Measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) during air–carbon ablation of graphite are
performed in the Sandia Hypersonic Shock Tunnel. Resistive heating is used to bring …

The work is devoted to the study of the intensity of heat transfer in a supersonic combustion
chamber at a Mach number of 4 under conditions of ignition and transition to intense …

A newly adapted temperature measurement technique is presented for measuring
aerospace relevant high surface temperatures. A comparatively cheap, available digital …

Thermography for measuring high temperatures, ranging from 1000 to 2900 K, in hypersonic
preheated ablation experiments is demonstrated in this work. Filtered images at different …

Fast response heat flux gauges relying on the semi-infinite heat conduction principle have
commonly been used to study heat flux in impulse test facilities such as expansion tubes …

Heat flux measurements are widely used in thermal environment analyses. The Gardon
gauge is an excellent heat flux sensor with a wide measurement range and long lifespan in …

The effects of phenolic decomposition on shock layer radiation in air were investigated in the
X2 expansion tube. By subjecting a carbon phenolic aeroshell to a flow with a velocity of …

The effects of phenolic decomposition on shock-layer radiation were investigated
experimentally in X2 expansion tube for a Venus entry flow. A carbon–phenolic composite …
