This paper presents the first results of a study of transpiration cooling in a segmented ceramic matrix
composite specimen resembling a subscale rocket engine combustion chamber. The tests were conducted with a hot air mainstream flow with a temperature of Thg = 800 K, and cold air as coolant. For
the first experiments, a variation of the blowing ratio of F = 0-0.75% was investigated, with constant
blowing over all segments. The increase of cooling efficiency with rising blowing ratio is demonstrated.
For the nozzle contoured segment, a significant increase of the wall temperature could be determined
for low blowing ratios, which can be attributed to cross-flows caused by the higher pressure gradient in
the expansion section.
