Ignition delay of micro/nano aluminum particles is caused by aluminum oxide shell. The method of minimizing this ignition delay is proposed in the study. Generating and heating of particles are processed at the same time. As soon as heated particles are produced, they immediately contact with oxygen. Chemical reaction is induced on the contact surface instead of crystallization of oxide shell. Finally particles are ignited. Aluminum particles are generated by laser ablation on an aluminum plate using Nd:YAG pulse laser. Injected particles are confirmed through visualization of particles using scattering method. $CO_2$ continuous laser supplies heat to aluminum plate and generated particles. Trace of burning particles is observed in the experiment.

We present a model for simulating high energy laser heating of metal for ignition of energetic materials. The model considers effect of ablation of steel plate with long laser pulses and continuous lasers of several kilowatts and the thermal response of well-characterized high explosives for ignition. Since there is enough time for the thermal wave to propagate into the target and to create a region of hot spot in the high explosives, electron thermal diffusion of ultra-short (femto- and pico-second) lasing is ignored; instead, heat diffusion of absorbed laser energy in the solid target is modeled with thermal decomposition kinetic models of high explosives. Numerically simulated pulsed-laser heating of solid target and thermal explosion of RDX, TATB, and HMX are compared to experimental results. The experimental and numerical results are in good agreement.

레이저를 steel 표면에 조사하면, steel은 레이저의 복사 에너지를 홉수하여 급격히 가열되어 온도가 증가한다. 이때 steel에서는 phase explosion이 발생하고 shock wave와 플라즈마가 생성된다. 본 연구에서는 이 steel의 후면에 고폭화약을 접해 놓고 레이저 가열에 의한 화약의 점화 현상을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 heat diffusion equation과 chemical heat release를 사용하였고, 고에너지 물질의 열분해 반응을 위해 3 step global kinetics를 사용하였다. 또한, 계산된 결과는 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 검증 되었다.

The blast wave released during the initiation of energetic materials gives rise to pulse energy generation, characterized by a sudden increase of potential energy. A highly efficient energy source, sought from pulse-type lasers, may be utilized in various space propulsion and power applications. This paper introduces a scheme of utilizing the laser energy in 1) attitude control of a satellite requiring of a low thrust, 2) innovative laser-induced drug delivery, 3) implosion-based micro piston development, 4) deflecting and zapping of space debris for laser kill purpose, and 5) finally lunar detection using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy.

고체추진제의 첨가제 또는 연료로써 주로 사용되는 알루미늄 단일 입자 연소시험 장비를 제작하고 연소 실험을 수행하였다. 산화 알루미늄으로 피복된 금속입자는 약 30~100 ${\mu}m$의 크기를 사용하였다. 단일 입자는 Electrodynamic Balance (EDB) 방법에 의해 공중 부양된 상태로, 중력에 의한 영향이 배제되어 금속입자 고정용 또는 측정용 장치들의 접촉에 의한 열손실을 제거시켜 실험 정확도를 높였다. Standard Hyperbolic Electrodynamic Levitator (SHEL) 내에서 부양된 입자에 $CO_2$ 레이저를 사용하여 점화시킨 후, 입자로부터 방사되는 열복사를 이용한 two wavelength pyrometry를 적용하여 알루미늄 입자 크기에 따른 연소시간, 평균 화염온도, 점화온도, 점화시간을 획득하였으며, 단일 알루미늄 입자의 점화-연소특성을 평가하였다.

Basically, in order to apply solid propellant as ignition source to high energy metal particle combustion system, we analyzed combustion characteristics of the HTPB/AP/Al, HTPE/AP/Al propellants by using a strand burner. The propellants were tested in a high-pressure windowed strand burner, which was pressurized up to 300 psia with pure argon gas. Strand burner was visualized with two quartz windows and ignition was accomplished by a 10 W $CO_2$ laser. The burning rate of propellant was measured with high-speed camera method for frame analysis and photodiode method for combustion time analysis. Emission spectrum was measured with spectrometer at 300 nm ~ 800 nm and 1500 nm ~ 5000 nm and then we analyzed species during propellant combustion.
