Path: Propulsion/Electric
% Computes the thrust and specific impulse of an electric thruster. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [iSP, power, mdot, AStar] = TElec( T, molWt, gamma, eff, TC, p ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ T (1,:) Thrust (N) molWt (1,1) Molecular weight (kg/mole) gamma (1,1) Ratio of specific Heats eff (1,1) Efficiency TC (1,1) Chamber Temperature (°K) p (1,1) Chamber Pressure (N/m^2) ------- Outputs ------- iSP (1,:) Specific Impulse (sec) power (1,:) Power Consumption (watts) mdot (1,:) Mass flow (kg/sec) AStar (1,:) Throat area (m^2) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
