  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. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    The burning of a solid material may appear to lose weight if the mass of combustion gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) are not taken into account. The original mass of flammable material and the mass of the oxygen consumed (typically from the surrounding air) equals the mass of the flame products (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and ...

  4. Burn rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_rate

    Burn rate is the rate at which a company consumes its cash. [1] It is typically expressed in monthly terms and used for startups. E.g., "the company's burn rate is currently $65,000 per month." In this sense, the word "burn" is a synonymous term for negative cash flow. It is also a measure of how fast a company will use up its shareholder ...

    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 ...

  6. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Zwolinski and Wilhoit defined, in 1972, "gross" and "net" values for heats of combustion. In the gross definition the products are the most stable compounds, e.g. H 2 O (l), Br 2 (l), I 2 (s) and H 2 SO 4 (l). In the net definition the products are the gases produced when the compound is burned in an open flame, e.g. H 2 O (g), Br 2 (g), I 2 (g ...

    This graph shows different pressure curves for powders with different burn rates. The leftmost graph is the same as the large graph above. The middle graph shows a powder with a 25% faster burn rate, and the rightmost graph shows a powder with a 20% slower burn rate. Energy is the ability to do work on an object. Work is force applied over a ...
