Stagnation-point shielding by melting and vaporization / by Leonard Roberts.
An approximate theoretical analysis is made of the shielding mechanism whereby the rate of heat transfer to the forward stagnation point of blunt bodies is reduced by melting and vaporization. General qualitative results are given and a numerical example, the melting and vaporization of ice, is pres...

| Summary: | An approximate theoretical analysis is made of the shielding mechanism whereby the rate of heat transfer to the forward stagnation point of blunt bodies is reduced by melting and vaporization. General qualitative results are given and a numerical example, the melting and vaporization of ice, is presented and discussed in detail. |
