Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently weight median diameter measurements are used to correlate oxidizer particle size to ballistic performance in solid propellants. Propellant burning is a heterogenous process that is greatly influenced by available surface area of oxidizer particles. Weight median diameter measurements do not accurately reflect the available oxidizer surface area so there are inherent errors in burn rate correlations. This study focuses on the development of a new oxidizer particle characterization technique that is surface dependent to improve accuracy in correlating oxidizer particles to ballistic performance. Keywords: Ammonium perchlorate; Ammonium nitrate.
