Abstract
The energy potential of hypothetical zwitterionic nitrohydrazine H3N \(^{+}\) N \(^{-}\) NO2 as a component of solid composite propellants is estimated. Two-component formulations with a hydrocarbon or an active binder and three-component formulations with aluminum or aluminum hydride additives are considered. The highest calculated ballistic efficiency was obtained for formulations with an active binder and aluminum hydride. Their specific impulse exceeds 280 s, and with allowance for two-phase losses, the maximum effective impulse of the third stage rocket motor reaches 265.4 s, whereas for the optimized similar formulation based on ammonium dinitramide, this value is much lower (262.5 s).
