Question
During transient operation, the steel nozzle of a rocket engine must not exceed a maximum allowable operating
temperature of 1500 K when exposed to combustion gases characterized by a temperature of 2300 K and a convection
coefficient of 5000 W/m².K. To extend the duration of engine operation, it is proposed that a ceramic thermal barrier
coating (k = 10 W/m-K, α = 6 × 106 m²/s) be applied to the interior surface of the nozzle.
(a) If the ceramic coating is 10 mm thick and at an initial temperature of 300 K, obtain a conservative estimate of the
maximum allowable duration of engine operation, in s. The nozzle radius is much larger than the combined wall and
coating thickness.
(b) Determine the inner (x = 0) and outer(x = L) surface temperatures, in °C, of the coating at time t = 30 seconds.
