Propellant burn rate β = 0.00024 (in./s)/(psi)
Web thickness D = 0.0197 in.
Propellant force λ = 318,000 ft lbf/lbm
a. Determine the central ballistic parameter for this gun/projectile combination.
b. Using the aforementioned data, determine the projectile base pressure, velocity,
and distance down the bore of the weapon for both peak pressure and charge
burnout.
c. Determine the muzzle velocity of the weapon and the pressure acting on the ...
