Author : Kankane, D. K.;Ranade, S. N.
Source : Defence Science Journal ; Vol:53(4) ; 2003 ; pp 351-356
Subject : 662.3 Propellants;623.5 Armaments and Ballistics
Keywords : Breech pressure measurement;Gun propellant;Breech pressure;Gun system design;Internal ballistics;Gun
Abstract : The paper describes breech pressure measurement and also discusses the computation of velocity-time and travel-time profiles in the barrel from the instantaneous breech pressure values. The computed value of velocity at the shot out instant is obtained as the muzzle velocity. A close correlation is observed between the muzzle velocities measured by a radar and those computed from pressure-time data by this method.

Author : Murgai, M.P.
Source : Defence Science Journal ; Vol:4(1) ; 1954 ; pp 15-18
Subject : 355 Defence Sciences
Keywords : Gun ;Adiabatic expansion
Abstract : The change in composition of the products of reaction inside the gun, during their adiabatic expansion, from the position of the all burnt to the muzzle has been considered and the temperature of the product, when they reach the muzzle, determine. While the maximum change of composition is 10 percent., the difference of temperature at the muzzle from that calculated on the basis of constant composition is only 1 percent.

Subject : 623.4 Armaments and Ballistics;623 Military Science and Engineering
Keywords : Gun ;Muzzle Velocity;Peizoelectric Efficiency
Abstract : "It has been shown that the muzzle velocity and the piezometric efficiency both may be increased for a suitable composite charge in comparison with those of the single charge. The condition stipulated is that the length of the gun should be sufficiently large in comparison to the initial free space behind the shot. The composite charge considered here consists of two components such that the pressure driving the shot remains absolutely constant throughout the period when the second component burns. "

Subject : 623.5 Armaments and Ballistics
Keywords : Gun ;Linear relation
Abstract : A simple linear relation between the maximum pressure and the short-start pressure has been derived on the basis of a formula given in the Fiat Review of German Science (1939-45) and has been verified to be approximately true in the case of 3.7" Howitzer and 5.5" Gun Mark III.
