A coaxial pulsed plasma thruster using chemical propellants

Pulsed plasma thrusters (PPTs) have the advantages of mechanical simplicity and robustness compared to other electric propulsion systems. However the thrust power ratio of PPTs is lower than that of other electric propulsion systems. To enhance the thrust performance of the PPT, we propose to use several combustible solid chemicals as coaxial PPT propellants to replace Teflon^® (Polytetrafluoroethylene: PTFE). With the design, the force obtained thermodynamically is expected to augment the PPT thrust power ratio with the help of the chemical energy contained in the propellants. As a result, the thrust power ratio is increased using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene-ammonium perchlorate (HTPB-AP)-based propellants compared to the case of ordinary Teflon. The discharge current and voltage waveform does not change even when the propellant is changed. These findings could indicate that the impulse bits by gasdynamic contribution are lager in the case of chemical solid propellants than in the case of Teflon.     

Experimental investigation on no-vent fill process using tetrafluoromethane (CF4)

This paper investigates the transfer of liquid cryogens using a no-vent fill (NVF) process experimentally to identify the dominant NVF parameters. The experimental apparatus has been fabricated with extensive instrumentations to precisely study the effects of each NVF parameter. Liquid tetrafluoromethane (CF₄) is selected as the working fluid due to its similar molecular structures and similar normal boiling point and triple point with liquid methane which has been considered as an attractive future cryogenic propellant. The experimental results show that the initial receiver tank wall temperature and the incoming liquid temperature are the primary factors that characterize the (non-equilibrium) thermodynamic state at the start of a NVF transfer. The supply pressure is also critical as it indicates the ability to condense vapor in the receiver tank. A non-dimensional map based on energy balance is proposed to find acceptable initial conditions of the filling volume at the desired final tank pressure. The non-dimensional map shows good agreement with the NVF data not only in this paper but also in the previous research.     

Estimation of the Ballistic Effectiveness of3,4-and3,5-Dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1H-Pyrazoles as Oxidizers for Composite Solid Propellants

The experimental values of the enthalpy of formation of two isomeric 3,4-and 3,5-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1H-pyrazoles have been obtained(261.5±5.0and 246.4±6.7kJ/mol for crystalline 3,4-and 3,5-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1H-pyrazoles,respectively).The ballistic effectiveness of these potential oxidizers in composite solid propellants was studied.It is shown that these two oxidizers may be successfully applied in metal-free compositions or with a small content of metal.For the bottom stage 3,4-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1H-pyrazole is a bit better than 3,5-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1H-pyrazole,for the upper stage the both oxidizers show the equal ballistic parameters.These oxidizers allow to create metal-free solid composite propellants with the binder percentage not lower than 19%(volume fraction),with I3spequal to 256.5-257.0sat density equal to 1.72-1.74g/cm~3.

Determination of Viscoelastic Poisson’s Ratio of Solid Propellants using an Accuracy‐enhanced 2D Digital Image Correlation Technique

Poisson’s ratio plays a significant role in the structural response of solid propellants, which is, in essence, a nearly incompressible viscoelastic material. Numerical models that assume a constant Poisson’s ratio generally cannot achieve good results, thus requiring an accurate knowledge of time‐dependent viscoelastic Poisson’s ratio of solid propellants. In this work, accurate determination of tensile strains and viscoelastic Poisson’s ratio of solid propellants using an accuracy‐enhanced 2D digital image correlation (DIC) technique is described. To achieve high‐accuracy measurement, great improvements were made to regular 2D‐DIC technique to maximally eliminate the errors caused by non‐ideal loading conditions, specimen deformation and lens distortion. Rigid body translation tests with zero strain state are first performed to verify the accuracy of the proposed DIC technique. Then application of the proposed technique for determining the time‐varying viscoelastic Poisson’s ratios of solid propellants in stress relaxation tests are demonstrated. The results reveal that, by adequately eliminating the measurement errors associated with the unavoidable out‐of‐plane displacements and lens distortion, the present DIC technique can be used for precise determination of viscoelastic Poisson’s ratio of solid propellants, which is found to be increasing nonlinearly to the incompressible value of 0.50 as time increases.

高氯酸铵含量对高铝富燃料推进剂中重要组分高氯酸铵/铝 一次燃烧性能和铝粉团聚的影响

采用CO2激光点火装置联合高速摄影系统及扫描电子显微镜等凝聚相燃烧产物分析技术,研究了高氯酸铵(AP)含量对高Al富燃料推进剂中重要组分AP/Al一次燃烧过程中燃烧现象、引燃时间、燃烧扩散时间、燃尽时间、燃烧效率、颗粒团聚及凝聚相燃烧产物的表面形貌、粒径及其分布的影响。结果表明,各AP/Al混合粉体的燃烧过程均可分为表面引燃、燃烧扩散和火焰熄灭3个阶段,但各样品在不同燃烧阶段的燃烧现象存在明显差异。AP含量由10wt%增至30wt%,样品燃烧剧烈程度增强,燃烧过程中固相颗粒的溅射现象越加明显;在火焰熄灭阶段,各样品燃烧由以停留在样品燃面处的燃烧为主逐渐变为以溅射颗粒的燃烧为主,且随反应进行,燃面已燃固相颗粒最先熄灭,各样品表面引燃时间、燃烧扩散时间、燃烧持续时间均缩短,即燃烧反应速率逐渐加快。在AP/Al混合物中,铝粉的燃烧效率、凝聚相燃烧产物粒度及其团聚程度随AP含量增加而增加。
