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.
