Thesis
Transpiration cooling of a hypersonic vehicle
- Abstract:
-
In this thesis, a porous Ultra-High-Temperature-Ceramic (UHTC) made of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) is qualified for the purpose for transpiration cooling for the first time. Subsequently, the mixing mechanism between the coolant and a laminar, hypersonic boundary-layer gas at the wall downstream of a transpiration-cooled injector is investigated. This has led to understanding the mixing process at the wall in a laminar boundary layer.
Porous UHTCs are a candidate group of materials f...
