Bi. Gorshkov et al., ESTIMATION OF THE PRESSURE BUILT-UP IN A NONHERMETIC VESSEL UPON COMBUSTION OF A SOLID-PROPELLANT COMPOSITION, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 33(2), 1997, pp. 193-197
have developed an approximate mathematical model that allows one to ca
lculate the pressure in a nonhermetic vessel upon combustion of a soli
d-propellant composition in it. Laboratory experiments showing the val
idity of the model were performed. It is shown that a maximum pressure
is attained long before the combustion of the solid-propellant compos
ition in a nonhermetic room.
