The data presented in this data article were on the basis of the study reported in the research articles entitled “A novel quasi-one-dimensional model for performance estimation of a Vaporizing Liquid Microthruster” (De Giorgi and Fontanarosa, 2018). The reference study presented a numerical analysis of the performance of the Vaporizing Liquid Microthruster (VLM) experimentally investigated in the data article entitled “Performance evaluation and flow visualization of a MEMS based Vaporizing Liquid Microthruster” (Cen and Xu, 2010). For the purpose, a novel quasi one-dimensional model was proposed, and results were compared with the numerical predictions provided by 2D and 3D CFD computations.Due to the scarcity of experimental data concerning the flow characterization inside a Vaporizing Liquid Microthruster, the present Data in Brief aims to provide the entire dataset coming from the numerical predictions for benchmark purposes and comparisons with different numerical approach.
