The burning rate characteristics of the propellant containing TiH 2 have been examined in order to understand the effect of TiH 2 addition on the combustion wave structure. The burning rate increases and the pressure exponent of burning rate decreases as the addition of TiH 2 increases. Using very fine thermocouples which were embedded within the propellant samples, the heat transfer process in the combustion wave was determined. The results indicate that the heat flux feedback from the gas phase to the burning surface increases when TiH 2 is mixed within the propellants.
