Determination of Thermodynamic Characteristics of Phase-stabilized Ammonium Nitrate-Based High-energy Solid Combustible Materials

ABSTRACT

The thermodynamic and physical characteristics of the starting components and the synthesized high-energy solid combustible materials are determined. It was established that the reaction of the formation of aluminum nitride in the endothermic mode is possible at a temperature of about 3000 K. The adiabatic combustion temperatures of the synthesized fuel systems in the combustion chamber are calculated. The dependence of the values of the adiabatic temperature and specific impulse on the excess of the oxidizing agent, the nature of the binder and energy additives is established.
