Simplified Computer Code for Reduction to Burning Rates of Closed Bomb Pressure-Time Data (MINICB)

摘要

A closed bomb burning rate reduction code designed to operate on a microcomputer or programmable hand calculator is presented. To accommodate the needs of a minimal computational environment simplifying assumptions were made in developing the theory and form functions. Typically form function equations are valid only to the point of grain slivering. Evaluation of the program performed against synthetic data from a validated lumped parameter interior ballistics code indicates reasonable agreement with an overall mean error of 1.5% or less. The program also computes experimental impetus given the calculated value for co-volume.
