Thus, the study of space vehicles, and their design complexities, is necessary. One of the main problems in the development of rockets is the temperature, which reaches very high values in the combustion chamber of the rocket engine, which ends up creating a high temperature gradient and, consequently, facilitating the heat transmission to parts of the fuselage, which may not tolerate marked heating due to their material. In this work, numerical methods was used to thermally analyze the heat transfer of a class J engine to the fuselage, built in composite, of a 1500 m apogee academic rocket. A maximum temperature of 80°C was established in the walls of the body tube, due to the Glass Transition Temperature, so that the objective was to find, through the simulation of several insulation configurations, the configuration that would best maintain the structural integrity of the rocket.

It was concluded that the best configuration was the use of timber as structural material and fiberglass as insulator. 2018-12-18T11:22:33Z 2021-10-05T16:01:14Z 2018-12-18T11:22:33Z 2021-10-05T16:01:14Z 2018-12-12 bachelorThesis 20170009140 MAIA, Felipe Pinheiro.
