Abstract

Abstract This paper reports the results on the influence of various metallic salts and metallic oxides on the ballistics of minimum signature nitramine based high energy propellants of practical value with stable combustion over a wide range of pressures. BLS was found to be an effective ballistic modifier individually as well as in combination with carbon black. Minimum signature composition containing 3:1:1 combination of BLS: Cu2O: carbon black produced burning rate of 10.4 mm. s at 50 ksc pressure with temperature sensitivity of 0.3%/°C. The Isp achieved was of the order of 232 s.
