Problem 12
M15 propellant was tested in a strand burner to determine the linear burning rate. The
average pressure evolved was 10,000 psi. If the burning exponent, α, was known to be 0.693
and the pressure coefcient, β, was known to be 0.00330 in./s/psi
0.693
. Determine the aver-
age linear burning rate, B in inch per second.

Problem 13
Derive the functional form of ϕ in terms of f for a ake propellant. Assume cylindrical
geometry.
Hint: Flake propellant consists of grains that have thicknesses much smaller than any
other characteristic dimension.
Answer: ϕ(t) = 1 − f
