A computer program can be used to determine the radiative flux and flux divergence through a nonisothermal planar slab of gas is described. The program considers species typical of air at high temperatures and nylon or carbon phenolic ablation products. The equations solved are for a variable optical depth line and continuum gas model using species cross sections and line widths as the basic data.
The results of a stagnation-line analysis of the radiative heating of a phenolic-nylon ablator are reported. The analysis includes flowfield coupling with the ablator surface, equilibrium chemistry, multicomponent or binary diffusion and a coupled line and continuum radiation calculations. Users manual and operating instructions for the computer programs listed in the report are included.
