A System for Liquid Propellant Gun Data Reduction on a Hewlett-Packard 9830A Calculator.

Abstract

A series of computer programs have been developed for the reduction of liquid propellant gun data to aid in the interpretation, study, and evaluation of liquid propellant gun phenomena. These programs are written in the BASIC computer language and are designed specifically to run on a Hewlett-Packard 9830A calculator. The specific design features of these programs are to reduce and to plot gun pressure and projectile velocity; to compute and to plot the fraction of propellant burned, projectile acceleration, projectile displacement, cavity penetration, and the projectile base pressure all as functions of time.
