The possibility of mixed propellant regenerative cooling for small low cost liquid bi-propellant rocket engines is investigated. Thermochemical analysis have been performed to characterise propellant performance and numerical simulation software has been developed to estimate the thermal performance of a regeneratively cooled N2O ethanol rocket engine. A 100N thrust 3D printed aluminium rocket engine has been designed and tested. Martin …
Let There Be (Optimal) Light
Vertical farming, where crops are grown vertically indoors, uses more than 600% energy per kg of crops produced compared to traditional greenhouses. By reducing the amount of light exposed to the lettuce plant rocket, a reduction of this energy consumption could be achieved. By exposing rocket to 7 hours of light per day an energy saving of 10% per kg …
aquadynamic coating
Do you love saving money and becoming more climate and environmentally friendly in the process? Then this is the project for you! This project revolves around the amazing invention of “ship paint,” specifically top coats, and how they can be made more efficient and cost-effective. This type of paint repels living organisms from the ship’s hull, reducing unnecessary friction. The …
