A Simplified Computer Code for Reduction to Burning Rates of Closed Bomb Pressure-Time Data (MINICB)

BRLCB: A Closed-Chamber Data Analysis Program. Part 1. Theory and User's Manual

“…Thus, comparison with SIMPCB will not be included in this report. In an earlier report (Oberle, Juhasz, and Griffie 1987), it was shown that CBRED2 and MINICB calculate bum rate equal to about 1%. Since CBRED2 is no longer available at the Weapons Technology Directorate, ARL, results from BRLCB will be compared to MINICB with the relation to CBRED2 inferred from the earlier comparison of CBRED2 and MINICB.…”

“…Over the years, a number of programs have been developed to perform both the bum rate and surface area analysis (Robbins and Horst 1976;Price andJuhasz 1977: Oberle, Juhasz, andGriffie 1987;Oberle and Kooker 1989). However, except for the Oberle and Kooker program, these programs were designed to •ccommodate only homogenous propellants (i.e., propellants with constant thermochemical properties).…”

“…In addition to BRLCB, three other data reduction programs have been or are still being employed by the Weapons Technology Directorate, ARL, to reduce closed-chamber data. These programs are CBRED2 (Juhasz and Price 1977); MINICB (Oberle, Juhasz, and Griffie 1987); and SIMPCB (Robbins and Horst 1976). In a comparison of the results produced by SIMPCB and BRLCB for JA2 stick propellant, Robbins (1991) found virtually no difference in the computed bum rate.…”

Combustion Mechanisms of Very High Burn Rate (VHBR) Propellant. Phase II.

“…During the present program, a PC-based derivative of CBRED, known as the MINICB** [40] bum rate reduction code, was utilized. The apparent linear bum rate data generated from this code were then plotted as a function of closed bomb chamber pressure on log-log coordinates.…”

Study on Dynamic Burning Rate Equation of Propellant

“…However, the shortcoming of this method is that it is difficult to make area-increase propellant precisely complementary to tubular propellant. Because closed-bomb tests are easy to operate and have low costs, it is always used to study propellant burning rate by researchers home and abroad [1][2][3][4][5].…”
