Thermal-Fluid Analysis of a Lithium Vaporizer for a High Power Magnetoplasmadynamic Thruster
A lithium vaporizer for a high-power magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster is modeled using a parallel approach. A one-dimensional, thermal-resistive network is developed and used to calculate the required vaporizer length and power as a function of various parameters. After comparing results predic...
