Detailed kinetic model for ammonium dinitramide decomposition

抄録

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN; [NH4]+[N(NO2)2]−) is the most promising oxidizer for use with future green solid and liquid propellants for spacecraft applications. To allow the effective development and use of ADN-based propellants, it is important to understand ADN reaction mechanisms. This work presents a detailed chemical kinetics model for the liquid phase reactions of ADN based on quantum chemical calculations. The thermal corrections, entropies, and heat capacities of chemical species were calculated from the partition function using statistical machinery based on the G4 level of theory. Rate coefficients were also determined to allow the application of transition state theory and variational transition state theory to reactions identified in our previous study. The new model employed herein simulates the thermal decomposition of ADN under specific heating conditions and successfully predicts heats of reaction and the gases that result from decomposition under those conditions. The thermal behavior predicted from the new model was an excellent match with the experimental behavior observed from thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy. The new kinetic model reveals the mechanism for the decomposition of ADN.
