Abstract:The object of the study in this work is pressure spikes in the accumulator tank of the xenon feed system for electric propulsion. The presence of significant pressure spikes in the accumulator tank of the feed system causes a change in the mass flow and, accordingly, a significant deterioration of the thruster parameters - thrust, specific impulse and efficiency. The problem that was solved in this work is to find ways to reduce pressure spikes while minimizing the volume of the accumulator tank without using … Show more
