is meant to be reasonably self-contained. Applications to a recent Atlas II AC-101 booster system exhaust leak are considered.
