title = "Effects of Emissivity on Combustion Behavior of Energetic Materials",
abstract = "Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated from a material{\textquoteright}s surface to that radiated from a blackbody (a perfect emitter) at the same temperature and wavelength and under the same viewing conditions. It is a dimensionless number between 0 (for a perfect reflector) and 1 (for a perfect emitter). Knowledge of surface emissivity is important both for accurate non-contact temperature measurement and for heat transfer calculations [1]. Piobert{\textquoteright}s Law states that all burning occurs at the surface layer by layer and the burning is normal to the surface [2]. This may cause changes in the burn surface response depending on the surface. Another important characteristic of combustion is Saint Robert{\textquoteright}s Law (a.k.a. Vieille{\textquoteright}s Law) which explains the effect of pressure [3]. This paper will investigate through literature and propose a technical approach. The goal will be to assess the effect of a materials emissivity to its combustion behavior and identify a correlation if one exists. As stated above, emissivity does influence heat transfer which is also a contributor to combustion behavior.",
