Effect of transpiration cooling on nozzle heat transfer Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The effect of transpirations cooling at various blowing ratios on turbulent heat transfer are investigated on a two-dimensional contoured nozzle. Overall, the heat transfer rate is shown to be significantly reduced by transpiration cooling. A 40% reduction is measured for a local blowing ratio of 1.17%. The present two-dimensional results have indicated that transpiration cooling has the potential to be an effective means of rocket nozzle cooling.
