Excellent description. You must be a Rocket Scientist as I had many post grad classes with folk destined to work in that area for MICOM(ARDEC(?)) on Redstone Arsenal. So what is the peak temperature in the barrels & is it a linear or non-linear relation to the sonic velocity? Last, typically, where will the shotcharge experience the highest velocity(1/2 way down the tube, 3/4s the way, just outside the tube)?

Kind Regards,
