Abstract

The delay time of ignition of a composite propellant based on ammonium perchlorate by a CO2-laser is measured at various pressures and radiant flux densities. The characteristics of the propellant at the moment of ignition are calculated. The obtained rate constants of the reactions in the propellant are compared to the respective rate constants of the reactions in the c-phase occurring during the combustion of the composite propellant.
