- Summary
-
The rates of thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate and an ammonium perchlorate solid propellant at 15, 25, and 50 kilobars (1.5X10 , 2.5X10 , and 5.0XlO N/m ) pressure were studied in a cubic anvil press. The data were correlated by first order rate equations to obtain the temperature variation of the specific reaction rates and the apparent activation energies. Explosion limits of pure ammunium perchlorate are included to 30 kilobars (3. OXlO9 N/m2). Electrical resistance measurements of this salt at high pressure were also made.
