Numerical comparison of exhaust plume flow behaviors of small monopropellant and bipropellant thrusters.

In general, a space propulsion system has a crucial role in the normal mission operations of a spacecraft. Depending on the types and number of propellants, a monopropellant and a bipropellant thrusters are mostly utilized for low thrust liquid rocket engines. As the plume gas flow exhausted from th...
