Biowaste resistojet propellant system biological and functional analysis, task 3
Exhaust flow contamination aspects of the biowaste resistojet are studied by evaluating effects of operating pressure, temperature and composition. Biowaste propellant mixtures considered are comprised of: (1) The Sabatier reactor effluent; (2) the effluent of the cabin carbon dioxide molecular sieve; and (3) water and water vapor from various sources. Results show that plume shapes of resistojet thrusters in the 25 to 100 mlb range exhibit greater apex angles for a given density contour than a scaled inviscid jet. Operation at low thrust, low pressure and high temperature accentuates this pluming due to viscous effects in the nozzle flow. Since the biowaste resistojet effluent is traveling at high velocity in the plume away from the aircraft it is found to be a superior method of damping than the ambient venting.
