Thermal conductivities determined from engineering model used to predict accurately thermal responses of multicomponent insulation on spacecraft. Types of insulation studied include such composite parts as alumina-enhanced thermal barrier backed by low-density fibrous refractory material. Internal responses of various types of multicomponent insulation to aerothermodynamic heating calculated with help of computer program that implements engineering model for thermal conductivity. Transfer of heat by internal radiation plays major role in responses of fibrous materials at high temperatures and incorporated into model and program. Used in future spacecraft and exposed during reentry and aerobraking maneuvers in outer atmosphere to environments even harsher than that of Space Shuttle.
