The addition of burning rate enhancers or suppressers in solid propellant composition is seen to affect the energy level considerably. In the present paper, an attempt is made to quantify such effects. Even though the study is carried out over the theoretical values of the performance parameters, the trends in the variations and the corrections occurring therefrom for the inclusion of burning rate modifiers seem to be applicable to the delivered or the actual values also more or less equally.
