THE COMPATIBILITY OF MODEL FOR LOW SHEAR FLOW ANALYSIS IN DEVELOPING PLASTICIZED HTPB-BASED BINDER
In developing flow behavior of plasticized prepolymer as liquid content of composite solid propellant, zero shear viscosity (ZSV) is a critical parameter that Goh-Wan equation is developed to model it recently [1].

Fenomen erozije cevi naoružanja / Gun barrel erosion
U radu su prikazana dosadašnja istraživanja erozije cevi. Trošenje cevi je neizbežan proces do kojeg dolazi pri svakom opaljenju. Erozija cevi može se definisati kao progresivna povreda ili oštećenje površine cevi i proširenje kalibra usled opaljenja ...

Thermochemistry of Combustion in Polyvinyl Alcohol + Hydroxylammonium Nitrate
A mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hydroxylammoniun nitrate (HAN) forms a gummy solid known as a plastisol, which is ionically conducting. When an electrostatic potential of 200 V DC is applied across the plastisol, it ignites.
