Overview

The goal of the Liquid Propulsion subteam is to continually learn more about bi-propellant liquid rocket engines, by designing, manufacturing, and testing our own engine. While the other subteams on Rocket Team support a central rocketry project, Liquid Propulsion instead focuses on design of an independent engine. Currently, the team is ready to hot fire their Helios engine, and is finishing the design of their Romulus engine.

Learning Curriculum

The liquid prop team has developed an on-boarding curriculum to provide new and existing members with an introduction into various important concepts that are necessary to know on the team. These topics include basic engine design, incompressible flow fundamentals, combustion fundamentals, feed system design, as well as more advanced topics. Click the header above to explore the different learning resources.

Research

Through the design of engines, and recent research endeavors, the team has compiled various write-ups and findings relevant to our work. Past findings from previous projects can be found here, along with findings from the research initiative that the sub-team began in October 2020 (which then became Project Romulus!).
