2. regression rate. Note that for pentane calculations the blowing parameter value of 13.5and Rhevalue of 0.23 are used. This large upper limit for the amplification explains the experimentally observed regression rates that are determined to be 2-5 times larger than the expected (classical)values.

4. regression rates 2-5 times larger than the expected rates estimated from the classical theory for low viscosity propellants such as pentane. The extended theory developed here successfully predicts these very high regression rates observed in the cryogenic tests. The liquid layer theory also explains the slow burning rates of high viscosity
