Abstract

In order to get the nearly neutral burning law, mathematical model was propesed. The variance of burning law was selected as the objective function, and the burning law for slotted tube grain was studied by the method of analytic formulae. Based on simplex method, slotted tube grain was optimized by changing the multiple design parameters at the same time. The results show that the decrease of inner diameter and slot depth can decrease the rate of the change for burning area. The increase of the arc can reduce the difficulty of slotting and the increase of slot length can decrease the rate of the change for burning area. The decrease of the amplitude for objective function can decrease the rate of the change for burning area, and can make the burning law close to neutral.
