Specific Features of Ignition of the Solid Rocket Fuel in a Gas Generator with the Use of Pyrogenic Tablets

Abstract

In the paper the results of measurements of ignition of the gunpowder gas generator with the use of pyrogenic tablets of low gas output were presented. The results of ballistic measurements for the mixtures B/KNO3, Zr/KNO3 and Zr/KClO4, and for two shapes of the tablets (planar and lens-shaped) were shown. The obtained results were discussed in comparison with the standard type of ignition, based on black gunpowder.
