Abstract: | Conclusions Experimental procedure has been developed for physical modeling of monopropellant decomposition in a catalytic packet upon limiting stage of the process, i.e., during evaporation of a liquid in drop conditions. Heat exchange of liquid drops in a catalyst layer heated to high temperatures has been analyzed. Experimental dependence of a volume heat transfer coefficient on grain diameter, liquid flow rate and catalyst material has been obtained. It has been shown that within parameter variations this coefficient is practically independent of the gas velocity and drop diameter. Evaporation mechanism of drops in a heated granular layer has been discussed and carried out. For a more comprehensive examination of the interaction mechanism between the drops and the catalyst layer, a further experimental investigation is necessary in a wider range of change of the basic parameters of the process and use of mathematical modeling in analyzing experimental data.
