Sajjad Davari; Hadiseh Karimaei; Mohammad Reza Salimi; Hassan Naseh

Volume 16, Issue 2 , June 2023, , Pages 55-61

Abstract
  In this paper, the catalyst bed of a 10 N hydrazine monopropellant thruster was designed. The catalyst bed is including iridium granules, which is used to decompose the hydrazine in monopropellant thruster. Hydrazine must be decomposed almost completely in the catalytic chamber, because it is a carcinogenic ...  Read More
