EFFECT OF VARIABLE SURFACE CATALYSIS ON HEATING NEAR THE STAGNATION POINT OF A BLUNT BODY

This paper describes arc-jet data obtained on the performance of glass coated thermal protection systems in a convectively heated environment. These data confirm earlier flight and arc-jet data that show an increased surface catalysis with salt contamination and a decreased surface catalysis near the softening point temperature of the glass. In addition, surface temperature distributions along sphere-cones with abruptly changing surface catalysis were measured near the stagnation point and compared well with computations using a reacting boundary layer code.
