Abstract:This paper studies the effects of radiative heat transfer on the thermal characteristics of regeneratively cooled rocket engines. A conjugated radiative, conductive and convective model is used to analyze the effects of radiative heat transfer in two regeneratively cooled rocket engines. One engine has liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as the propellant and liquid hydrogen as the coolant. The other engine has RP1 (a hydrocarbon fuel) and liquid oxygen as the propellant and liquid oxygen as the coolant. It is s… Show more
