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

RÉSUMÉ

The catalytic potential of selected microsized additives (MAs), i.e., aluminum, ferric oxide, magnesium, and activated carbon, in enhancing the linear burn rate of potassium nitrate-sucrose (KNSu) based nontraditional composite solid propellant was experimentally investigated. The investigations were carried out at atmospheric pressure in the present study to ascertain the potential and performance of the selected fuel/oxidizer composition as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventionally used compositions. The particle size of each solid ingredient in the propellant compositions was kept between 75 and 150 μm. The recrystallization technique was employed to prepare a total of 56 propellant compositions containing different MAs in varying mass percentages ranging from 1.0% to 7.5% with a step increment of 0.5%. Four propellant strands of 50 mm length were prepared out of each composition for averaging the calculated linear burn rates. The linear burn rates of the compositions with different MAs were compared to that of the base composition to evaluate the modifications achieved in the linear burn rate provided by particular microsized additives. It was observed that ferric oxide as a MA provided comparatively enhanced linear burn rates when added in small mass percentages, i.e., < 5.5%. Maximum increment of ~ 21% in linear burn rate was achieved on the addition of 5.0% of activated carbon in the composition by mass. However, an increasing quantity of activated carbon was observed to decrease the propellant compositions' density steeply. Empirical relations to interpolate linear burn rates and correlation coefficients between particular MAs and their corresponding linear burn rates were also developed.
