Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the science of interior ballistics. It explores the evolution of our understanding of how gunpowder and other propellants work, from the early experiments of Benjamin Robins and Charles Hutton to the groundbreaking research of Count Rumford and General Rodman. The author delves into the fundamental principles of gases, examining their behavior under pressure and temperature, and how these principles apply to the complex processes occurring within a gun barrel during firing. The book meticulously details the combustion of a single powder grain and the dynamic interplay of forces as a charge of powder ignites and propels a projectile down the bore. Through a blend of historical context and scientific inquiry, the author illuminates the intricate relationship between the size and shape of powder grains, the pressure exerted by expanding gases, and the resulting velocity of the projectile. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive, engaging, and historically-grounded account of the scientific principles that underpin the performance of artillery weapons. Its insights, derived from extensive experimentation and analysis, are sure to captivate those with a keen interest in the history of weaponry and the underlying scientific principles that govern its effectiveness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
