HEAT-TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS ON A SATELLITE CONFIGURATION AND SHROUDED DISK

Abstract

This report presents heat-transfer measurements made on a typical satellite configuration in testing environments which simulate conditions at approximately 60 miles altitude, depending on full-scale vehicle size and the particular simulation parameter chosen. The total heating loads to various individual segments of the complete model are tabulated, and a heat-transfer distribution is proposed on the basis of the experimental results. Also reported are measurements on the effect of the extent of a cooled shroud on the heat transfer to a disk normal to the flow.
