Projectdetails
Doel van het project
The project PEA aims to develop a novel propellant for small arms ammunition with advanced properties, namely with reduced gas temperature. This reduction of the gas temperature limits the mechanical erosion of the barrels and enables a doubling of their lifetime.
Rol van de instelling
The Department of Chemistry has many years of experience in gun propellant engineering. The Department will be mainly involved in the thermodynamical prediction of the propellant performances, the experimental study of the stability and chemical compatibility.
Hoofdbevindingen
The propellants' improvements was achieved through a novel cold formulation using nitrogen additives that significantly dropped the combustion gas temperature.
Financieringsbron
This project has received funding from the Walloon Region (Belgium) under Grant Agreement 8420 - PEA.
