Effects Of Blowing Ratio On Heat Transfer To The Throat Region Of A Porous-Walled Nozzle, Joseph L. Lenertz Dec 1994

Effects Of Blowing Ratio On Heat Transfer To The Throat Region Of A Porous-Walled Nozzle, Joseph L. Lenertz

Theses and Dissertations

This experiment analyzed the effects of blowing ratio on heat transfer to the throat region of a porous-walled nozzle, using the AFIT low speed shock tube. Heat flux data were taken from both sides of a two-dimensional Mach 2.0 Re-m=5.2x107 nozzle using thin film resistance thermometers. One side was transpiration-cooled by secondary air injection through a sintered wall, while the other side served as a control. Control results were validated using empirical relations, and cooled side results showed up to a 14% reduction in heat transfer coefficient at blowing ratios of only 0.51%. The linear nature of cooling effectiveness …
