ABSTRACT:
The incorporation of methyl alcohol into a hydrazine, and hydrazine nitrate uel blend is effective in lowering the freezing point of the combination while enhancing the performance of the monopropellant blend by contributing to the total energy of the monopropellant ternary combination. Hydrazine content varies from about 58 to about 68 weight percent, the hydrazine nitrate varies from about 20 to about 25 weight percent, and the methyl alcohol varies from about 12 to about 17 weight percent. The freezing point of this monopropellant fuel blend has a freezing point from about -29.degree. F. to about -65.degree. F., which renders this monopropellant fuel blend useful as a tactical monopropellant fuel blend over a wide temperature range.
