Feasibility Demonstration of a Four-Panel Environmental Simulation Oven.

Abstract

The object of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing a test chamber which could reproduce a temperature distribution within a rocket motor (as a function of time and position) as is produced by the sun as it radiates energy to solid propellant rockets stored out-of-doors and as it moves through the sky. This project discusses the design problems in such a system, presents results of testing, and indicates that, indeed, such a test chamber is feasible. (Author)
