Heat and mass transfer processes at the most heat-stressed areas of the surface of the descent module

The study presents the results of the research of heat and heat exchange processes on the heat-stressed elements of the structure of an advanced TsAGI descent vehicle. The studies were carried out using a mathematical model based on solving discrete analogs of continuum mechanics equations. Conclusions were drawn about the correctness of the model and the dependence of the intensity of heat and mass transfer processes on the most heatstressed sections of the apparatus surface on its geometry and the catalytic activity of the surface.
