Abstract

This paper gives a direct treatment of the general problem based on the Hunt-Hinds system. Author derives expressions for the maximum pressure and muzzle velocity and study the variation in these with the ratio of the charge weights for a given total charge. In order to obtain closed expressions the usual assumption regarding Co-volume, viz., that the Co-volume of the gases equals the specific volume for each propellant.
