Abstract
The effectiveness of radiation as a structural cooling technique is examined for vehicles which are subject to large variations in heating over their surface. An analysis is made of the more significant effects of internal heat transfer within idealized structures, both with and without external insulation on areas of greatest aerodynamic heating intensity. Selective use of insulation leads to structural temperature reductions substantially greater than those obtained without insulation. The results are presented in nondimensional form, and numerical examples illustrate applications to hypersonic flight vehicles.
