Description
Summary:Paper presents the problem of heating the damaged insulation of an orbiter. Changes of the insulation’s thermal properties, made by adding conductive material of high value of specific heat in a form of a dope to the protective layer, were examined. The analysis was made using insulating material LI900 and beryllium dope. In the paper was investigated the effect of the dopant’s share on the temperature distribution on the aluminum surface. This influence was depended on the size of the damage, defined by parameter D, as well as a constant percentage volume fraction.
