Development of a monopropellant micro-nozzle in low temperature CO-fired ceramic tape

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

A micro-propulsion device was developed using Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics (LTCC). The device was powered using H2O2 as a mono-propellant with plans for other propellants including H2 or propane. High concentrations of High Test Peroxide (∼ 90%) generated an adiabatic decomposition temperature of 1029 K when exposed to a silver catalyst. This decomposition reaction generated a high-energy exhaust composed of water vapor and oxygen. The LTCC micro-propulsion device was constructed by stacking cross-sectional layers to create internal three-dimensional features. Low temperature co-fired ceramics fabrication process, a mono-propellant micro-propulsion device was developed. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 30th International Symposium on combustion (Chicago, IL 7/25-30/2004).
