The effects of addition of nitramine compound to a double-base propellant on the combustion efficiency were investigated. HMX was used as a nitramine compound. Reaction time in the dark zone, heat of explosion, and gaseous combustion products were measured. It was found that the reaction time in the dark zone and the pressure dependence of the heat of explosion were decreased by the addition of HMX. The reason for these facts is that the addition of HMX accelerates the reduction reaction of NO to N2 in the combustion wave. Consequently, the combustion efficiency of doublebase propellant is increased by the addition of HMX.
