Theoretical Modeling and Parameter Analysis of Micro-Pulsed Plasma Thruster

Theoretical Modeling and Parameter Analysis of Micro-Pulsed Plasma Thruster

In this paper, a new numerical modeling method that combines a modified electromechanical model with a Teflon ablation model is proposed to simulate the working process of micro-pulsed plasma thruster (μPPT). The ablation mass accumulation during the discharge process and the non-Fourier effe...
