Abstract:
The ignition of a solid propellant in water by means of an unsealed system of ignition in the form of an open channel with a heating coil placed in the channel is considered. The ignition system operates according to the principle of creation of extreme conditions of water boiling in the channel with heat supply from an electrical heater. It was established visually that the heating of the walls is preceded by a preliminary period connected with the change in the state of aggregation of water. The system was tested on solid-propellant specimens.
