A solid propellant of density $1800 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ has a burning rate law $r=6.65 \times 10^{-3} p^{0.45} \mathrm{~mm} / \mathrm{s}$, where $p$ is pressure in Pascals. It is used in a rocket motor with a tubular grain with an initial burning area of $0.314 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. The characteristic velocity is $1450 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. What should be the nozzle throat diameter to achieve an equilibrium chamber pressure of 50 bar at the end of the ignition transient?
(A) $35 \mathrm{~mm}$
(B) $38 \mathrm{~mm}$
(C) $41 \mathrm{~mm}$
(D) $45 \mathrm{~mm}$
