Time-resolved digital in-line holography and pyrometry for aluminized solid rocket propellants

Chen, Yi; Heyborne, Jeffery D.; Guildenbecher, Daniel R.

Combustion of aluminum droplets in solid rocket propellants is studied using laser diagnostic techniques. The time-resolved droplet velocity, temperature, and size are measured using high speed digital in-line holography and imaging pyrometry at 20 kHz.
