METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS BASED ENERGY PROPELLANT: EFFECT ON COMBUSTION OF AMMONIUM NITRATE AND MAGNESIUM COMPOSITION

Abstract

In order to obtain a better understanding of thecombustion characteristics of ammonium nitrate (AN) andcarbon (C) mixtures (AN/C), burning tests and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were performed.Ammonium nitrate is widely used in rocket fuels, in explosives and gas generators as an oxidant. However, several major drawbacks have reduced the scope of the application.In order to improve these disadvantages of AN in the composition of composites, energy materials useactivated carbonwith metal oxidesas a metal organic frameworks (MOFs). In addition, the influence of copper oxide on the combustion of compositions and its thermal characteristics was studied.Compositions were combusted at the pressure of 1 MPa, 2 MPa, 3 MPa and 3,5 MPa in the combustion chamber and the burning rates were determined.With the addition of a metal oxide, burning rate has increased for 2‒3 times.The thermal characteristics of compositionswere analyzed using DSC at different heating rates, andthe activation energy of the system was calculated.
