On some conditions for detonation initiation downstream of a perforated plate

Correction thruster development based on high-current surface discharge in vacuum

“…Experimental investigations of a nanosecond surfacedischarge (NSD), i.e., SD formed by high-voltage impulses of nanosecond duration [8,9,11,12], indicated that under Contents lists available at ScienceDirect journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/actaastro certain conditions, a NSD plasma is an intensive source of soft X-rays via generation of "runaway" electrons. The "runaway" effect occurs if the tangential component of the electric field intensity in a growing NSD plasma exceeds the critical value (Е cr , see Table 1), which can be found from the energy balance of an electron moving in the electric field [10].…”

Safety issues of high-concentrated hydrogen peroxide production used as rocket propellant

“…Their values were obtained in accordance with standard procedures and are listed in Refs. [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Mars transportation vehicle concept

“…Pulse detonation engines [4,5] could be used much more successfully as they do not need turbines and provide higher specific impulse. However, periodical detonation onset becomes important [6]. Besides, using metal as fuel and CO 2 as an oxidant brings the problem of detonation onset and control in such a two-phase system.…”
