Comparison of Ozone Model to Experiment
• 10% O2 / 90% O3 liquid at 90 K: rexptl ~ 0.4 cm/s (Streng 1960)
• Single-component evaporation model with mixture-corrected liquid density, thermal conductivity, and enthalpy:
rcalc = 0.30 cm/s
What can explain the discrepancy?
• Multi-component Evaporation
• Liquid-Phase Diffusion
• O3/O2 Phase Separation in Liquid
Weapons and Materials Research
Multi-component Evaporation in Ozone Model
• O2 at surface evaporates faster than O3, enriching the surface concentration of O3 from feedstock value
• O3 surface concentration becomes new eigenvalue; necessitates 4th iteration loop
• Necessitates consideration of molecular diffusion in the liquid phase
O3-O3 Strong interaction
O2-O2 Weak interaction
O2-O3 Moderate interaction

ARL Burn-Rate Predictor: A New Approach
• Assumption 1: Universality and availability of an empirical pyrolysis law for the given class of propellants
• Assumption 2: Condensed-phase decomposition products can be estimated for each ingredient, e.g.,
• Assumption 3: Decomposition of the propellant into gas-phase reactants can be approximated as the non-interactive decomposition of each of its ingredients

Issues in Developing a Molecular-Dynamics Description of EM Combustion
• Gas phase:
– Most easily and accurately done with continuum-mechanics formulation (>80 species, 550 rxns)
• Condensed phases:
– no reliable reaction mechanisms, and those that exist have only a few reactions with uncertain rates
– MD would likely have no competitor for the foreseeable future
– How to couple a MD description with a continuum description of the gas-phase processes?
• Surface-regression mechanism:
– MD coupled with quantum-structure calculations might be able to rationalize pyrolysis law data and provide predictions
– How to couple a MD surface-regression mechanism to the continuum description of the gas phase, as in multi-component evaporation
• MD-calibrated continuum models the answer?
