1 Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments Impact of Aircraft Operation on Composite Airframe Temperatures AGATE-WP October 21 L. Scott Miller, Ph.D. Department of Aerospace Engineering National Institute for Aviation Research Wichita State University Wichita, KS 6726
2 ABSTRACT General Aviation (GA) aircraft airframe temperatures can reach extreme levels while parked on the ground, depending on ambient conditions (e.g., temperature and solar radiation) and airframe construction (e.g., material types, geometry, and paint color). The implications of this situation are extremely important to understand since composite aircraft structural limits are highly dependent on the airframe temperatures. Interestingly, aircraft operation (e.g., taxi, take-off, and climb) can have a favorable impact on strength, as a result of convective heat transfer or cooling. The THERMOD computer code, developed by Govindarajoo, predicts both steady state and transient airframe temperatures based on a comprehensive range of factors, including those mentioned above. Unfortunately, however, the THERMOD program has not been fully validated. Investigation objectives included experimentally measuring the impact of convective cooling and comparing the results to those predicted by the THERMOD code. Five simple, yet representative, composite test components were constructed and evaluated in wind tunnel tests. Temperature and flow speed time histories were recorded for each article. Based on the cases examined, results suggest that the boundary layer character has a noticeable (yet small) impact on the convective cooling, exterior surfaces in direct contact with the flow cool relatively quickly, thermally significant internal components are less affected by convection, and the THERMOD code predictions are conservative.

7 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE. A series of wind tunnel experiments were undertaken to identify convective cooling effects on representative aircraft composite airframe components. This report's specific intent is to describe the experimental investigation, document results, and provide a comparison of measured data with computer code predictions. 1.2 BACKGROUND. General Aviation (GA) aircraft airframe temperatures can reach extreme levels while parked on the ground, due to solar radiation and extreme ambient conditions. The implications of this situation are extremely important to understand since composite aircraft structural limits are highly dependent on temperature. Put simply, a very hot and thermally soaked composite airplane is potentially weaker. Unfortunately, it is commonly assumed that there is minimal airframe cooling prior to application of the highest expected air loads during flight. Any effect or tool that might reduce airframe temperatures or more accurately predict the true values offers the potential for aircraft weight, strength and capability improvements. Resultant airplane temperatures depend on a range of factors. For example, ambient weather conditions (e.g., temperature, solar radiation and reflections, and wind velocity), airframe composition, and construction (e.g., material types, geometry, windows, and paint color) all contribute to actual airframe temperatures and strength. As was mentioned before, any type of airframe cooling can have an obvious positive effect. Aircraft operation, for example, during taxi, take-off, and climb can have a favorable impact on strength, as a result of convective heat transfer or cooling. The THERMOD computer code, developed by Govindarajoo, predicts airframe temperatures based on a comprehensive range of factors, including those mentioned previously. 1 Both steady state and transient airframe temperature distributions are predicted. Unfortunately, however, the THERMOD program has not been fully validated. High confidence results from this and other analysis tools (e.g., NASTRAN) are necessary to assure that composite airframe designs are both safe and not over- or under-designed. 1.3 GOALS. The specific investigation goals were to: a. Conduct wind tunnel tests on representative composite airframe components subjected to potentially favorable convective cooling, as is typically experienced during aircraft operations. b. Present, for computer code validation purposes, initial conditions and temperature and wind-speed time-histories for each component. L.S. Miller, Wichita State University, October 21 1
8 c. Compare experimental and computer code results. d. Identify any other factors that notably influence thermal cooling effects and develop recommendations for follow-on efforts. 2.1 BASIC APPROACH. 2. METHOD Five wind tunnel models, built using various representative composite materials and construction methods, were heated until thermal equilibrium was established. The models were placed in a low-speed wind tunnel and the flow was initiated. Temperatures, at various locations, and wind tunnel flow conditions were then measured for a suitable time period as the models cooled. 2.2 TEST COMPONENTS. Prior to conducting the experiments, it was necessary to define a test component composition and geometry. A number of requirements and constraints were considered, including the following. a) Five different components of representative composite materials, construction, and sizes were desired. b) Each component had to be reasonably easy to build and install in the wind tunnel. c) The geometry must be relatively easy to define, for code validation purposes, and be representative of a typical aircraft structural element. Considering these factors a wing-like component was selected for construction and testing, as is illustrated in Figure 1. The test component is essentially a square sandwich panel with a "T- Beam" bonded along the centerline of one side, hence resembling a portion of a wing's skin and spar structure.

