Development of a Global Model for the Analysis of Plasma in an Atmosphere-Breathing Cathode-Less Thruster

This study investigates the preliminary propulsive performances of a cathode-less plasma thruster with air as its propellant. The analysis is carried out through a global model and simulates a thruster over a power range of 0 to 50 W. The developed code considers a set of 177 chemical reactions invo...
