Simulation research of microwave heating efficiency for beamed energy thruster
Microwave beamed energy thruster is a kind of delivery tool using ground microwave beams to provide the energy to launch to the Earth 1st orbit from ground. The energy conversion is different with conventional microwave heating. In order to study the energy efficiency
the report gives a simple energy receiving module of thermal exchange system to simulate conversion process. Millimeter wave heating efficiency as well as maximum temperature have been analysised with the module. Further more
three fabric of exchange system was designed for 2-D simulation to explore the influence of structure. Genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters affecting the performance. Simulation results show that thermal exchange system performance follow with material permittivity damping which expected to be moderate. The maximum energy efficiency is over 30%
and the stabilization efficiency is around 23%.
