Abstract:Ignition delay is one of the most important parameters characterising hypergolic propellants. This parameter has a strong im-pact on thruster operation, especially during the cold start. Ignition delay influences the intensity of pressure rise and its peak values during the start of a thruster. High-pressure levels cause stress inside the chamber wall, which directly affects durability and safety. One of two measurement techniques is usually chosen to determine the ignition delay: visual and pressure-based met… Show more
