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

Effects of Geometrical Parameters of a Two-Sided Catalyst Bed on Flow and Thermal Fields of a Monopropellant Hydrazine Thruster

Mohammad Reza Salimi

Volume 15, Issue 1 , March 2022, , Pages 93-110

Abstract
  In present study, a hydrazine based monopropellant thruster decomposition chamber is simulated numerically. The catalyst bed separated in two sides, the particles size in upstream side is larger than those in downstream side. Effects of upstream side length and its particles diameter on catalyst bed ...  Read More
