Abstract

Experiments were carried out in hypersonic shock tunnel in Defence Research and Directorate Laboratory at hypersonic Mach number of 7.25 using an 11.37° apex-angle blunt cone model. Heat flux measurement was carried out on cone model at different angles of attack with angle of rotation ϕ = 0° to 360° in steps of 45° with vacuum sputtered platinum thin film sensors. The measured experimental value of heat transfer data at stagnation point was compared with theoretical value estimated Fay and Riddell correlation. As angle of rotation was increased from ϕ = 0° to ϕ = 180°, the shock wave became closer to model surface due to high density ratio across the shock wave and consequently heat transfer rate became higher.
