Abstract

The energy potential of a H3N+NNO2 hypothetical zwitterionic nitrohydrazine as an artillery propellant component is assessed. As compared to standard propellant charges, hydrocarbon binder-based compositions increase projectile muzzle energy by ≈33% for a 152-mm howitzer and by ≈27% for a 125‑mm tank gun without elevating the combustion temperature. For a 120-mm mortar gun, the muzzle energy increases by ≈14%. Similar ammonium dinitramide-based compositions are considered for comparison, and they exhibit lower efficiency. Active binder-based compositions also achieve high performance values. However, they have a high combustion product temperature, which is unacceptable for most barrel systems.
