“…The critical combustion diameter was studied on samples of nitroglycerin powder N (58% colloxylin, 28% nitroglycerin, 12% dinitrotoluene, stabilizer, and plasticizer), model powder NB (58% colloxylin, 40% nitroglycerin, stabilizer, and plasticizer) [7,24], model powder A (49% colloxylin, 49% nitroglycerin, stabilizer, and plasticizer) [4]. The model powders NB and A differ somewhat in composition but have almost identical pressure dependences of the burning rate: u = 0.9p 0.65 for NB and u = 1.0p 0.64 for powder A, where [u] = cm/sec and [p] = atm (here and below, the pressure is in atmospheres, as in the references cited).…”
