Disperse admixtures in flame plasma influence on the heterogeneous combustion rate in the electrostatic field

The paper presents experimental study results of the disperse admixtures in a flame plasma influence on the polymethylmethacrylate combustion rate change under the action of an electric field in a model hybrid rocket engine. It is shown that increase of disperse admixtures concentration in flame leads to the influence of the field on combustion intensification. An explanation of the results obtained on the basis of the ion-wind mechanism is proposed. (paper)
