Abstract
Radiation Heat Transfer in the Fuel of Nuclear Rocket
Highlights
Nuclear power propulsion for space applications is essential for long term high payload missions
National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) explored the use of these hydrogen propelled nuclear rockets with extensive research and testing during the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application (NERVA) program [2]
To compound a lack in emissivity data for each specific material used in these nuclear reactor designs, the corrosion taking place in Pewee involves multiple material face exposure to hydrogen gas
Summary
Nuclear power propulsion for space applications is essential for long term high payload missions. To compound a lack in emissivity data for each specific material used in these nuclear reactor designs, the corrosion taking place in Pewee involves multiple material face exposure to hydrogen gas. In order to correlate the Pewee fuel element mass loss effects (or corrosion effects) on emissivity additional data is provided here for comparison.
