Low costs and nonhazardous properties draw interest in application of hydrocarbon fuels in liquid rocket engines. Within this work, results of experiments on heat transfer, film cooling, transpiration cooled and convectively cooled fiber-reinforced ceramics conducted at a kerosene/oxygen rocket combustion chamber test facility are presented. The experimental data serves as the base for design and validation of simple-to-use models and correlations, which allow estimates of heat flux and cooling needs for the preliminary design of hydrocarbon fuel rocket engines.
