Optimisation of rocket engine propellant feed systems components

In this project at the University of Glasgow, the student will be based out of the Space Propulsion and Deep Exploration (SPADE) lab within the Space and Exploration Technology (SET) research group. The student will focus on optimisation of rocket engine propellant feed systems components, through a design process involving ideation, optimisation, simulation, manufacture, and experimental validation.

This project will also have a focus on the utilisation of additive manufacturing of complex components. This student will have the unique opportunity to contribute to space launch hardware, operating with industry leaders and leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and resources.
