内容記述 | The present evaluation of the results of arcjet engine lifetime testing attempts to deepen understanding of the electrode erosion process, with a view to its minimization. Attention is given to the compatibility of materials with N2H4, the dependence of electrode erosion on geometry and flow field, and the erosive effects associated with the arcjet power supply. Results are presented for thrusters employing either decomposed N2H4 or cold mixed gases, over a power range of 900 to 2000 W. |
