Abstract
A numerical investigation is adopted for two dimensional thermal analysis of rocket thrust chamber wall
(RL10), employing finite difference model with iterative scheme (implemented under relaxation factor of
0.9 for convergence) to compute temperature distribution within thrust chamber wall (which is composed
of Nickel and Copper layers). The analysis is conducted for different boundary conditions: only
convection boundary conditions then combined radiation, convection boundary conditions also for
different aspect ratio (AR) of cooling channel. The results show that Utilizing cooling channels of high
aspect ratio leads to decrease in temperature variation across thrust chamber wall, while no effects on heat
transferred to the coolant is indicated. The radiation has a considerable effect on the computed wall
temperature values.
