Abstract

Gas generator apparatus usable with a ducted rocket propellant having a high exponent burn rate, a burn rate that is burn chamber pressure sensitive to a greater degree than are normally used propellants. The gas generator includes elementary pressure regulating elements and apparatus for damping movement of the pressure regulating elements to remove oscillatory components of motion therefrom. Burn rate operating point determination and the stability characteristics thereof are described along with the effects of variations in propellant burn rate exponent and regulating element parameters.
