Transpiration Cooling Of A Porous Plate, Stephan A. Sayegh
Transpiration Cooling Of A Porous Plate, Stephan A. Sayegh
Masters Theses
"Transpiration cooling has long been known as an effective way of removing heat from porous materials. This thesis is a new approach to one of the problems of transpiration cooling in the steady state.
The specific problem considered here is that of a uniform porous plate through which a liquid is forced. This liquid vaporizes at a short distance from the surface through which it is forced and leaves the porous plate at the other surface which is exposed to hot gases. It also protects the hot surface by forming an insulating layer between that surface and the hot gases. …