DIAGRAM SHOWING TEST PANEL DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION 2.3 APPARATUS, SENSORS AND PROCEDURE. A simple oven was used to heat each panel to about 8 C prior to testing. Once thermal equilibrium was obtained, the component was placed in an insulated box for transport to the wind tunnel. The panel was then quickly installed into a specialized fixture located in the wind tunnel test section and then the test began. An open return low-speed wind tunnel, with a 1.X1.3-meter test section, was utilized for all testing. After panel installation, data acquisition began and airflow speed was quickly ramped up to a value of about 35 m/s. Because it is an open return tunnel, air temperature was not controllable and varied with outside (i.e., atmospheric) weather conditions. The wind tunnel fixture, or cradle, served three prime functions. First, it provided an aerodynamic shape to hold the panel for testing. Second, it thermally isolated the test panel from the surroundings on all sides except one, which was intentionally exposed to the wind tunnel flow. Third, the cradle supported and enclosed measurement instrumentation and sensors. A schematic diagram and photograph of the fixture is shown in Figure 5. L.S.

14 X 1 & 4 As is shown in Figure 6, each panel fits flush within the sharp leading-edge flat plate upper surface of the fixture, thus creating a simple aerodynamic surface for testing. The cradle interior was thermally insulated and made as airtight as possible. A thin layer of felt (~3.175 mm thick) served as an insulator and gasket to minimize heat conduction or air leakage around the panel edges. A strip of cellophane tape further sealed the gap and the panel into the cradle. A traversing mechanism, mounted within the fixture, continuously oscillated six Infrared (IR) temperature sensors back-and-forth in the spanwise direction (see Figures 5-9). Measurements from these sensors, along with sensor position, defined three interior and three exterior temperature profiles. In addition to the IR-sensors, a thermocouple provided temperature data at the bond-line (between the panel and the T-Beam) inside each panel. Figure 7 identifies the location of each temperature profile. IR-sensors offer a flexible means to measure temperatures without direct contact. This ability was particularly attractive since it greatly simplified component construction and measurement capabilities. Each sensor (Cole-Parmer, P ), with an adjustable emissivity capability, utilizes a 1:1 distance-to-target-size ratio lens. As a result, given the sensor distance was about cm away from the surface, the measured temperature represented the spatial average over about a cm area. The variable emissivity feature proved valuable since it offered a means to both assure measurement accuracy and to identify each panel s emissivity value (needed input data for the THERMOD computer code).

16 FIGURE 9. FIXTURE INTERIOR AND TRAVERSE ARMS Prior to wind tunnel testing simple calibration surveys were performed, with each panel in thermal equilibrium. In each case, the signal conditioning electronics emissivity jumper was adjusted until the IR-sensor temperature readings matched the panel temperature as measured by a thermocouple. This activity served the functions of properly adjusting the IR-sensors and, simultaneously, identifying panel emissivity values. Figure 1 shows sample temperature surveys for one panel and all six sensors. Small variations are observed, despite the fact that the panel temperature is assumed constant everywhere. However, these differences appear reasonable and are likely explained given IR-sensor accuracy limitations (published as ± 2 C), natural deviations in the panel emissivities, and potentially real surface temperature variations. Table 5 summarizes the calibration survey results and gives a measure of the temperature measurement differences and uncertainties. Table 6 identifies the emissivity values and traverse locations for each test panel. Simple thermocouple sensors were utilized to measure the temperature within each panel and in the approaching airstream. As previously mentioned, a single thermocouple was installed during construction within each component on the bond-line between the panel bottom and the T-beam. Data from the traverse position encoder, IR-sensors, the bond-line thermocouple, an airflow thermocouple, and the wind tunnel airspeed system were continuously measured and recorded by a digital data acquisition system (DataQ DI Bit, 8-Channel Analog-to-Digital converter and a PC running WinDaq software). Data was archived to a hard disk and CD-ROM. L.S. Miller, Wichita State University, October 21 1

