Numerical Investigation of Pyrolytic Coking and Its Effects on Heat Transfer of RP-3

Hydrocarbon fuels are extensively employed as coolants in the regenerative cooling systems of scramjet engines. However, the pyrolytic coking of hydrocarbon fuels at high temperatures introduces complex adverse effects on the flow and cooling processes. In this study, a numerical model was developed...
