The thrust density at the highest conditions are shown to be six (xenon) and eight (krypton) times higher than the lowest current condition. A maximum in anode efficiency as a function of discharge current is observed for both gases. This is attributed to a trade between mass utilization, which increases to unity with current, and beam utilization, which gradually decreases with current. The dependence of these efficiency modes on current is discussed in the context of a series of first-principles scaling laws. The observation that efficiency only moderately decreases with current density is examined in the context of high-power electric propulsion development.</p>","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140833912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are obtained under inflow conditions of a 2.9 MPa stagnation pressure, 1900 K stagnation temperature, and a Mach number of 3.0. The air throttling position is 240 mm downstream of the combustor entrance, with an air throttling flow rate (ratio of air throttling mass flux to inflow mass flux) of 38% and a fuel equivalence ratio of 0.37. Combustion is relatively stable when air throttling is applied and is dominated by auto-ignition. When air throttling is turned off, the combustion becomes more unsteady and is dominated by flame propagation. At the same time, the combustion mode changes, and the frequency of the combustion mode transition is 286 Hz. Schlieren images and one-dimension analysis show that the effect of air throttling is the coupling of cold throat (aerodynamic throat) and hot throat (thermal throat). The proper orthogonal decomposition and dynamic mode decomposition analysis present that when air throttling is applied or removed, the frequencies of injector–flame feedback are almost the same, while the frequencies of shock–flame feedback exhibit considerable variation, which is caused by the location of the precombustion shock affected by air throttling.</p>","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140567736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We solve the reactive low-Mach-number equations in the gas phase with complete coupling to the solid phase. The model takes into account thermal expansion and deformation in the solid phase by using a hypoelastic law in the quasi-static limit. To account for morphology, we select two different propellant formulations with different particle size distributions and present the results as a function of pressure. The thermomechanical behavior is accessed by examining quantities such as strain and stress in the propellant as a function of pressure and propellant morphology. We also show that temperature and velocity fluctuations exist in the far field above the propellant surface and that these fluctuations can be significant. To better understand the nature of these fluctuations, we vary the pressure and make relevant plots of normal velocity and temperature probability density functions, as well as time autocorrelations. Such descriptions are necessary to account for the coupling between the mesoscale and the macroscale, where the fluctuations at the mesoscale can affect quantities at the macroscale, such as head-end pressure, trigger parietal vortex shedding, and aeroacoustics.</p>","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140567985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
