Abstract

An experimental investigation was made into the thermal effect of a single gas jet on a plate at Mach numbers of the nozzles in the range 2–6.1, specific heat ratio γ = 1.4, total pressure difference up to 6·107, gas temperature 450–520 °K in the forechamber, and pressure in the forechamber (10–20)· 105 Pa. The proposed dimensionless numbers made it possible to obtain generalized dependences of the distribution of the heat flux to the plate on the conditions of the problem. A method of approximate calculation of the heat fluxes is proposed.
