D(df/dt) is the time rate of change of the web (i.e., the burning rate)
β is a burn rate coefcient
p

is the pressure (we will discuss the subscript later)
The negative sign comes about because the amount of propellant would be increasing if
D(df/dt) were to result in a positive number. This simple relationship facilitates our analy-
