In this paper, the numerical analysis for heat conduction of silica/phenolic composite material, which is used for solid rocket nozzle liner or insulator, was conducted. 1-D Finite Difference Method for the analysis of silica/phenolic during the firing of solid rocket motor was used to calculate the heat conduction considering the surface ablation and the thermal decomposition. The boundary condition at the nozzle wall took into account the convective heat transfer, which was obtained by integration equation. The numerical results of the surface ablation and char depth were compared with the results of test motor that is TPEM-10. It was found that the result of calculation is favorably agreed with the thermal response of test motor.

In this paper, the numerical analysis for heat conduction of silica/phenolic composite material, used for solid rocket nozzle liners or insulators, is conducted. A 1-dimensional finite difference method for the analysis of silica/phenolic during the firing of a solid rocket motor is used to calculate heat conduction, considering surface ablation and thermal decomposition. The boundary condition at the nozzle wall, considering the convective heat transfer, is obtained via integration equations. The numerical results of the surface ablation and char depth are compared with the results of a TPEM-10 test motor, finding that the result of calculation agrees with the thermal response of the test motor.
