What is it about?

The ratio of radiative heat flux to total flux is increased up to 30% in the cylindrical section, whereas it is less than 10% at the throat. The effect of radiation on the total amount of heat transferred to the chamber is remarkable when increasing the length of the cylindrical section and diameter, respectively.

Why is it important?

Effect of radiative heating may be large in a unique chmaber geometry. We also showed that Bartz formula for heat flux estimation is wrong.

Perspectives

When a chmaber is long, the imprtance of radiative heating shoud be included in cooling design. We should not use Bartz formula for right designand discussion.