19 3.1 WIND TUNNEL TESTS. Experimental efforts fell into essentially three categories: calibration tests, wind-off, and wind-on runs. Each panel was run multiple times in each category and thousands of measurements were obtained as a function of time and location. The calibration tests included flow visualization, boundary layer characterization, and IR-sensor and panel calibration runs. Tufts (small yarn strings) were mounted on the test fixture to verify that no separated flow was present. In addition, an acoustic boundary layer probe was used to survey the fixture and panel to identify the boundary layer condition. These tests determined that the flow was turbulent over the panel, with transition typically occurring a short distance upstream. The IR-sensor calibration and panel emissivity identification results were discussed and presented in a previous section. Wind-off tunnel runs were performed to identify natural heat convection effects and to ascertain if heat conduction from the panels into the test fixture was occurring. Wind-on runs obviously focused on determining forced convection effects. Minimal temperature differences between the panel centerline and outboard portions were observed during tests, suggesting that there was minimal heat conduction occurring between the panel and test fixture. In light of these results, data presented in the following sections are for centerline locations only. Figure 11 illustrates some wind-on results for the Carbon 1 panel. Wind tunnel speed and IRsensor temperature time histories, for three exterior and three interior locations and the T-Beam bond-line, are shown. Results for the other panels parallel this data in basic trends and will be shown later in direct comparisons with THERMOD computer code predictions. Some basic experimental observations deserve note. The panel exterior cools more quickly than the interior, as one might expect given the airflow effects and the insulated fixture used to hold the panel. Also shown in Figure 11, the T-Beam represents a considerable thermal mass and it takes the longest to cool. In addition, as is classically associated with boundary layer flow development and convective heat transfer, the front panel stations consistently cool slightly more than the downstream portions. It is important to note, final exterior temperatures converge to below zero degrees for the specific case shown in Figure 11. These temperatures are within the expected sensor accuracy and properly reflect the weather conditions on the day the Carbon 1 panel was tested. However, they are at the published minimum acceptable sensor operating conditions. Simple testing showed that the sensors become slightly under-damped when exposed to sudden temperature changes at such low ambient conditions, as was the case when the tunnel started under these circumstances. The IR-sensors did behave properly as the run progressed. Fortunately, this is the only panel that was subjected to such atmospheric temperature extremes (the weather got better). L.S.

EXAMPLE OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA, SHOWING TEMPERATURE AND FLOW TIME HISTORIES 3.2 THERMOD/EXPERIMENT COMPARISONS. Panel composition, geometry, emissivity, and other critical information (shown in previous tables and figures in this report) and environmental conditions were supplied to the THERMOD computer code developer, Renganathan Govindarajoo. Only the first 6 seconds of actual experimental results were provided, so as not to bias code predictions. He generated thermal behavior predictions for direct comparison to the experimental data. Specific information on the THERMOD input parameters, assumptions, and other related information is included in a separate report prepared by Govindarajoo 2. L.S.

21 Figures illustrate some comparisons between THERMOD predictions and experimental measurements for all five test components during wind-off and wind-on conditions. These specific results are at a location near the panel center on the exterior and at the T-Beam bondline location. Some basic and universal differences surface in these plots. Specifically, THERMOD predictions show a slower initial rate of change and higher final temperatures. The variance is most pronounced at the end of wind-off runs with THERMOD predictions showing, respectively, external and T-Beam bond-line temperatures approximately 1-2 C and C higher. Wind-on external and T-Beam bond-line differences are smaller, being respectively 5-1 C and 5-2 C hotter. L.S. Miller, Wichita State University, October 21 15

27 Figures illustrate comparisons between THERMOD predictions and experimental measurements for all five test components, during wind-off and wind-on conditions, at locations away from the panel center. Experimental results are for front and aft locations (as shown in Figure 7), whereas the THERMOD modeling and predictions do not differentiate between upstream and downstream locations. Results are similar in many respects to those previously presented and discussed, with the notable exception that final temperature differences, between predictions and experiment, are now reduced and within about 1 C. This important observation underscores that the T-Beam s presence significantly affects the results, in both the experiment and THERMOD modeling. Significant internal, including longitudinal, heat conduction is be expected and should be predicted. L.S. Miller, Wichita State University, October 21 21

33 Based on the experiment results, the following conclusions are offered. 1. Aircraft exterior skins can be expected to cool relatively quickly as they begin operations and convective cooling takes place. Some internal components, like a large heavy spar or wellinsulated structure, can experience a notable delay in cooling. 2. Boundary layer condition and development, which is not modeled in the THERMOD computer code, is observed to have a slight effect on the cooling rate in the downstream direction. 3. The THERMOD computer code predictions tend, for the cases examined, to capture fundamental trends very well. However, the results appear to show slower cooling rates and higher final temperatures. Most significantly, the predictions are conservative (favoring safety). 4. The discrepancy between experiment and THERMOD code results appears to depend on the corresponding structural complexity, specifically that associated with the T-Beam s presence. Differences as low as 1 C and as high as 25 C were observed for, respectively, simple (i.e., skins and core) and more complex (i.e., skins, core, and T-Beam) portions of the test panels. These observations suggest that internal conduction may play a critical role in distributing heat in the longitudinal directions. 5. The current investigation was intentionally limited to and focused on convective cooling effects. Additional tests examining the impact of other factors that influence both airframe heating and cooling are warranted. 5.

Mike Murdin (now with Boeing), James Waltner, Tejas Mazmudar (7), Monal Merchant, and Yeow Ng excelled and played a critical role. Without everyone s contributions the project would have never happened or been completed. Thank you all very much. 6. REFERENCES L.S. Miller, Wichita State University, October 21 27
