What is Regenerative vs Radiation Cooling in Thrusters about?

This document analyzes the effects of regenerative and radiation cooling on the performance of electrothermal thrusters. It finds that for frozen flow, regenerative cooling does not necessarily improve performance as much as it does for equilibrium flow. This is because increased regenerative cooling raises the gas enthalpy, which can significantly increase the frozen-flow power loss as well as the nozzle heat loss. As a result, the performance gains may not be as great as for equilibrium flow. The document
