IGNITION DELAYS AND FLUID PROPERTIES OF SEVERAL FUELS AND NITRIC ACID OXIDANTS IN TEMPERATURE RANGE FROM 70° TO -105° F

摘要

Ignition-delay characteristics of approximately 90 fuel-oxi&ant com¬binations were determined in a modified open-cup apparatus at -40℉. Combinations considered worthy of further study were investigated at tem-peratures in the range from 70° to -105℉. Freezing temperatures of acids were determined as well as viscosities of several fuels at moderate and low temperatures.nAt -40°F, several blends of aromatic amines with triethylamine show promise as ignitor fuels with mixed acid (nitric acid plus sulfuric acid) and red fuming nitric acid, and some of these fuels may be useful also with white fuming nitric acid.
