More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Triethanol ammonium nitrate (TEAN) has been shown to ignite and burn with significant light emission and pressure generation in a nitrous oxide/argon mixture heated in a shock tube. Ignition threshold is above 1300 K. Ignition delay is a function of pressure and temperature of the gas. Ignition in similar oxygen mixtures takes place in shorter times and at lower temperatures than with N2O. Calculations on the rate of thermal decomposition of the N2O indicate that this process may be important of the time scale of ignition. Keywords: Liquid propellant, Triethanol ammonium nitrate, Shock tube, Ignition
