Abstract
A powdered rocket was preliminary designed, with Mg powder as fuel and CO2 oxidant for firing test.The results show that powder fuel can be rapidly ignited with air under certain pressure and temperature. And after air supplying was stopped, combustion of Mg/CO2 sustained.Most of deposition on chamber wall was white MgO, and some is unburned Mg. This test may verify the feasibility of Mg/CO2 powdered rocket motor.
