Abstract

The results are given of an investigation of the flow parameters in an induction plasmatron and of heat transfer on water-cooled models in subsonic jets of dissociated air in the range of pressures p = 5·103−1.0·105 N/m2. The obtained experimental data confirm the well-known theoretical conclusion that the catalytic activity of the surface influences the heat fluxes at low pressures when the boundary layer flow is nonequilibrium. The problem of the flow of a subsonic jet of a viscous heat-conducting gas past a model of cylindrical shape with flat end has been solved numerically. The experimental and calculated data are compared.
