Thermal Analysis
Thermal analysis of the nose cone tip was conducted in Solidworks. The length of the nose cone tip was determined by
thermal analysis of the entire nosecone; a temperature profile was generated by setting the temperature at the very tip to
the expected stagnation temperature (INSERT TEMP) and inputting the material properties of the titanium we chose (INSERT TYPE).
The length of the nose cone tip was then chosen for maximum coverage of the hottest part of the nose cone, while minimizing mass.
