Steady State Behavior of Hydrazine Catalytic Thrusters.
Abstract
A theoretical analysis is described by means of which temperatures and concentrations are calculated along a chamber where hydrazine decomposes catalytically. The corresponding results have to be calculated numerically. A single nondimensional parameter seems to be the only one needed to describe the main characteristics of the problem. Of particular interest is the results that the maximum temperature is reached at a certain distance that expressed in non-dimensional variables seems to vary little in a wide range of operating conditions, this allows to find a close expression for the value of this distance. Comparisons have been carried out with the results of some experiments made at INTA.
