Rocket Nozzles and Film Cooling
1:33:58 - 1:39:10 (05:11)
This podcast episode talks about the concept of film cooling in rocket nozzles, which involves piping cooler gas into the nozzle to create a boundary layer against the hotter combustion chamber gas for better efficiency. It also discusses the challenges associated with designing rocket nozzles for space launch vehicles.
