Study on the influence of moisture content on thermal stability of propellant.

This paper studies the influence of moisture content on the thermal stabilities of double-base propellant and multi-nitro ester propellant. The thermal behaviors and chemical kinetic parameters of the above two propellants and their mixtures with water were analyzed by using a CALVET heat flux calorimeter, C80. The thermal decomposition mechanisms of these two propellants with water were conjectured based on the tests.
