Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion by Dan M. Goebel,Ira Katz Pdf

Throughout most of the twentieth century, electric propulsion was considered the technology of the future. Now, the future has arrived. This important new book explains the fundamentals of electric propulsion for spacecraft and describes in detail the physics and characteristics of the two major electric thrusters in use today, ion and Hall thrusters. The authors provide an introduction to plasma physics in order to allow readers to understand the models and derivations used in determining electric thruster performance. They then go on to present detailed explanations of: Thruster principles Ion thruster plasma generators and accelerator grids Hollow cathodes Hall thrusters Ion and Hall thruster plumes Flight ion and Hall thrusters Based largely on research and development performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and complemented with scores of tables, figures, homework problems, and references, Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion: Ion and Hall Thrusters is an indispensable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are preparing to enter the aerospace industry. It also serves as an equally valuable resource for professional engineers already at work in the field.

Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft by Pascal Thalin,Ravi Rajamani,Jean-Charles Mare,Sven Taubert Pdf

Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft was developed to explain what the electric aircraft stands for by offering an objective view of what can be expected from the giant strides in innovative architectures and technologies enabling aircraft electrification. Through tangible case studies, a deep insight is provided into this paradigm shift cutting across various aircraft segments – from General Aviation to Large Aircraft. Addressing design constraints and timelines foreseen to reach acceptable performance and maturity levels, Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft puts forward a general view of the progress made to date and what to expect in the years to come. Drawing from the expertise of four industry veterans, Pascal Thalin (editor), Ravi Rajamani, Jean-Charles Mare and Sven Taubert (contributors), it addresses futuristic approaches but does not depart too far from the operational down-to-earth realities of everyday business. Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft also offers analyses on how performance enhancements and fuel burn savings may bring more value for money as long as new electric technologies deliver on their promises.

Micro Newton Thruster Development by Franz Georg Hey Pdf

Franz Georg Hey summarises the development and testing of a micro-Newton thrust balance, as well as the downscaling of a High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thruster to micro-Newton thrust levels. The balance is tailored to fully characterise thruster candidates for the space based gravitational wave detector LISA. Thus, thrust noise measurements in sub-micro-Newton regime can be performed in the overall LISA bandwidth. The downscaled thruster can be operated down to serval tens of micro-Newton with a comparably high specific impulse. About the Author Franz Georg Hey works as mechanical, thermal, propulsion architect and technical lead of the micro‐Newton propulsion laboratory of Europe’s leading air and spacecraft manufacturer. The author is participating on major programmes for future satellite and electric propulsion development. The author’s research is performed in close collaboration with the Dresden University of Technology, the University of Bremen and the DLR Bremen.

Rarefied Gas Flows and Dynamic Plasma Phenomena in Electric Propulsion Systems by Juan Esteban Gomez Herrera Pdf

Zu den aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Raumfahrtindustrie zählen das stetig wachsende Interesse an miniaturisierten Satelliten sowie der immer häufigere Einsatz elektrischer Antriebssysteme zu allgemeinen Lage- und Bahnregelungszwecken. Die Entwicklung miniaturisierter Satelliten erfordert ihrerseits den Einsatz von Antriebssystemen, die sehr kleine und präzise zu steuernde Schubkräfte erzeugen. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen elektrische Triebwerke eine attraktive Option dar, die Antriebsanforderungen von Satelliten sowohl in herkömmlichen als auch in miniaturisierten Größen langfristig zu erfüllen. Bei miniaturisierten Satelliten sind die Schubanforderungen oft mit niedrigen Treibstoff-Massenstromwerten und verhältnismäßig kleinen geometrischen charakteristischen Längen verbunden. Dies kann zu verdünnten Gaszuständen innerhalb der Triebwerksdüsen führen. Wegen der hohen Komplexität der Plasmaphänomene innerhalb elektrischer Triebwerke sowie der typischerweise hohen Rechenanforderungen, die mit der Plasmamodellierung einhergehen, werden elektrische Antriebssysteme oft auf Basis empirischer Modelle und experimenteller Daten entwickelt. Der Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt auf den oben beschriebenen Herausforderungen und den dazugehörigen Forschungsfeldern: der Untersuchung verdünnter Gaszustände in transsonischen Strömungen sowie der Entwicklung numerischer Modellierungsansätze zur Beschreibung des Plasmaverhaltens innerhalb elektrischer Antriebssysteme. New trends regarding fundamental design approaches of orbital spacecraft have been developing in the space industry in recent years. They include an increased interest in miniaturized satellites as well as a general rise in the use of electric propulsion systems for orbit and attitude control. The successful implementation of miniaturized satellites requires the use of propulsion devices able to provide small and precise thrust and impulse levels. One technical solution able to meet the requirements of both standard-sized as well as miniaturized spacecraft involves the use of highly efficient and precise electric propulsion systems. In the particular case of miniaturized satellites, the propulsion requirements are often associated with low propellant mass flow rates and small characteristic geometrical lengths, potentially leading to the appearance of rarefied conditions inside the nozzles of the propulsion devices. Because of the high complexity of the plasma phenomena taking place inside such systems and the usually very high computational requirements associated with their numerical modelling, electric propulsion systems for space applications are usually designed based on empirical models and experimental data. The present work focuses on two key aspects outlined above: rarefied gas conditions in transonic micronozzle flows as well as the numerical modelling of plasma phenomena inside electric propulsion systems.

Astapenko, L.A. Bureyeva, V.S. Lisitsa, is devoted to a unified description of the atomic core polarization effects in the free-free, free-bound and bound-bound transitions of the charged particles in the field of multielectron atom. "Asymptotic Theory of Charge Exchange And Mobility Processes for Atomic Ions" by B.M. Smirnov reviews the process of resonant charge exchange, and also the transport processes (mobility and diffusion coefficients) for ions in parent gases which are determined by resonant electron transfer.
