Abstract:Under extreme thermal environment, ablation process of thermal protection system is a key issue in atmospheric re-entry and hypersonic flight vehicles; it displays a strong coupling between ablation mass, velocity and heat transfer. This article presents a method for combining the ablating and melting process, building a right triangle carbon-carbon model for ablation mixed with octadecane phase change material to absorb the heat of combustion delaying the movement of burning interface. For the moving of bound… Show more
