The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

SINOPSIS

A model that gives the particulate composition with maximum packing density and minimum viscosity for highly loaded trimodal hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene-ammonium perchlorate (HTPB-AP) based composite propellant was developed by using the packing density concept. The theoretical model developed by Furnas was utilized to predict particulate composition for maximum packing density. The apparent density of each component of trimodal propellant was determined by tapped density analyzer. The void fractions of the components were calculated from the apparent volumes of the component sizes and pre-known particle densities. Using the void fractions of AP components, the optimum size distribution was gathered by Furnas' method. Least-squares technique was used to test the closeness to the optimum size distribution. The fractions of solid components were calculated for the maximum packing and minimum viscosity. The model was tested by rheological characterization of uncured propellant with the predetermined fractions of components. The variation of viscosity with overall void fraction of the propellant was obtained. For trimodal concentrated suspension of two propellants containing the same mean particle size and size distribution of AP particles from different suppliers, different mix viscosity values were obtained due to different shape and surface characteristics of particles shown by scanning electron microscopy analysis. The effect of both packing density and viscosity on the burning rate of propellant was also explored. It was realized that not only average particle size, but also void fraction of AP particles, were important parameters affecting burning rate and better packing changed ballistic properties of propellant.
