Abstract

Accurate information on heat transfer data of combustion products in the solid rocket motor chamber is a crucial prerequisite for the engine thermal protection. A measurement technique was well developed to acquire steady-state heat flux data of two-phase flow and was used successfully in the hostile environment. Experimental heat flux measurement has been obtained with an innovative designed instrument by simulating the flow field of complex charging configuration. The total heat flux of combustion products in the chamber was brought away by the coolant and calculated by its enthalpy rise in this device. The data could be used to analyze the heat transfer phenomena in SRMs and provide boundary condition for establishing insulation erosion model.
