Download or read book Heat Transfer Tests on the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter with and Without Simulated Protuberances written by L. D. Carter and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerothermodynamic tests on the forward half of the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration 140C were conducted at Mach number 8. The phase-change paint and thin-skin thermocouple techniques were used to determine the aerodynamic heating rates on the Orbiter models during simulated atmospheric reentry. Smooth 0.04-scale models and models with scaled protuberances and indentations which simulated the windshields, cargo bay door hinges, vents, and thruster nozzles were tested over an angle-of-attack range from 20 to 45 deg at yaw angles from -5 to 5 deg and at Reynolds numbers, based on the total Orbiter scaled length, from 2.15 to 15.9 million. Comparisons of the model heat-transfer rates obtained with a smooth surface and with scaled protuberances are presented.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerothermodynamic transition tests on a model of the forward half of the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration 140C were conducted at Mach Number 8. Phase-change paint was used to determine the aerodynamic heating rates on the windward side of Orbiter models during simulated atmospheric reentry. The majority of the data was obtained using spherical trip elements of varying sizes at three different axial stations along the model to determine the effect of roughness size and location on boundary- layer transition. Additional data were taken with models which had scale indentations that simulated external tank attachment rings, nose wheel well doors, and a surface insulation interface gap. Data were taken over an angle-of-attack range from 20 to 40 deg at free-stream Reynolds numbers, based on the total Orbiter scaled length, from 3.2 to 16.1 million. Typical heat-transfer data were presented to illustrate boundary-layer transition locations and sensitivities to test variables.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat-transfer data were obtained on a 0.0175-scale and on a 0.04-scale model of the NASA/Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter. The data were obtained at mach 8 in the AEDC/VKF Tunnel B at angles of attack from 25 to 42.5 deg and at several free-stream Reynolds numbers from 500,000 to 3,700,000 per ft. (Author).

This book was released on 1979 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer tests were conducted on two 0.0175 scale and one 0.04 scale models of the space shuttle orbiter using the thin-skin thermocouple technique. Data were recorded at Mach numbers 3 and 4 in the AEDC-VKF Supersonic Wind Tunnel A and at Mach 8 in the Hypersonic Tunnel B. Ten model configurations were tested including each orbiter model and the two 0,0175 scale models integrated with the external tank and both solid rocket boosters. The objective of the test was to obtain heating data in regions of the orbiter where no previous data exist or where data extrapolation was not feasible. The model angle of attack ranged from -40 to 40 degrees with yaw angles varying from -15 to 10 degrees. (Author).
Download or read book Simulated Thermal Protection Tile Roughness Effects on Windward Surface Heat Transfer on the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer tests on the forward half of the 0.04-scale models of the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration 140C were conducted at Mach number 8. Infrared scanning was used to determine the influence of simulated thermal protection tile roughness on windward surface heat transfer level and distribution. Tile roughness was in the form of tile surface mismatch and gaps between titles. Tile height (measured from the smooth body wall) ranged from -0.020 in. (cavity) to 0.025 in. (protuberance), and gap width ranged from 0 to 0.020 in. Data were obtained at angles of attack of 30 to 40 deg at zero side-slip at free-stream Reynolds numbers from 2,200,000 to 15,100,000 based on the total Orbiter scaled length. The infrared system is described, and data are presented which illustrate the influence of the major test parameters.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the growing interest in hypersonic flows, the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel initiated a sub-working group on instrumentation for hypersonics in 1989. This sub-group, chaired by J. WENDT (VKI -Belgium), was composed of: A. BOUTIER (ONERA -France), K. BUTEFISCH (DLR -Germany), R. CATTOLICA (SANDIA Lab. -USA), V. CLINE (AEDC -USA), A. GIRARD (ONERA -France), R. McKENZIE (NASA Ames -USA), S. OCHELTREE (NASA Langley -USA) and G. SMEETS (ISL -Franco-German Inst.). As a result of several meetings, the idea came to organize this workshop, 27th April - 1st May 1992, on "New Trends in Instrumentation for Hypersonic Research", at Le Fauga-Mauzac ONERA center, in France, where the new hot-shot arc-heated facility F4, as well as a new conference building, were recently completed. This workshop has been organized in close connection with the AGARD FDP Symposium to be held in Torino 4 - 8 May 1992 on "Theoretical and Experimental Methods in Hypersonic Flows": the main conclusions and ideas expressed by the papers and during the discussions of this workshop are reported in session 7 and have been presented in Torino in a special Instrumentation session. As chairman of this workshop, I express many thanks to the Organizing Committee composed of Karl BUTEFISCH, Andre GIRARD, Stewart OCHELTREE and John WENDT for their very constructive help, leading to a meeting that was recognized to be very fruitful for all the participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three volumes entitled Advances in Hypersonics contain the Proceedings of the Second and Third Joint US/Europe Short Course in Hypersonics which took place in Colorado Springs and Aachen. The Second Course was organized at the US Air Force Academy, USA in January 1989 and the Third Course at Aachen, Germany in October 1990. The main idea of these Courses was to present to chemists, com puter scientists, engineers, experimentalists, mathematicians, and physicists state of the art lectures in scientific and technical dis ciplines including mathematical modeling, computational methods, and experimental measurements necessary to define the aerothermo dynamic environments for space vehicles such as the US Orbiter or the European Hermes flying at hypersonic speeds. The subjects can be grouped into the following areas: Phys ical environments, configuration requirements, propulsion systems (including airbreathing systems), experimental methods for external and internal flow, theoretical and numerical methods. Since hyper sonic flight requires highly integrated systems, the Short Courses not only aimed to give in-depth analysis of hypersonic research and technology but also tried to broaden the view of attendees to give them the ability to understand the complex problem of hypersonic flight. Most of the participants in the Short Courses prepared a docu ment based on their presentation for reproduction in the three vol umes. Some authors spent considerable time and energy going well beyond their oral presentation to provide a quality assessment of the state of the art in their area of expertise as of 1989 and 1991.
Download or read book Infrared and Phase Change Paint Measurements of Heat Transfer on the Space Shuttle Orbiter written by D. W. Stallings and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These tests were part of a large program to evaluate the effects of aerodynamic heating on the Space Shuttle Orbiter. The MA-29 test was a blockage study conducted to determine the maximum allowable model size for OH-90. The OH-90 test was specifically designed to study boundary layer transition on the lower surface of the orbiter wing. Gaps and steps in the wing insulation material were simulated to determine the effect of such irregularities on the state of the boundary layer. The final test shift of the OH-90 entry was done in support of the Rockwell OH-103 project. An orbiter forebody model was used to obtain detailed heat-transfer rate data on the forward 20 percent of the 140C Space Shuttle Orbiter configuration.
