With a long-term goal of characterizing the burn-rate bahavior of several energetic materials, a series of experiments has been conducted to study the burn-rate behavior of titanium subhydride potassium perchlorate (TiH/sub 1.65//KC10/sub 4/). The current research investigates the variation of the burn rate of this material with increasing bulk density in a zero-free-volume closed bomb. Thus far the results indicate that the burn rate increases with increasing bulk density to a certain maximum, and then decreases with any additional increase in density. This dependence of burn rate on density is discussed in terms of conductive and convective burning. 12 refs., 6 figs.
