Research Abstract

During atmospheric entry, a maximun flight Mach number is over 25 and a very strong shock wave is generated ahead of a nose and wings. Air temperature behind such a strong shock wave becomes over 10,000K and as a result nitrogen and oxygen molecules dissociated and ionized. In addition Nitric oxide is also produced due to the combination of dissociated molecules. An arc-heated wind tunnel can be considered as one of ground test facilities to similate the atmospheric entry conditions, that is to say, a high speed flow of dissociated and ionized air. A conventional arc heater is water-cooled but this water cooling system is considerable complex and sometimes an accident of water occurs. Therfore, in the present study, a radiation-cooled arc heated is proposed instead of a water-cooled arc heater. It is the present aim to develop such a radiation-cooled arc heater and to apply it to studies of high-enthalpy flows needed for the reeentry aerodynamic heating experiments
The following items have been done in 1997 :
(1) perforamnce test of a arc-heated wind tunnel
・arc current-arc voltage characteristics
・test gas flow rate-arc current characteristics
・arc current-stagnation enthalpy characteristics
(2) thermal characterics test
・stagnation heat flux measurements
・estimation of stagnation enthalpy
・estimation of heating efficiency
