Description:
A theoretical model is derived to determine the average thermodynamic properties in the expanding region, recirculating region, recompression region, and neck region through application of one-dimensional conservation equations. Radiative transfer is calculated using spectrally detailed computer codes accounting for nonequilibrium. The results show that the most severe heating occurs immediately behind the frustum, and that the recompression and neck regions are the major sources of radiation that heats the base stagnation point, The radiation flux to the base point is slightly stronger with ablation than without. Its value is 0.11(43 P(sub b)/P(sub s))(sup 2) times that to the front stagnation point where the base pressure P(sub b) is defined as the average pressure in the recirculating region and P(sub s) is the front stagnation-point pressure. The time-integrated heat load to the base point is 18(43 P(sub b)/P(sub s))(sup 2) kJ/sq cm.
