Thermochemical evaluation of advanced gun propellants

( Мой Бертрам К. Термохимическая оценка перспективных артиллерийских порохов.)Technical report. - Eglin Air Force Base, Florida: Air Force Armament Laboratory. 1973. – 29 p.A theoretical, thermochemical propellant-performance computer program has been used at the Air Force Armament Laboratory to evaluate potential ingredients for advanced gun propellants. The program provides a good first approximation to propellant parameters such as impetus, flame temperature, and gas molecular weight. The program was used to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of advanced propellants containing ingredients being considered for further development. Sixteen of these ingredients with different binders were investigated and theoretical computations obtained.
