Ignition and Combustion of Boron Particles in Hydrogen/oxygen Combustion Products at 30 to 150 Atmospheres

Abstract

dc:description

The results of this study demonstrate that boron particle lifetimes at elevated pressures are sufficiently short to make these particles suitable for additives to propellants and that smaller 1-10 μm sized particles, which have still shorter lifetimes, may be appropriate for addition to explosives.
