Abstract

In this report, the process characteristic(viscosity), mechanical properties, combustion characteristics, ground and flight test results of propellants used for a rocket-assisted projectile are described according to several aluminum contents. As the aluminum content increased, initial viscosity decreased, viscosity build-up accelerated, and combustion rate and pressure exponent decreased. In the ground fire test, the total impulse of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 10 wt% of aluminum were 5% higher than that of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 2 wt% and 18 wt% of aluminum. The motor efficiency compared to the theoretical performance was 85.6% with 18 wt% of aluminum, the lowest value among the propellant compositions.

본 논문은 알루미늄 함량 변화에 따른 로켓보조추진탄(RAP) 용 추진제의 공정특성(점도), 기계적 물성, 연소특성, 지상 및 비행시험 결과에 관하여 기술하였다. 알루미늄 함량이 증가되면 초기점도는 감소하고 점도 build-up은 빨라지며 연소속도 및 압력지수가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 지상연소시험에서는 알루미늄이 10 wt% 함유된 RAP이 알루미늄이 2 wt%, 18 wt% 함유된 RAP에 비해 총역적이 약 5% 높았으며, 이론성능 대비 모터 효율은 알루미늄이 18 wt% 함유된 조성이 85.6%로 가장 낮았다.
