Krypton Ion Thruster Performance [PDF]
Preliminary data were obtained from a 30 cm ion thruster operating on krypton propellant over the input power range of 0.4 to 5.5 kW. The data presented are compared and contrasted to the data obtained with xenon propellant over the same input power ...

Addition of solid oxidizer increases liquid fuel specific impulse [PDF]
Adding soluble solid oxidizers to hydrazine and similar fuels makes them useful in low temperature bipropellant systems. These oxidizers improve the low specific impulse, high freezing point, low boiling point, and low density of the ...

Propellant sidefeed-short pulse discharge thruster studies [PDF]
The technique of feeding a solid propellant into the discharge from the sides of the discharge was evaluated. The thrust/power ratio could be significantly effected by the included angle of V-shaped propellants and by the electrode length.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Impulse Generation by an Open Shock Tube [PDF]
We perform experimental and numerical studies of a shock tube with an open end. The purpose is to investigate the impulse due to the exhaust of gases through the open end of the tube as a model for a partially filled detonation tube as used in pulse ...
