Turbulent heat-transfer rates were measured on a thin-walled, slender cone in a hypersonic tunnel at a free-stream Mach number of 5.0. Wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios of approximately 0.3 and 0.45 were obtained by cooling the model with liquid CO2. A wide range of test Reynolds numbers were obtained by varying the tunnel supply pressure. This provided data for both laminar and mixed laminar - turbulent boundary-layer conditions. The experimental results are compared with existing theories which predict convective heat-transfer coefficients. These comparisons substantiate the predictions of Winkler and Cha for the present test conditions. (Author).

Turbulent boundary layer heat transfer rates were measured on a thin-walled slender cone at a free-stream Mach number of 5.0. Wall to stagnation temperature ratios from 0.15 to 0.40 were obtained by pre-cooling the model using liquid nitrogen. Tests at a wide range of Reynolds numbers were conducted by varying the tunnel supply pressure; thus providing data for both laminar and mixed laminar-turbulent types of boundary layers. The experimental results obtained were compared with existing theories which predict convective heat transfer coefficients. These comparisons indicate that the data corresponding to a 760R supply temperature verify the predictions of Winkler and Cha; however, data acquired at a supply temperature of 1160R substantiate the predictions of Spalding and Chi.

Turbulent boundary-layer heat transfer and skin-friction coefficients were measured on sharp slender cones at a free-stream Mach number of 5.0. Wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios from 0.15 to 0.80 were obtained by precooling or preheating the model. Tests were conducted for a wide range of Reynolds numbers by varying the tunnel supply pressure and temperature, thus providing data for naturally turbulent boundary layers. The experimental results were compared with existing theories which predict convective Stanton number or skin-friction coefficients. These comparisons indicate that the heat-transfer data are best predicted by the Spalding-Chi law and the skin friction by the Sommer-Short reference temperature method. The experimental Reynolds analogy factor is adequately predicted by Colburn's incompressible correlation for wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios above about 0.5. However, for lower wall temperature ratios, the experimental Reynolds analogy factor decreases with decreased temperature ratios in a manner which has not been previously reported. (Author).

An experimental investigation of the effect of extreme wall cooling on boundary layer transition has been carried out on a 5.4 deg half-angle cone. The range of test conditions included unit Reynolds numbers from 1000 000 to 3500 000, local Mach numbers from 2.4 to 2.8, and wall-to-adiabatic wall enthalpy ratios from 0.018 to 0.045. Local transition Reynolds numbers were obtained from measurements of heat transfer distribution on the surface of the cone model and ranged from 550 000 to 1800 000, based on distance from the tip of the cone, over the range of conditions covered. The results indicate a decreasing transition Reynolds number with increasing wall cooling. A unit Reynolds number effect on transition was observed. (Author).
