Abstract
The limit of the steady combustion of powder charges of different leng ths has been studied in a model combustion chamber of a solid-propella nt motor. The value of the critical apparatus constant at which powder extinction occurs teas determined. Combustion regimes in which the ch amber pressure can be much lower than that in the steady combustion re gime were recorded for long charges. The causes of occurrence of these combustion regimes are discussed.
