Effects of Different Initial Conditions on Combustion Process of Ammonium Dinitramide-Based Energetic Propellant in Straight Nozzle

Le résumé fourni par la source

As a new type of green propellant, ammonium dinitramide (ADN)-based energetic propellants have wide application value and development potential in the field of space propulsion. This paper delves into the intricate impact of varying initial temperatures, pressures, and propellant component ratios on critical parameters, including temperature, combustion rate, and heat release, in the straight nozzle of an ADN-based propellant. The findings indicate that an elevation in both initial temperature and ADN ratio expedites the thermal decomposition rate of ADN, thereby elevating the average temperature in the nozzle. However, the elevation in initial temperature has a negative effect on the overall rise amplitude of average temperature. Furthermore, the initial pressure setting is crucial in determining whether the oxidation reaction of the fuel CH3OH occurs in ADN propellants. When the initial pressure is greater than 10 atm, CH3OH is completely consumed, and the final average temperature is about 2650 K, which increases by 558.89% compared with that at 1 atm. Our work aims to provide theoretical guidance and practical optimization strategies for enhancing propellant performance and optimizing thruster structure design.
