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.
