摘要

This paper describes a nitrous oxide (N2O)/dimethyl ether (DME)-based bipropellant thruster in which the propellant gases are premixed before they enter the thrust chamber. Monopropellant (hydrazine) and bipropellant (nitrogen tetroxide (NTO)/hydrazine) thrusters are used in the onboard propulsion systems on a spacecraft and exhibit high performance. However, hydrazine and NTO are strongly toxic and exhibit high reactivity with respect to various materials. Further, their relatively high freezing points and low vapor pressures make it necessary to use heaters for the storage tanks and tubes and the pressurant feed systems. Hence, we propose an N2O/DME liquefied gas bipropellant thruster. The bipropellant is less toxic compared to hydrazine/NTO and has an adequate vapor pressure and low freezing point, which makes complex temperature management systems unnecessary. We tested a 0.4-N class prototype wherein N2O and DME were made to flow directly into the thrust chamber. The prototype exhibited a low characteristic velocity (C*) efficiency at 60%. Hence, a prototype with a propellant mixer was designed to enhance the C* efficiency and reduce the size of the thrust chamber. A coil-type mixer was developed to mix the fuel and oxidizer based on the secondary flow induced in curved tubes. Thrust measurements showed that this premixing-type prototype had a C* efficiency of 84.5% at an O/F ratio of 3.5. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
