267 Propyleneglycol Dinitrate<br />

Propellant Area Ratio<br />

Klemmung; resserrement<br />

In rocket technology, the ratio between the burning surface of the<br />

propellant and the smallest cross-section of the nozzle. It determines<br />

the resultant pressure in the combustion chamber of the rocket (other<br />

relevant keywords: W Burning Rate, W Gas Jet Velocity, W Rocket,<br />

W Solid Propellant Rocket, W Specific Impulse, W Thrust).<br />

Propellant-actuated Power Devices<br />

Any tool or special mechanized device or gas generator system which<br />

is actuated by a propellant or which releases and directs work through<br />

a propellant charge.<br />

Propergol<br />

In rocket technology, a collective term for all chemical propellants.<br />

Propyleneglycol Dinitrate<br />

methylnitroglycol; Propylenglykoldinitrat;<br />

dinitrate de propylèneglycol propanediol dinitrate<br />

colorless liquid<br />

empirical formula: C3H6N2O6<br />

molecular weight: 166.1<br />

oxygen balance: –28.9%<br />

nitrogen content: 16.87%<br />

density (20 °C): 1.368 g/cm3 lead block test: 540 cm3 /10 g<br />

Propyleneglycol dinitrate is readily soluble in organic solvents, but is<br />

practically insoluble in water. It is obtained by nitration of propyleneglycol<br />

with mixed acid.
