Calculated Research on the Energetic Characteristic of TN in Composite Solid Propellant

摘要

This paper discussed briefly the properties of a new organic oxidizer--2,3,5,6--Tetranitrato-1,4-Dinitropiperazine (TN). On the basis of the method of White's Minimization of Gibbs Free Energy, we also studied the energetic characteristics of TN in Composite Solid Propellant by means of electronic computer. The calculated results show that the theoretic specific impulse of the system of TN, AL and HTPB reaches 276 seconds, about ten seconds higher than the system of AP, Al and HTPB. This shows that TN does act as a high energetic oxidizer. The paper also did an initial research on the energetic characteristics of composite solid smokeless propellant consisting of TN and HTPB.
