Abstract
A mathematical model of the process of the unsteady conjugate heat transfer of a thermionic thermal protection system in a supersonic flow around a composite shell is formulated and investigated. Estimates of the effect of evaporation (emission) of electrons from the emitter surface on the reduction of temperature of the composite shell of the protection system were obtained. The effect of different angles of attack on the modes of heat transfer in a multi-element thermionic thermal protection system was examined. Qualitative agreement of calculation results with known data is obtained.
