Description:
A review of the design background and operating objectives of a multipropellant resistojet is presented. An engine has been designed to operate with carbon dioxide, methane, water, hydrazine decomposition products and hydrogen. Design performance has been constrained to ensure a 10,000-hour life. The engine, constructed primarily of grain stabilized platinum, is to operate at temperatures up to 1400 C. General performance guidelines, design and fabrication methods are reported.
