Abstract

The effect of relative amounts of fuel and oxidizer, composition of the oxidizer and compactness of the fuel on ignition delays of hydrazones with nitric acid has been studied. Several of the hydrazones give minimum ignition delays at the mixture ratio close to the stoichiometric ratio. Ignition delays of phenyl- and dimethylhydrazones are greatly influenced by the acid composition. Longer ignition delays are observed with the acids having higher concentrations of $NO_2$. A reaction mechanism leading to hypergolic ignition has been proposed for phenylhydrazones/nitric acid systems. Longer ignition delays are observed when the fuels are taken in compacted forms.
