Abstract
The results of investigating the physical and chemical processes in the wall boundary layer on graphite specimens in a nitrogen flow are reported. The effect of the catalytic wall on the heat flux is considered. The emphasis is on analyzing the distribution of the chemical species concentrations across the boundary layer based on a detailed consideration of the mechanism of heterogeneous catalytic reactions under the surface mass flux conditions. The distributions of the chemical species concentrations over the boundary layer thickness at the stagnation point of a blunted graphite body for a particular flight path segment are presented.
