Flame temperature, isochoric

The deficiency can be made up, if no energy is added from the outside, only from the detonation products, with a resulting drop in their temperature from the isochoric adiabatic flame temperature. This may quench the chemical reaction. The deficiency diminishes with decrease of wave-front curvature. For point initiation , enough energy must be added from the outside to make up for the total deficit which accumulates during the time the wave is reaching a diameter at which the curvature drops below a critical value... 

Propellant properties pertinent to the problem are density p gas evolution Vg (cm /g), and isochoric flame temperature Ty. From the above, we know the volumes of the vessels Vq and Vi = We also know the masses of the propellants mo and w, = The volume of gas evolved Irom the propellant at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is...
