Design & Test Rocket Engines Interactively Meco Rocket Simulator introduces rocket engine concepts in a fun way to inspire budding rocket engineers/scientists to support our multi-planetary future. For realism, Meco crunches the numbers using principles from well-cited research and published practitioners. The Rocket Engine Simulator for Interactive Design Say goodbye to pages of endless numbers and equations because you’ll see the outcome of your design choices in seconds. It’s a fun way to learn – perfect for next-gen engineers and scientists to have fun while learning to be trailblazers in our multi-planetary future. On The Shoulders of Giants Play campaigns with missions based on real-life events. For example, build and simulate rocket engines that show: - How the USA developed the Redstone-Mercury rocket engine, which in essence, sent the first American to Space. - Progression of SpaceX’s improvements to Merlin Engines, in particular, from Falcon 1 to Falcon 9 full-thrust. - Development of engines for the Saturn V moon rocket that were exceptionally reliable despite the technology available at the time. - How the Europa I/II Rocket engines were developed, which enabled Europe’s first orbit-capable Launch Vehicle. Detailed Fluid and Combustion Simulation Meco’s detailed simulation allows you to observe the following: - Gas and liquids flow in lines and ducts due to pressure and friction. - Ignition, throttle and shutdown sequences following value valve timings. - Thrust chamber and nozzle temperatures following regenerative, film and ablative cooling. - Evaluate the pros and cons resulting from gas generator, expander, and other engine cycles. - Nozzle gas exit velocity and flow separation change when the shape of the nozzle is changed. - Lastly, get the expected engine thrust, efficiency, and ISP readings to evaluate your design.
