Abstract
In this paper, the authors investigate the consequences of the changing chemical equilibrium states that occur during ETC closed chamber experiments and the associated impact on the propellant burn rate calculation. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data to determine the influence on the computed propellant burn rate when a plasma is present
