Abstract:

Because of high combustion enthalpy (such as with oxygen) and availability, conventional aluminum microparticles (Al MPs) are commonly used in solid rocket propellant and other propulsive systems [13]. Although the total energy densityof the system is increased after the addition of Al MPs, the burning rate was notfound to improve much, resulting in a low energy release rate [4]. Additionally, AlMPs have a high ignition temperature of 2300 K, delaying the ignition of the system[2, 5, 6].
