A new form of the phenomenological theory of unsteady combustion of solid propellants is proposed. It is based on the explicit use of a single physical quantity effective initial combustion temperature. The solution of the problem of combustion stability in the presence of heat loss from the side surface of fuel of cylindrical form is given. The heat loss reduces the region of combustion stability and can lead to extinction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
