Path: SC/Actuator
% Performs a tradeoff of magnetic torquers versus thrusters. Uses Ithaco data. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [massPerUnitTorque, massFlowPerUnitTorque, cTorquer] = MagTComp( Isp, r, bMedian ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ Isp (1,1) Average specific impulse of the thrusters (sec) r (1,1) Average moment arm of the thrusters (m) bMedian (1,1) Median field (T) ------- Outputs ------- massPerUnitTorque (1,1) Mass per unit torquer torque (kg/Nm) massFlowPerUnitTorque (1,1) Fuel mass flow per unit torque (kg/year/Nm) cTorquer (1,1) Coefficients for the equation m = c0 + c1*torque + c2*torque^2 (Nm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
