The increase in anode-to-cathode radius ratio improves the thrust performance, but can simultaneously raise the temperature locally at the anode exit edge and the cathode tip due to the concentration of the discharge current and/or the insufficient heat removal. It is suggested, however, that a thruster without electrode melting should be realizable even at such a high input power by setting an appropriate cathode radius and enhancing heat removal from the electrodes by means of heat pipe, although the achievable performance of the thruster depends on the assumption of the temperature of cathode root., 資料番号: PA1420054000}, pages = {Pb_19--Pb_25}, title = {MHD Simulation and Thermal Design of ab MPD Thruster}, volume = {12}, year = {2014} }
