  • The Mira 2 Rocket Engine: Applying Lessons Learned for an Improved Iteration

    Creator:
    Dimas-Harms, Colton R.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I present the design of Mira 2, a small-scale, liquid bipropellant rocket engine, with a specific focus on its oxidizer-centered pintle injector. Building upon the valuable lessons and insights gained from the empirical testing of its predecessor, Mira 1, the Mira 2 engine incorporates several improvements and...

  • Design of Experiments to Support Automated Assembly Planning

    Creator:
    Liu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Assembly time estimation is a key factor in evaluating the performance of the assembly process in an automated assembly process. The overall goal of this study is to develop an efficient assembly time estimation method by generating the prediction model from an experimental design. In order to estimate these times,...

  • Self-adaptive Subsets for Stretched and Rotated Textures in Digital Image Correlation

    Creator:
    Gao, Zizhan
    Abstract:
    Digital image correlation (DIC) uses pairs of images, one in a reference state and one after in situ manipulation of the object, to measure full-field displacements and strains by tracking the motion of small image subsets. Subset selection is always a crucial part of DIC technique as it has a...

  • Soot Modeling: GPU Accelerated Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

    Creator:
    Lorson, Paige
    Abstract:
    For this project, we designed a soot modeling software to produce a full particle density function. This model uses the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo with a full conditioning particle selection method to capture soot nucleation and coagulation in a diffusion flame. We investigate the use of graphic processing units as...

  • Cooling System Analysis of the Thrust Chamber

    Creator:
    Sazonov, Gleb
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to analyze the possible combination of cooling systems, which are film cooling and regenerative cooling, and obtain the initial estimates of possible temperature reduction. The analysis was conducted in Ansys Fluent. The methodology includes four main steps that are the following: flow simulation, combustion...
