Abstract

The introduction of nano-sized energetic ingredients first occurred in Russia about 60 years ago and produced great expectations in the rocket propulsion community. While steady combustion regimes of solid rocket propellants loaded with nanometals are discussed in a companion paper, several instances of unsteady combustion regimes are examined in this paper. Ignition, extinction by fast depressurization, self-sustained oscillatory burning, pressure deflagration limit, and other transient burning processes are considered. Both steady and unsteady combustion papers describe the main features in terms of solid propellant performance and intend to emphasize the unique properties or operating conditions made possible by the addition of nano-sized energetic ingredients. Attention is mainly focused on nAl addition to AP/HTPB formulations, the workhorse of solid space launcher motors.
