- Summary
-
Heat transfer analyses of circular plan extended surfaces of space radiators with meteorite protection are presented herein. The circular extended surfaces include rectangular plates of uniform thickness and triangular, trapezoidal, and constant-temperature-gradient profiles. Complete radiator systems are analyzed and illustrative examples are given. The thermal analyses of circular extended surfaces produced relationships between the physical properties and dimensions, element and environmental temperatures, and rates of heat transfer. These are shown graphically for all types of elements. The optimum proportions of space radiator elements having the greatest ratio of heat radiation rate per pound of weight are also indicated graphically, and procedures for their calculation are shown. The discussions on radiators include dimensional-thermal relationships, and the temperature distribution in duct walls for complete units. Equations and graphs using simplifying assumptions are also presented for use in making a quick analysis of heat exchanger performance. Even though approximate, these data will save a designer considerable time in establishing a suitable configuration. General transient systems are also analyzed, as are more complex transient systems wherein a radiator is used for heat exchange to an environment.
