| 内容記述 | Thermochemical nonequilibrium in the shock layer surrounding vehicles entering the atmospheres of earth and Mars at superescape velocities is studied, deriving reaction rate coefficients that reproduce experimental data obtained in shock tubes. Thermodynamic properties and emitted radiation intensities are obtained for shock tube flow and flow in a shock layer over a blunt body. The results indicate that the viscous layer of the ablation product over an ablating heat shield is likely to be in chemical nonequilbrium. For earth entry flight, the thickness of the nonequilbrium region is between and 2 cm at the expected peak radiation point in the aerobraking trajectory, For Martian entry flight it is between 8 and 23 cm. For the earth entry case, nonequilibrium phenomena reduce radiative heating rate, while the opposite occurs for the Martian case. The radiative heat transfer rates are significant for the Mars entry conditions at entry velocities equal to or greater than 7 km/s. |
