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 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).

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.

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 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.

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 1982 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind tunnel test runs were conducted on Space Shuttle orbiter insulating articles. The data from one HRSI run was processed by a heat estimation program, revealing a large discrepancy in magnitude of the heat transfer coefficient over the HRSI tile when compared to that yielded by flat plate theory and thin skin results. An initial suggestion for the cause of this discrepancy was the nonisothermal wall effect.
Download or read book An Axisymmetric Analog Two Layer Convective Heating Procedure with Application to the Evaluation of Space Shuttle Orbiter Wing Leading Edge and Windward Surface Heating written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical procedure for predicting the convective heating rate of hypersonic reentry vehicles is described. The procedure, which is based on the axisymmetric analog, consists of obtaining the three-dimensional inviscid flowfield solution; then the surface streamlines and metrics are calculated using the inviscid velocity components on the surface; finally, an axisymmetric boundary layer code or approximate convective heating equations are used to evaluate heating rates. This approach yields heating predictions to general three-dimensional body shapes. The procedure has been applied to the prediction of the wing leading edge heating to the Space Shuttle Orbiter. The numerical results are compared with the results of heat transfer testing (OH66) of an 0.025 scale model of the Space Shuttle Orbiter configuration in the Calspan Hypersonic Shock Tunnel (HST) at Mach 10 and angles of attack of 30 and 40 degrees. Comparisons with STS-5 flight data at Mach 9.15 and angle of attack of 37.4 degrees and STS-2 flight data at Mach 12.86 and angle of attack of 39.7 degrees are also given. Wang, K. C.
