Effects of the Wall Temperature on Rarefied Gas Flows and Heat Transfer in a Micro-Nozzle

Micromachines, 2023
When the satellite is in orbit, the thruster will experience drastic temperature changes (100–1000 K) under solar radiation, which will affect the rarefied gas flow state in the micro-nozzle structure of the cold gas micro-thruster.
