دانلود کتاب Engineering Design Handbook - Explosives Series, Part One - Solid Propellants

This Handbook has been prepared as one of a series on Explosives. It is part of a group of handbooks covering the engineering principles and fundamental data needed in the development of Army materiel. This 1964 Handbook presents information on the design, functioning and manufacture of solid propellants for use in propelling charges for guns and rockets. This Handbook is intended to provide a general description of solid propellants used in small arms, artillery, rockets, and some other devices. It is assumed that the reader has a background equivalent of an undergraduate degree in engineering or physical science, but no previous experience in propellants or ballistics.
