Analytical and Experimental Tube Temperatures in the 8 in. XM201 Cannon,

Abstract

A comparison is made between measured and predicted temperatures in the 8' XM201 cannon. The gross construction of the thermal model is given and data from firing tests on the XM201 cannon are presented. Correlation is found to be good. (Author)
