| Abstract: Composite propellant properties are directly affected by many processing parameters, particle size of aluminum is one of these parameters. It affects both mechnical properties and performance parameters of propellants. This research is mainly foucused on the experimental study of the effect of using different particle sizes of aluminum on density, tensile strengh, elongation, burning rate, burning time, average pressure, average thrust, specific impulse, and thrust coefficient of a typical rocket propellant. This was achieved by using the same weight percent of ingredients in the propellant and changing only the particle size of aluminum. In addition, different computer programs were used to determine the probable effect of changing particle size of aluminum on the propellant properties. | ||
