Abstract
It is shown that in order to construct a theory of nonsteady propellant combustion it is necessary to know the steady-state dependences of the burning rate u0 °, surface temperature Ts °, and flame temperature TF ° on the external parameters and the initial temperature of the propellant. The combustion processes in an unbounded space, when one of the external parameters varies according to a harmonic law, are examined within the framework of such a theory.
