Abstract Prediction of heat transfer deterioration in rocket engine coolant channels with supercritical flow is essential while designing high pressure rocket
engines. Three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer of cryogenic methane in rectangular engine cooling channels at supercritical pressures with
asymmetric heating imposed on the bottom channel surface is numerically investigated, focusing on the effects of key parameters such as aspect
ratio, heat flux and coolant pressure. Due to the similarity of the coolant channel with that of an actual rocket engine, the results obtained herein are
beneficial for the design and optimization of rocket engine cooling systems. Heat flux is varied from… More >
