JANNAF Combustion Subcommittee Meeting (27th) Held in Cheyenne, Wyoming on 5-9 November 1990. Volume 1

This volume is a collection of 57 unclassified/unlimited papers. Specific subjects discussed in this volume include advanced diagnostic techniques, VHBR propellant, electrothermal gun technology, gun propellant burn- rate studies, combustible cartridge cases, and liquid propellant guns. Titles include: Application of Lagrange and Pidduck-Kent gradient models to guns using low molecular weight gases; Numerical simulation of electrothermal gun interior ballistics; Theoretical modeling of interior ballistic processes in an electrothermal gun; Combustion behavior of programmed splitting stick propellants; Effect of charge geometry on tube wall boundary layer; Process control issues in ETC propulsion; Decomposition rate of working fluid in ETC guns as determined from inverse analysis; NO2 detection in liquid propellant combustion; Prediction of gun performance for a second generation 155MM concept VIC regenerative liquid propellant gun; Flamespreading processes in ball powder propellants; Measurement of two-phase jet velocity characteristics by laser- doppler anemometry and flow visualization techniques; and Pulsed laser Raman measurements for rocket combustors.
