Spray and Combustion of Gelled Hypergolic Propellants.

摘要

This document provides an executive summary of work performed by a Purdue-led team on DoD MURI Project W911NF-08-1-0171 entitled: Spray and Combustion of Gelled Hypergolic Propellants for Future Rocket and Missile Engines. The team was formed in 2008 for the response to MURI RFP and includes participants from Purdue, University of Massachusetts, NC State University, and Iowa State University. The overall organization of the research tasks performed by this group is highlighted in Fig. 1-1. Tasks 1.1 and 1.2 (highlighted in green in Fig. 1-1) were structured to address Rheological Task Characterization of Gelled Propellants while Tasks 2.1-2.5 were developed to assess Non- Newtonian Flow Physics of Gelled Propellants. Finally, Tasks 3.1-3.4 addressed the Combustion Physics of Gelled Propellants. Numerous team members contributed to the various tasks over the 5-year effort.
