Encyclopedia > Regenerative cooling

Regenerative cooling in rockets is where the propellant is passed through tubes around the combustion chamber or nozzle as the fuel is a good conductor of heat. The amount of heat is controlled by temperature difference, heat transfer coefficient and the velocity of the internal flow in the chamber or the nozzle. The fuel is then fed into a special gas generator or injected into the main combustion chamber. A Redstone rocket, part of the Mercury program The traditional definition of a rocket is a vehicle, missile or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving exhaust gas from within a rocket engine. ... A combustion chamber is part of an engine in which fuel is burned. ...

Regenerative cooling is the most widely used method of cooling a combustion chamber and is accomplished by flowing high-velocity coolant over the back side of the chamber hot gas wall to convectively cool the hot gas liner.
For regenerative cooling, it is important that the material have high strength at elevated temperatures and, also, have a high thermal conductivity.
The most important parameters involved in the design of the hot gas wall on a regeneratively cooled chamber are the thermal conductivity of the material, the strength of the material at elevated temperatures, the material maximum operating temperature and the coolant passage dimensions.
