  2. Burn rate (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_rate_(chemistry)

    Burn rate (typically expressed in mm/s or in/s) is the sample length over time at a given pressure and temperature. For solid fuel propellant, the most common method of measuring burn rate is the Crawford Type Strand Burning Rate Bomb System [3] (also known as the Crawford Burner or Strand Burner), as described in MIL-STD-286C. [4]

  3. Parkland formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkland_formula

    The Parkland formula, also known as Baxter formula, is a burn formula developed by Charles R. Baxter, used to estimate the amount of replacement fluid required for the first 24 hours in a burn patient so as to ensure the patient is hemodynamically stable.

  4. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Since the heat of combustion of these elements is known, the heating value can be calculated using Dulong's Formula: HHV [kJ/g]= 33.87m C + 122.3(m H - m O ÷ 8) + 9.4m S where m C , m H , m O , m N , and m S are the contents of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on any (wet, dry or ash free) basis, respectively.

  5. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  6. Burn Rate: Definition and Calculation - AOL

    The burn rate of a company is a measure of its negative cash flow in a set period of time, typically a month. Investors, especially venture capitalists, monitor this metric closely to gauge when ...

  7. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    The burn rate tends to be very fast and the melting point of copper is relatively low, so the reaction produces a significant amount of molten copper in a very short time. Copper(II) thermite reactions can be so fast that it can be considered a type of flash powder .

  8. Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate...

    Erosive burning (high-velocity flow moving past the propellant). Initial temperature of propellant. In summary, however, most formulations have a burn rate between 1–3 mm/s at STP and 6–12 mm/s at 68 atm. The burn characteristics (such as linear burn rate) are often determined prior to rocket motor firing using a strand burner test. This ...

  9. Hybrid rocket fuel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Rocket_Fuel_Regression

    The burn area refers to the surface exposed to the heat of the combustion chamber, and it is just as pivotal to the regression of the rocket as the regression rate itself, since the volume flow rate of fuel is usually given by the regression rate multiplied by the burn area. Depending on the complexity of the grain geometry, it can also be ...
