Numerical Simulation of Interaction between Hall Thruster CEX Ions and SMART‐1 Spacecraft
The interaction between the plume of Hall thruster and the surface of the SMART‐1 spacecraft is investigated by developing a three‐dimensional IFE‐PIC‐MCC code, with the emphasis on the effect of the disturbance force and thermal loading caused by charge exchange ions (CEX) impingement on the surface of the spacecraft.

Thermochemical Analysis of Hypergolic Propellants Based on Triethylaluminum/Nitrous Oxide
The vacuum specific impulse, density vacuum specific impulse, and solid exhaust products were examined for several propellant formulations based on the pyrophoric material triethylaluminum (TEA) using CEA thermodynamics code. Evaluation of TEA neat and mixed with hydrocarbon fuels with LOX, N2O, N2O4, liquefied air, and HNO3 were performed at ...

Development of NMP‐001, A Nitromethane‐Based Green Propellant
ABSTRACT This paper discusses the development of a model monopropellant that is aimed at exploring the applicability of nitromethane‐based propellants as an alternative to hydrazine. This approach addresses the challenges faced by HAN‐, ADN‐based propulsion by being more cost‐effective while providing similar performance figures.

Advances in Hypergolic Propellants: Ignition, Hydrazine, and Hydrogen Peroxide Research
A review of the literature pertaining to hypergolic fuel systems, particularly using hydrazine or its derivatives and hydrogen peroxide, has been conducted. It has been shown that a large effort has been made towards minimizing the risks involved with the use of a toxic propellant such as the hydrazine.

In solid combustion, a planar traveling flame wave may lose stability to oscillatory modes in certain parameter regimes. The loss of stability is commonly achieved through a Hopf bifurcation in which linearly unstable modes grow to fixed amplitudes. This situation has been well studied in models of strictly condensed combustion and has been observed ...
