COMBUSTION IN THE TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER OF CHEMICALLY ACTIVE SUBLIMATORS

Abstract

An aerothermochemical analysis of chemically active surfaces immersed in a high speed stream of an oxidizing gas mixture is presented. The analysis applies to turbulent flow over blunt bodies whose surface material passes into the gaseous phase without going through the liquid state. The theory is developed in general for a whole class of sublimators and is applied to the particular case of graphite combustion about which a great deal of fundamental data is available.
