Some Problems of Heat Transfer in Rockets

Abstract

Problems are discussed on performance of rockets through cooling effect of heat transfer of the propellant gases, strength of chamber walls and trap, and high explosive stability. Application of calculations to 4-1/2-in. rocket indicates trap wires reach temperatures over 1000 deg C and wall of burster tube reaches temperature of 350 deg C. Thin layer of insulating material on outside of burster tube is adequate to keep temperature below safe limit.
