Арнолд Е. Селгер. Теория высокоскоростных пушекThis monograph summarizes the gas dynamics of high-speed guns, utilizing a gas of low molecular weight at high temperature. Theory and test results are presented. The reader is assumed to be an advanced student in engineering. The fundamental ideas and equations are fully developed.Contents:
Introductory remarks.
The preburned propellant (pp) gun – general.
The constant diameter preburned propellant gun.
The chambered preburned propellant gun.
Complete numerical results for the projectile behavior in a PPIG chambered gun.
The influence of cas in the barrel in front of the projectile.
The relation op a preburned propellant gun to a shocktube.
The applicability of the isentropic theory to guns.
Methods of heating the propellant.
The constant base pressure gun.
The effects of propellant gas non-ideality on the performance of preburned propellant guns.
