This week we prepared for the Quarterly Peer Review. It was very nice to have our advisor attend and support us as we presented. Mike did a great job putting together everyone’s presentation materials and leading the presentation. We sent out the purchase orders for some parts we needed to fix the cooling system, and we received them this week. …
We have finalized the design for our liquid engine. We have finished the manufacturing of Nozzle and Combustion Chamber. If we have enough funding, we will manufacture the injector plate.
We have developed a MATLAB code to do the hybrid engine thermal analysis.
