Summary
In the present paper, the equivalent non-leaking ballistic problem has been studied for a R.C.L. H/L gun and the equations have been integrated for the isothermal and partially non-isothermal models for this gun. For the non-isothermal model, equations have been integrated for a tubular charge and it has been shown that in general pressure, gas mass and internal energy in the first chamber increase, while the temperature steadily decreases there, but always remains greater than a certain value.
