Visualizations of Gas-Phase NTO/MMH Reactivity

The objectives of this investigation are to study the details of the nonignition, preignition, ignition, and combustion sequences of the NTO (nitrogen tetroxide)/MMH (monomethyl hydrazine) bipropellant combination. Several techniques have been used to visualize NTO/MMH reactivity at room temperature and recreate some failure scenarios. NTO/MMH flammability diagrams have been established experimentally.
