Heat transfer between a missile's combustion chamber and the warhead

Under higher temperatures the charge within a warhead will be subjected to physical and chemical changes, which will influence the security of the warhead launching process. In this paper the problem is studied by adopting finite difference method for the case of a rocket-powered missile. Temperature distribution tables are given through quadrature experiments, and the results fit the actual measured values very well. The results also show that to ensure the launching security of rocket-powered missiles with its warhead at critical temperature close to about 60°C, the designer can select appropriate heat insulation structural parameters.
