AB - A model is developed for analyzing the thermal response of the heat-resistant  layer composed of high silica fiber reinforced phenolic matrix  composites(SiO2/P) and aluminum, in which pyrolysis and phase transitions are  exsited, such as melt, vaporization and sublimation. Based on this model, the  thermal response of the heat-resistant layer with different SiO2/P thickness  is calculated under a heat flux by using FORTRAN codes. As indicated in the  results, the slope of temperature gets a sudden decline at the pyrolysis  interface, which is due to the latent heat of pyrolysis; the thickness of  heat-resistant layer has little influence on the heating-surface temperature,  however, the back temperature may increase with the decreasing thickness; and  the thermal conductivity of carbonized layer is very important to thermal  response.
