Examination of Chemical Kinetics Data Used in Induction Zone Calculations for the Combustion of Cordite

Abstract

The rate constant data used by J. G. Sotter (1965) to model the induction zone of a double-base propellant are re-examined in the light of recent data. Revised constants are reported for most of the 20 reactions considered by Sotter; about five of the changes appear significant.
