Neutral Flow Evolution in a Six-Kilowatt Hall Thruster
Laser-induced fluorescence velocimetry measurements obtained from the interior of a 6-kW Hall thruster using the Xe I 6s 3=2 02 ! 6p 3=2 2 transition at 823.4 nm (vacuum) and the Xe I 6s0 1=2 01 ! 6p0 3=2 2 transition at 834.9 nm (vacuum) are presented. The thruster is operated under seven conditions, with discharge voltages ranging from 150 to 600 V and anode mass flow rates ranging from 10 to...
متن کاملHall-effect Thruster Channel Surface Properties Investigation
Surface properties of Hall-effect thruster channel walls play an important role in the performance and lifetime of the device. Physical models of near-wall effects are beginning to be incorporated into thruster simulations, and these models must account for evolution of channel surface properties due to thruster operation. Results from this study show differences in boron nitride channel surfac...
متن کاملCharacterization of Hall effect thruster propellant distributors with flame visualization.
A novel method for the characterization and qualification of Hall effect thruster propellant distributors is presented. A quantitative measurement of the azimuthal number density uniformity, a metric which impacts propellant utilization, is obtained from photographs of a premixed flame anchored on the exit plane of the propellant distributor. The technique is demonstrated for three propellant d...
متن کاملPlasma flow and plasma–wall transition in Hall thruster channel
In this paper a model of the quasineutral plasma and the transition between the plasma and the dielectric wall in a Hall thruster channel is developed. The plasma is considered using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic approximation while the sheath in front of the dielectric surface is considered to be one dimensional and collisionless. The dielectric wall effect is taken into account by introducin...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Finite Element-Based Hall-Thruster Model
This paper aims to characterize the Hall-thruster plasmadynamics in the framework of multi uidmodel. Effect of the ionization and the recombination has been included in the present model. Based on the experimental data, a third-order polynomial in electron temperature is used to calculate the ionization rate. The neutral dynamics is included only through the neutral continuity equation in the ...
