Advanced Cooling Technology Development Program (ACTD). Tests Results from AEDC Track G Tests of Aerojet TCNTs Using Propylene Glycol Analysis Report. (Final)

Abstract

Two transpiration cooled nosetips using propylene glycol as the coolant were fabricated by Aerojet and tested in the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) Track G Facility. The nosetips, S/N G-10CT and G-11CT, used 347 stainless steel platelets and were hemispherical configurations, with nose radii of 0.65 inches and a 17 deg. conical base half angle. Thermal and recession test results are presented and the temperature data are compared to computer code temperature predictions. (TTL)
