This work examines the influence of changing RLC circuit characteristics on the impulse bit in a coaxial ablative pulsed plasma thruster. Calculations were performed using a differential equation for electric oscillations. During these calculations, an acceptable range for initial voltages was determined for a stored energy of 9 J. This range was identified by imposing specific conditions on the damping factor and resonant frequency. Additionally, it was revealed that for different pairs of capacitance and initial voltage in the ablative pulsed plasma thruster, the impulse bit reaches the same maximum value after certain resonant frequency or damping factor values are achieved.

摘要

This work examines the influence of changing RLC circuit characteristics on the impulse bit in a coaxial ablative pulsed plasma thruster. Calculations were performed using a differential equation for electric oscillations. During these calculations, an acceptable range for initial voltages was determined for a stored energy of 9 J. This range was identified by imposing specific conditions on the damping factor and resonant frequency. Additionally, it was revealed that for different pairs of capacitance and initial voltage in the ablative pulsed plasma thruster, the impulse bit reaches the same maximum value after certain resonant frequency or damping factor values are achieved.
