Combustion characteristics and mechanisms of ammonium dinitramide

Advances in studies of combustion characteristics and mechanism of ammonium dinitramide (ADN) were reviewed. The relationships between burning rate and pressure of ADN were introduced with description of combustion phenomena under different pressures. The experimental temperature profiles in combustion wave of ADN were collected. Initial thermal decomposition reactions and dark-zone formation mechanisms in ADN combustion were discussed combining with the author's analysis.
