Ammonium dinitramide(ADN)based liquid monopropellants have been identified as environmentally benign substitutes for hydrazine monopropellant.However,new catalysts are to be developed for making ADN monopropellants co...
The present study proposes ethanol-nitromethane mixture as a safe, storable, andlow toxic monopropellant for a gas generator cycle air turbo ramjet engine and evaluates itspropulsion performance. The present study pro...
Nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)is a green propellant with excellent application prospects.A subNewton N_(2)O monopropellant thruster with inner-heater and a N_(2)O self-pressurization stable supply system with regenerative heat...
