Phenomenon of reduction of the energetic material burning rate in the electric field and self-organizing of the micro/nano-structures in the reactionary zones
One of the major disadvantages of solid propulsion systems is the inability to throttle control.Once ignited, conventional solid propellants cannot be controlled, easily extinguished or restarted, limiting the function and increasing the cost of smart weapon systems.Recent experimental research of burning of the composite solid propellants in the electric field, show a reduction in burning rate at pressures greater than 3 MPa.To explain this phenomenon, this paper will suggest a new hypothesis connected with self organizing and interaction of the electric field micro/nano-structures in the reactionary zones.Research of self-organizing of the micro/nano-structures in the reactionary zones opens a new possibility for development of the smart solid propellants that allow variable thrust at minimal cost.The new possibilities for effective control by combustion processes opens in connection with initiation of self-organizing of the reactionary zone by use of the electric fields and electric discharges.
