Heat resistance performance evaluation and thermal analysis were performed to confirm the applicability of the lyocell-based carbon/phenolic composite material for heat-resistant parts for aerospace. Heat resistance performance evaluation of carbon/phenolic was conducted by Thermal Protection Evaluation Motor (TPEM). In this paper, boundary layer integration code considering the boundary layer analysis of combustion gas and MSC-Marc 2018 considering ablation and thermal pyrolysis were used for the thermal analysis. The ablation and thermal insulation performance were analyzed by the pressure curve of test motor and the cut carbon/phenolic specimens. The thermal response of the lyocell-based carbon/phenolic material was similar to that of the rayon-based carbon/phenolic material. Based on the results through the combustion test, the applicability of heat-resistant parts for aerospace to which domestic lyocell-based carbon fibers were applied was confirmed.

The thermal response of elastomeric insulators used as protection against high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases varies depending on their composition and thermal environment conditions. In this paper, the thermal response characteristics of elastomeric insulators in different mixing environments were compared. Tests to determine thermal protection performance were carried out using a thermal protection rubber evaluation motor(TPREM), combustion gas velocities of 20 m/s and 100 m/s were tested at a chamber pressure of 1,000 psig. The pressure time curve of the chamber, the temperature time curve of the internal materials, the residual thickness and the thermal destruction depth of the test specimens were obtained. The results showed that the thermal protection performance of elastomeric insulators in different mixing environments was similar.

The evaluation of the temperature of the motor in operation is necessary for smaller and lighter design of motors and for the determination of insulation class. And the evaluation of the temperature in thermal transient state is necessary for the determination of the intermittent rating and the protection from the thermal overload. The temperature can be calculated exactly by considering the loss distribution, the thermal resistances and the thermal capacities dependent on temperature. Using the detailed thermal equivalent circuit, the temperature of any local part of the motor can be evaluated. The comparison between the calculated results and the experiments is performed to verify the validity of the analysis.

This paper describes the research on the non-eroding throat insert materials under condition of high-temperature, high-pressure, and long-burn time. C/SiC, CIT and W/$Y_2O_3$ were chosen and tested in thermal protection evaluation motor of burning time 20 seconds. From the test results, a heat resistance of W/$Y_2O_3$ was the most excellent among them, but was happened crack on material surface. Thermal reaction characteristics and heat resistance of these materials and feasibility of W/$Y_2O_3$ as throat material were ascertained.
