Hall-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 کاملResearch on Optimization of Onboard Magnetic Diagnostics System of Hall Thruster Plasma IEPC - 2005 - 140
The paper is devoted to the development of Hall thruster plasma non-contact magnetic diagnostics methods applicable for onboard diagnostics system. The approach to Hall current structure determination using steady-state magnetic measurements proposed in our previous work is further developed. The approach is based on inverse magnetostatic problem solution using two-dimensional constrained regul...
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 کاملEnergy Analysis of a Hall Thruster Cluster
In an effort to understand the technical issues related to using a cluster of Hall effect thrusters to accomplish missions requiring very high-power electric propulsion systems, testing of four Busek BHT-200-X3 thrusters has begun at both the Air Force Research Laboratory and the University of Michigan. Two separate instruments, the parallel-plate electrostatic energy analyzer and the retarding...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of a Hall thruster plasma
The dynamics of the Hall thruster is investigated numerically in the framework of a one-dimensional, multifluid macroscopic description of a partially ionized xenon plasma using finite element formulation. The model includes neutral dynamics, inelastic processes, and plasma–wall interaction. Owing to disparate temporal scales, ions and neutrals have been described by set of time-dependent equat...
