TRANSIENT THERMAL RESPONSE
One-Dimensional Numerical Analysis of the Transient Thermal Response of Multilayer Insulative Systems
This program performs a one-dimensional numerical analysis of the transient thermal response of multi-layer insulative systems. The analysis can determine the temperature distribution through a system consisting of from one to four layers, one of which can be an air gap. Concentrated heat sinks at any interface can be included. The computer program based on the analysis will determine the thickness of a specified layer that will satisfy a temperature limit criterion at any point in the insulative system. The program will also automatically calculate the thickness at several points on a system and determine the total system mass. This program was developed as a tool for designing thermal protection systems for highspeed aerospace vehicles but could be adapted to many areas of industry involved in thermal insulation systems.
