Scientific paper

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in propellants less toxic than conventional propellants. These propellants are potentially easier and safer to handle and are expected to reduce the costs associated with propellant ground operations, transport and spacecraft development. This paper outlines the future applications and the system specific performance as well as propulsion system impact for some of the less toxic propellants proposed. A propulsion system analysis is performed to identify RHP applications. The system specific impulse, Issp, is used to evaluate the propulsion system performance when required velocity increment is assigned. Moreover, a transient finite volume model is developed to evaluate water hammer effects and system pressure drops using a CFD code. Less toxic propellants are hereafter denoted as "reduced hazard propellants - RHP".
