This dataset supports the thesis entitled: "Development and characterisation of an additive manufactured high-temperature resistojet"
AWARDED BY: University of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2022 

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset covers both cyclic endurance tests on STAR-0, STAR-BB-01, and STAR-BB-02 resistojet variants, as well thrust tests on BB-02. For endurance tests, electrical and thermal measurements are recorded.
For thrust tests, the data include propellant pressure and mass flow rate, as well as measured thrust. The data is in .csv format, with headers indicating the measurements.
These data formed the basis for the experimental discussions in Chapters 4 and 5. 

Date of data collection: August 2019 - May 2021
