Optimization procedure for electric propulsion engines
This thesis addresses the optimization of all types of space electrical propulsion thrusters. From the Langmuir-Irving payload mass fraction formulation, a "dual-optimum" solution is defined, yielding a minimum overall mass for a specified payload consistent with minimum transfer time. Thi...
