Application of transpiration cooling on hypersonic vehicles to mitigate material oxidation
- Abstract:
-
This thesis investigates the application of transpiration cooling to mitigate material oxidation of hypersonic vehicles. This was motivated by the early onset of surface oxidation of many high-temperature aerospace materials and the resulting limitation of the flight envelope. For example, Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramics have melting points exceeding 3500 K, thus could balance the incoming heat flux through re-radiation alone, but start oxidising at 1000 K, which limits the passive cooling...
