| Summary: | A suitable method for calculating theoretical energetic performances of a
composite propellant was investigated and successfully verified. This method
is based on generally accepted hypotheses, consistent and simple calculation
of the chemical equilibrium in a predominantly gaseous, multi-component
reactive mixture, and on an appropriate numerical scheme involving the
propellant formula and the assigned rocket motor operating conditions.
Acomputer program, which permits the calculation of the equilibrium
composition of the combustion products and the theoretical energetic
performances of composite propellants has been developed. The results of the
calculations have been compared with data obtained by the programs OPHELIE,
MICROPEP, and the program SPP, as documented in the NASA-Lewis Code, which
is presently a world-wide standard. All comparisons gave satisfactory
agreement. |
