Abstract: Summary In combustion research, nitromethane is an important nitro-compounded liquid propellant offering high performance. Additionally it can be used as a model substance for understanding mechanisms of combustion of solid propellants. The objectives of investigations were the burning behaviour and the flame spectrum in the UV=VIS spectral range because of the appearance of strong radical emissions also present in flames of other energetic materials. The evaluation is based on a detailed chemical kinetics and a linear combustion model including a reduced mechanism.

- 01 Jan 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed model for the flame structure and linear regression rate of a monopropellant was developed and validated with experimental data, and the model considered one-dimensional behavior with surface vaporization and detailed gas-phase kinetics based on the RDX mechanism of Yetter et al. combined with the nitromethane decomposition mechanism of Glarborg, Bendtsen, and Miller, resulting in a mechanism consisting of 47 species and 250 elementary reactions.
