Electric Thruster Plume Simulation: Application to Mpd and Feep Thrusters
This paper describes the physical and numerical models of the two new codes which are under developing phase at Alta. 2d3vPICFES is bi-dimensional axial-symmetric numerical code able to compute plasma flow in a MPD thrusters with applied magnetic field, while 3dBEMPIC is a three dimensional numerical code able to compute the ion plume of FEEP thrusters. 2d3vPICFES uses a Particle-In-Cell techni...
متن کاملEffect of Current Density and Surface Preparation of Steel on Morphology and Texture of Zinc Electrodeposits
On electropolished steel at low current densities, morphology and texture of electrodeposited zinc were investigated. Zinc coating is consisted of hexagonal crystallites laid on each other to produce packets. These packets are of different sizes and are stacked in different orientations to construct a homogeneous coating on steel substrate. This coating does not have texture, i.e., it has a ran...

متن کامل“Electrodeless” Plasma Cathode for Neutralization of Ion Thrusters
Significant progress has been made in the characterization of the necessary parameters required to create an effective Radio Frequency (RF) plasma based electron source. Such a device has the promise of comparable current densities to and longer operational lifetimes than hollow cathodes. The operational lifetime of hollow cathodes is ultimately limited by cathode deterioration. RF sources prov...
متن کاملHigh Current Density Pulsed Cathode Experiments at Slac
A 1.9 microperveance beam diode has been constructed to test high current density cathodes for use in klystrons. Several standard and specially coated dispenser cathodes are being tested. Results of tests to date show average cathode current densities in excess of 25 amps/cm, and maximum electric field gradients of more than 450 kV/ cm. for pulses of the order of 1 /'sec.
