Title: Effect of Solute Mixing in the Liquid Propellant of a Pulsed Plasma Thruster Authors:
Sodium chloride or ammonia was dissolved in the water propellant of pulsed plasma thrusters to improve the performance. Pulsed plasma thrusters using liquid propellant utilize water as attractive alternative instead of Teflon. Water propellant enables the controlling propellant mass flow and leads high specific impulse. However, liquid propellant pulsed plasma thrusters have larger plasma resis...
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 کاملIodine Hall Thruster Propellant Feed System for a CubeSat
THERE has been significant work recently in the development of iodine-fed Hall thrusters for in-space propulsion applications.1 The use of iodine as a propellant provides many advantages over present xenon-gas-fed Hall thruster systems. Iodine is a solid at ambient temperature (no pressurization required) and has no special handling requirements, making it safe for secondary flight opportunitie...
متن کاملPressurized Xenon Propellant Management System for the CubeSat Ambipolar Thruster
The CubeSat Ambipolar Thruster (CAT) is nominally designed to operate on inert gas propellants with a target ΔV capability of greater than 1000 m/s. The design process for a prototype pressurized inert gas propellant feed system capable of storing enough propellant to meet this target and of delivering propellant at the flow rates of 5 15 sccm of xenon and pressures of 1 10 mbar required by CAT...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Stability Analysis of a Liquid Propellant Combustor
A theoretical study analyzing three-dimensional combustion acoustic instabilities in a liquid propellant rocket engine combustor has been conducted. A linear theory based on Crocco’s pressure sensitive time lag model is used. To apply this theory the combustor is divided into two main components, including the combustion chamber and the converging part of the nozzle. The assumption of concentra...
