Abstract

The compositions, the gas properties in motor chamber and the aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particle size for two kinds of solid propellants with approximately 20% aluminum powder have been investigated. The SEM photographs of $Al_2O_3$ taken from nozzle entrance liner show that the aluminized PCP propellant with 47% volumetric fraction AP/HNIW and bimodal oxidizer 200-5 ${\mu}m$ can offer greater possibility for increasing aluminum agglomeration than the aluminized HTPB propellant with 64% volumetric fraction AP and trimodal oxidizer 400-200-6 ${\mu}m$. The nozzle entrance liner of solid rocket motor with the PCP propellant shows greater erosion at 4 circumferential sections in line with grain slots due to the impingement of large particles, but that with the HTPB propellant shows uniform erosion with circumferential angle.

알루미늄 분말이 약 20% 포함된 2종류의 고체 추진제에 대해 원료성분, 연소실에서의 연소가스 물성치 및 산화알루미늄의 입자 크기를 비교 분석하였다. 산화제(AP/HNIW) 분말이 200과 5 ${\mu}m$로 이분양상이고 47% 부피분율을 지닌 알루미늄을 함유한 PCP계 추진제는 산화제(AP) 분말이 400, 200 및 6 ${\mu}m$로 삼분양상이고 64% 부피분율을 지닌 알루미늄을 함유한 HTPB계 추진제 보다 알루미늄들이 응집될 가능성이 크다는 것을 축소부 내열재에서 채취한 산화알루미늄 입자의 SEM 사진을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. PCP계 추진제를 적용한 고체 추진기관의 노즐 축소부 내열재에서는 큰 산화알루미늄 입자의 충돌로 인해 그레인 슬랏과 일치하는 4개 원주방향 부위에서 삭마가 크게 되었지만 HTPB계 추진제를 적용한 경우에는 원주방향으로 균일하게 삭마되었다.
