Abstract
A kinetic analysis of the published surface ignition behavior of M2 double base propellant is made, using a recently-developed approximate analytical model that assumes ignition to result from an adiabatic, first order surface reaction. It is shown that the values of the kinetic parameters obtained in the analysis are the same as are obtained using the results of numerical solution of the more rigorous ignition equations given in the literature. This agreement provides further support for the general validity of the analytical model. The manner of analyzing experimental data with the analytical model is described in detail.
