SELF-COOLED ROCKET NOZZLES.

Abstract

The work performed during the second quarter of the second year of a program to advance the self-cooled rocket nozzle concept is reported. Modifications to the computer-programmed theoretical analysis of self-cooling are described. A major addition to the analysis is the calculation of cases for composites of the heterogeneous matrix porosity which indicate the manner by which the self-cooling concept may be optimized. Fabrication procedures for the production of composites of complex matrix microstructure are described. The current status and future of the program are discussed. (Author)
