Propulsive nozzle electrification
Abstract
The electrostatic potential of an operating propulsive nozzle, represented by an electrical current generator is determined. Qualitative and quantitative data are obtained on the rocket engine electrical capacitance charging mechanism accounting for the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of the ionized gaseous stream and the properties of the equilibrium wall-plasma system.
