Abstract

This paper examines the effects of radiation on the ignition transients of a small SRM with a rear ignition system. Radiation effects become important when the combustion gas absorbs and scatters radiation beams. Their effects appear in terms of radiative heat transfer to the solid propellent during the flame spreading period and radiative energy transfer through ihe combustion gas along the combustion chamber. It is found that the radiation significantly shortens the flame spreading time and alters the behavior of total thrust during the ignition period.
