CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS IN DE LAVAL NOZZLES

Abstract

The objectives of this program are to determine the local convection heat transfer coefficients in the convergent portion and throat sections of de Laval nozzles; and to determine the effect on the local heat transfer coefficients, particularly at the throat, of varying the contour in the converging section of the nozzle. Three two-dimensional nozzles have been tested. Heat transfer coefficients have been obtained for both the flat and contoured walls.
