Aluminum hydride (AlH 3) is currently receiving considerable attention due to its potential to
replace aluminum (Al) as a new metal fuel in solid propellants. In this study, simultaneous …

Although it is relatively straightforward to measure the ionic, atomic, molecular, and particle
emission features from laser ablation plumes, the associated kinetic and thermodynamic …

Aluminum particle is a metal fuel applied the most frequently in energetic formulations; thus,
it is fundamental to clarify its oxidation or combustion mechanism to make them work more …

To address the resistance effect of protective oxide shell on the ignition of micron-sized
aluminium (Al) and the particle agglomeration and residue deposition of Al-based fuels …

This manuscript presents the development of a two-color laser-absorption-spectroscopy
(LAS) sensor capable of providing calibration-free measurements of temperature and H _2 2 …

Understanding the temperature of aluminized, composite-propellant flames is critical to
achieving robust rocket motor designs and developing accurate, predictive models for …

Recently, the application of high-power microwave fields to sodium-doped aluminized solid
propellants has been shown to increase the atmospheric burning rate by up to 60%. Two …

Imaging emission spectroscopy, spatially resolved laser-absorption spectroscopy, and
particle image velocimetry (PIV) are applied to a flat flame stabilized in a suspension of …

We report the details of an infrared, laser absorption diagnostic capable of quantifying
aluminum monoxide temperature and column density at 100 kHz repetition rate. This novel …

Laser-induced air shock from energetic materials (LASEM) is a laboratory-scale method for
assessing the microsecond and millisecond timescale performance of conventional military …
