Heating and Cooling of Rocket Motors

Abstract

Heating and cooling data for the 2.0-in., 2.75-in., 5.0-in. (HPAG), and 5.25-in. (Weapon A) motors with internal-burning grains have been analyzed. The relation of Upsilon, the fractional approach of initial to final temperature, to theta, the time of heating or cooling, is given by the general equation Upsilon = c x 10 (expn negative alpha theta). Values of the constants alpha and c have been evaluated and found to compare reasonably well with those derived from the Gurney-Lurie type of charts for infinite, homogeneous, solid cylinders.
