Currently, liquid propellants fall into two main categories: normal temperature hydrazine bipropellant (spontaneous combustion type fuel) and low temperature liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen kerosene propellant (low temperature propellant). Low temperature propellant storage is difficult and requires a separate ignition system, otherwise the risk of test failure increases. The hydrazine bipropellant is a self-ignition liquid propellant which takes hydrazine as fuel and nitro as oxidant, and the propellant can release energy through the chemical reaction after the fuel and the oxidant contact to realize self-ignition, so that an auxiliary ignition system is not needed. Compared with low-temperature propellant, the hydrazine bipropellant (spontaneous combustion type fuel) is more reliable in ignition, and because a cooling system and an ignition system are not needed, the hydrazine bipropellant (spontaneous combustion type fuel) is higher in thrust-weight ratio, can be repeatedly started for many times, and can be widely applied to various spacecrafts.
In order to study the ignition characteristics of the auto-ignition type fuel, the auto-ignition type fuel was subjected to ignition and combustion tests.
