Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and fascinating subject of interior ballistics, which examines the behavior of projectiles and the effects produced on them within the bore of a gun. It begins by defining key terms and concepts, such as gunpowder explosion, ignition, and combustion, and proceeds to provide a comprehensive analysis of the properties of gases, including specific heats, thermodynamic laws, and adiabatic transformations. The author delves into the calculations of pressure, temperature, and velocity at any point in the bore of a gun, and explores the equilibrium in an expanding gas. The book also examines the relationship between breech and projectile pressures and analyzes the factors that affect the maximum pressure in guns. A chapter is dedicated to examining the laws of combustion of gunpowder and presents methods for finding the laws of combustion of explosives under variable pressure. The book concludes with a discussion of smokeless powders and a study of their characteristics, changes in elements, and maximum powders. Through its detailed explanations and insightful analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the science behind interior ballistics, making it an essential resource for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the field of artillery and armament engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
