Heat transfer was mcasured for conducting (copper) and nonconducting (teflon) models in a Mach 4.6 low-density Ar plasma in the absence and presence of magnetic fields up to 0.5 Telsa. Results show the importance of local wall currents both with and without magnetic field. For the conducting model, an electron flux entering the surface increased the stagnation-region heat flux compared to the nonconducting model. For the nonconducting model, theory predicts well the heat transfer for zero field but fails to predict the slight increase at the stagnation region with high magnetic field. (DLC)
