The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

Laser-augmented chemical propulsion can provide controllable thrust for space vehicles depending on the laser power, but propellant in this technology is required to produce green, pure gaseous products and with high optic sensitivity. 5-Aminotetrazole (5-ATZ) can provide pure and clean combustion exhausts, so that 5-ATZ is a potential compound for laser-augmented chemical propulsion. Two 5-ATZ-based propellants (95% 5-ATZ/5% carbon and 94% 5-ATZ/5% carbon/1% phenolic resin, in mass %) were studied in terms of thermal properties, optical properties, and combustion characteristics. Experimental results show pure 5-ATZ (baseline) and the selected 5-ATZ-based propellants are little different in thermal properties, but the optic reflectivity of 5-ATZ mixed with 5% carbon is lower than that of pure 5-ATZ. The 5-ATZ-based propellants reveal a unique porous bubble formation on the irradiated surface, and the bubble life depends on laser power and combustion pressure complexly. The experimental results obtained show that the phenolic resin is useful to improve regression rate under low-pressure operations (0.3 MPa), and the regression rates of 5-ATZ-based propellants depend on the laser power level and combustion pressure.
