Abstract
A thermal resistance estimation of carbon/carbon composites used as the nozzle throat insert of solid rocket motor was performed using TPEM motor. Three types of TPEM motor and two types of propellant were employed. The ablation rate is higher for the higher chamber pressure and also higher for the higher concentration of oxidizing species in combustion gas, but it is lower for the higher material density.
