Abstract
An inverse finite element computer code is developed to predict surface heat flux and surface temperature in conjunction with the measured thermocouple temperature history. Determination of convective heat-transfer coefficient and combustion gas temperature is carried out employing transient temperature response chart. Examples are illustrated which are typical of those that arise in thermal design of rocket nozzle. The results demonstrate that the method is remarkable in its ability to estimate unknown boundary conditions.
Zusammenfassung
Es wurde ein inverses Finite-Elemente-Computer-Programm entwickelt, um den Oberflächenwärmestrom und die Oberflächentemperatur aus dem mit Thermoelementen gemessenen Temperaturverlauf zu bestimmen. Die Bestimmung des konvektiven Wärmeübertragungskoeffizienten und der Verbrennungsgastemperatur ist mit Verwendung von Aufzeichnungen der transienten Ansprechtemperatur ausgeführt worden.
Für die thermische Auslegung von Raketendüsen werden einige Beispiele dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse beweisen, daß dieses Verfahren bemerkenswerte Fähigkeiten besitzt, um unbekannte Randbedingungen annähernd zu berechnen.
