1 Lecture #1: Stagnation Point Heating 2 Background The kinetic energy of an entry vehicle is dissipated by transformation into thermal energy (heat) as the entry system decelerates The magnitude of this thermal energy is so large that if all of this energy were transferred to the entry system it would be severely damaged and likely vaporize Harvey Allen - the blunt body concept Only a small fraction of this thermal energy is transferred to the entry system The thermal transfer fraction is dependant on vehicle shape, size, aerodynamic regime and velocity Near peak Heating , 1% to 5% of the total thermal energy is transferred to the entry system Example.
