2. Theoretical studies of plasma detachment in the VASIMR magnetic nozzle
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysikSammanfattning : In this thesis, theoretical studies are conducted to see whether plasma will detach from the magnetic field lines of the VASIMR thruster, and if so, at which location detachment takes place. A magnetic field similar to the field of the VASIMR VF-24 engine [1] is used and ions of different speed and massare sent from various radial positions in the exhaust. LÄS MER
