Abstract

The system of equations and boundary conditions for the problem of modeling the heat and mass transfer processes in the plane channel of a combined thermal protection system of the radiative-evaporative type is formulated for time-dependent external heat flux and pressure. The effect of the problem parameters on the basic characteristics of these processes is considered. The possibility of nonmonotonic behavior of the evaporation rate and evaporation surface temperature in the presence of a monotonically increasing heat flux is established. A physical explanation of these effects is given.
