Application of Tomography Images to Composite Solid Propellents

Quality validation of solid compound propellants is a basic process in the development of the power generator for rocket propulsion. The choice of a specific methodology is based on its effectiveness. The purpose of the study is to support the use of tomographic images as a tool for visualization of the internal part of the solid composite propellant since computed tomography is a non-destructive test method.The results show how faults in the propellant that could generate undesired effects in its combustion are identified through the cuts, as well as verifying the homogeneity of the propellant structure
