Radiation-induced pyrolysis of solid fuels for ramjet application

A wide variety of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) based fuels are experimentally assessed in anaerobic reaction. In this study HTPB pyrolysis is investigated using a CO2 laser as the energy source. The formulation of the solid fuel samples is systematically changed to isolate the effects of...
