Item missing The burning rates of metallized solid propellant strands ranging in cross-section from 1/4 x 1/4 inch to 1 x 1 inch and in length from 1/2 inch to 2 inches were tested at five acceleration levels and three pressure levels to determine the effect of the presence of a rigid inhibitor case on measured burning rate. The investigation showed that sample size did influence the average burning rate but that this effect could be minimized by increasing the cross-sectional area of the propellant strand. The burning rates obtained were compared with data from other test facilities, each set of data utilizing a different technique to investigate the influence of acceleration and pressure on propellant burning rate. By proper selection of strand size, a good correlation of results was possible. 2014-03-27T21:10:21Z 2014-03-27T21:10:21Z 1968-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/40042 ocn640306387 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
