The Theory of High Speed Guns.


AD475660

Publication Date 1965
Personal Author Seigel, A. E.
Page Count 328
Abstract The monograph summarizes the gas dynamics of high-speed guns, utilizing a gas of low molecular weight at high temperature. Theory and test results are presented. The reader is assumed to be an advanced student in engineering. The fundamental ideas and equations are fully developed. (Author)
