HTP Blended with Ethanol using a MMO Catalyst

This is the first test of ~85% hydrogen peroxide blended with ethanol. In the test, I used porous ceramic cylinders infused with mixed metal oxides and sintered at 600C. The test shows ignition in about 9 sec followed by combustion for another 9 sec. The initial flow rate was 1.7 ml/sec at 120 psia. At the end of the test, there was burn through at the injector. I recovered three out of the four cylinders and reused them in a follow on test with an initial flow rate of 5.4 ml/sec but got no ignition.
