Prescribed wall heating in a rarefied converging-diverging micro-nozzle increases specific impulse from 156 s to 201 s by thermal and pressure thrust gains that exceed the mass-flow penalty from increased blockage.

Prescribed Wall-Heat-Flux Control of Blockage and Impulse in a Rarefied Micro-Nozzle
Prescribed wall heating in a rarefied converging-diverging micro-nozzle increases specific impulse from 156 s to 201 s by thermal and pressure thrust gains that exceed the mass-flow penalty from increased blockage.

On the Applicability of the Gas-Kinetic Scheme with Kinetic Boundary Conditions for Near-Continuum Hypersonic Flows
GKS with kinetic boundary conditions produces aerodynamic predictions for near-continuum hypersonic flows that match experiments and DSMC data more closely than Navier-Stokes solvers using Maxwell slip conditions.
