The viscosity of composite solid propellant slurry is an important parameter in charging technical performance of solid rocket motors. It is affected not only by the liquid phase ingredients of propellants, but also by the size, content, shape and surface properties of solid fillers in propellants. This paper will present a prediction formula of viscosity of composite solid propellant and will also give a method for calculating the maximum packing volume fraction of solid in the formula. One can predict the viscosity of propellant slurry with the formula if the composition of the propellant is known.
