Abstract
This paper considers the extensive data and correlations on the erosive burning of solid propellants. A relatively simple nondimensional relationship between the ratio of the actual to nonerosive burn rate (η) and a quantity g, which is the product of g0-the ratio of free stream mass flux to the mass flux from the surface for nonerosive condition- and Re0m, where Re0 is the Reynolds number based on the nonerosive mass flux of the propellant and port diameter, is shown to correlate most data within the accuracies of the experiments with m=-0.125. This shows the above relationship to account for the effects of pressure, aluminum, even up to a proportion of 17%, burn rate catalysts, and motor size. It is concluded that the suggested correlation between η and g may be adopted universally for most practical propellants.
