Abstract

A modified method for prediction of performance of large motors based on erosion constant obtained by partial burning technique is discussed. Erosion constants for two different double base compositions have been determined by partial burning technique. These constraints have been used to predict the performance of the large scale motors developed for Defence applications. The predicted performance compares well with the experimental values.
