Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of gasification of porous material under the conditions of a gas generator of a propulsion system. A low-temperature gas generator for producing combustible gases can be included in a solid fuel engine. The effect of urotropine particle size on the characteristics of its gasification under the conditions of a low-temperature gas generator was experimentally studied. For this purpose, urotropine particles of various fractions were used: 2–3, 3–5, 5–7 and 7–10 mm. It is shown that there is a particle size value above which the gasification characteristics are practically independent of this parameter. The effect of particle size on gasification characteristics only appears for particle size values below a certain size. This is explained by a decrease in the permeability of the porous bed as the particle size decreases.
