Popis: | The depth of penetration of five urea-based deterrents and of dinitrotoluene into an extruded monoperforated nitrocellulose propellant has been studied. The depth of penetration is directly proportional to the concentration of the deterrent solution. Structural variation of the urea-based deterrents and increasing the water content of the alcoholic deterrent solutions have significant effects on the depth of deterrent penetration. Dinitrotoluene penetrates more rapidly than the urea deterrents in all solvents studied. The results are consistent with a diffusion with interaction mechanism. It is suggested that some previous evidence for such a mechanism was not definitive. |
