The monopropellant hydrazine thrusters are widely used for the satellite on-board propulsion system fulfilling various missions in space. They have outstanding features caused by the nearly unlimited restart capability and the very high credibility. The sole monopropellant thruster used at precent in nation is MRE-1 that is a standard component of NASA. It can produce 4.45 N of nominal thrust. Due to the glowing complexity with a satellite mission, the needs for thrusters of the diverse performance are being increased. The numerical simulation could give useful information to develop a new type thruster instead of the experiments performed previously. Therefore it is critical to make a reliable computer code to prepare design change of a thruster. In this paper, the performance analysis and validation of the satellite monopropellant hydrazine thruster currently used is accomplished as the preliminary study to serve valuable data for future design change.

The purpose of this study is to identify the basic concept of thruster design through the visualization firing test on a hydrazine thruster. We designed the visual catalyst bed on the basis of the 1lbf hydrazine thruster for a low earth orbit satellite and observed visually the internal catalyst bed reaction.

Stoichiometry of hydrazine-bromate reaction has been studied in acid media of varying compositions, elucidating the effects of bromide and chloride ions in sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrobromic acid at varying concentrations of hydrogen ion and cupric ion. The study shows that the number of red-ox equivalent consumed by one mole of hydrazine becomes practically 4.00 if the concentrations of bromide and hydrogen ions are kept higher than 0.1M and 6M, respectively. The presence of copper tends to reduce the bromate consumption by hydrazine in an irregular manner, but such an effect becomes unimportant if the concentrations of bromide and hydrogen ions are kept sufficiently high.

Spherical fine cobalt powders were fabricated by new liquid reduction method. Commercial cobalt sufate heptahydrate was used as raw material. Also ethylene glycol was used as solvent and hydrazine-sodium hypophosphite mixture was used as reduction agent for the new liquid reduction method. A plate shaped cobalt powders with an approximately 300 nm were prepared by a traditional wet ruduction method using distilled water as solvent and hydrazine. Spherical fine cobalt powders with an average size of $1-3{\mu}m$ were synthesized by a new liquid reduction method in 0.3M cobalt sulfate and 1.5M hydrazine-0.6M sodium hypophosphite mixture at 333K.

This paper describes the continuous flow operation of membraneless sodium perborate fuel cell using acid/alkaline bipolar electrolyte. Here, hydrazine is used as a fuel and sodium perborate is used as an oxidant under Alkaline-acid media configuration. Sodium perborate affords hydrogen peroxide in aqueous medium. In our operation, the laminar flow based microfluidic membranleless fuel cell achieved a maximum power density of $27.2mW\;cm^{-2}$ when using alkaline hydrazine as the anolyte and acidic perborate as the catholyte at room temperature with a fuel mixture flow rate of $0.3mL\;min^{-1}$. The simple planar structured membraneless sodium perborate fuel cell enables high design flexibility and easy integration of the microscale fuel cell into actual microfluidic systems and portable power applications.

Hydrazine is a weak base and strong reducing agent in the aqueous solution and is primarily utilized as a high-energy rocket propellant and an oxygen scavenger in boiler or feedwater. The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and reactions of hydrazine and the catalytic and thermal decomposition by the temperature change. Hydrazine was fast decomposed with the catalyst of lower activation energy and at the higher temperature.

Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for $S_NAr$ reactions of Y-substituted-phenoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzenes (1a-1g) with hydrazine and glycylglycine in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. Hydrazine is 14.6-23.4 times more reactive than glycylglycine. The magnitude of the ${\alpha}$-effect increases linearly as the substituent Y becomes a stronger electron-withdrawing group (EWG). The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots for the reactions with hydrazine and glycylglycine are linear with ${\beta}_{lg}=-0.21$ and -0.14, respectively, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with expulsion of the leaving group occurring after rate-determining step (RDS). The Hammett plots correlated with ${\sigma}^{\circ}$ constants result in much better linear correlations than ${\sigma}^-$ constants, indicating that expulsion of the leaving group is not advanced in the transition state (TS). The reaction of 1a-1g with hydrazine has been proposed to proceed through a five-membered cyclic intermediate ($T_{III}$), which is structurally not possible for the reaction with glycylglycine. Stabilization of the intermediate $T_{III}$ through intramolecular H-bonding interaction has been suggested as an origin of the ${\alpha}$-effect exhibited by hydrazine.

Direct hydrazine fuel cells (DHFCs) have been considered to be one of the promising fuel cells because hydrazine as a liquid fuel possesses several advantages such as no emission of CO₂, relatively high energy density and catalytic activity over platinum group metal (PGM)-free anode catalysts. Judging from plenty of research works, however, regarding key components such as electrocatalysts as well as their physicochemical properties, it becomes quite necessary to understand better the underlying processes in DHFCs for the long term stability. Herein, we highlight recent studies of DHFCs in terms of a systematic approach for developing cost-effective and stable anode catalysts and electrode structures that incorporate mass transport characteristics of hydrazine, water and gas bubbles.

A water-flow test for acceptance verification is carried out for a nonimpinging-type injector prior to the design-performance verification of hydrazine thruster under development. The injector used in the experiment is to be equipped on the hydrazine thruster producing 70 N of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 24.6 $kg_f/cm^2$. It is observed that there exist varying characteristics of atomization among the injector-nozzle orifices caused by a fabrication error which can be judged from a microscopic standpoint. On the other hand, all of the injector orifices are placed within the design criteria in an injection-angle performance.
