Initial research on thermal decomposition of 98% concentrated hydrogen peroxide in thruster-like conditions
The current research is focused on investigating the possibility of harnessing the thermal decomposition of highly concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide 98% i.e., utilizing a decomposition process initiated and maintained solely by a temperature source for low thrust propulsion system applications. This ea...

| description | The current research is focused on investigating the possibility of harnessing the thermal decomposition of highly concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide 98% i.e., utilizing a decomposition process initiated and maintained solely by a temperature source for low thrust propulsion system applications. This early study investigates the influence of the initial temperature of the heater, power input condition and chamber pressure on the behaviour and stability of the prototype thruster. While it is still too early to conclude on the practicality of the research it demonstrates that a stable configuration with good transient start-ups times is indeed achievable. |
