STUDY OF FORCES ON PROPELLANTS DUE TO HEAT TRANSFER INFLUENCING PROPELLANT TEMPERATURE IN A RECOVERY TYPE VEHICLE.

Abstract

All of the available LMSC publications on propellant orientation and temperature analyses were reviewed. Several simplified analyses were completed to get order-ofmagnitude values for the forces on the propellant due to evaporation, condensation, diffusion, internal radiation, boiling, and surface tension. The laboratory equipment is being assembled for measuring the thermal conductivity of the propellant-helium vapor. A detailed steady-state analysis is presented for the mass transfer from a constant temperature hot liquid to a cooler liquid surface through a one-dimensional helium-propellant vapor region.
