Park City, Utah, United States

- Lancair Evolution inlet redesign¤ The internship's main project was to redesign the turboprop kit plane inlet to reduce inlet drag and fix oil cooler problems with the goal of increasing flight cruise speed.¤ Researched possible inlet configurations to obtain better performance with lower drag, includingchin- and pitot type inlets and NACA scoops, interactions between propeller and inlet location andgeometry, and engine performance based on inlet shape and mass flow rate.¤ Applied aerodynamic and system integration knowledge to streamline and improve ram pressurerecovery and reduce drag of inlet by extending the inlet closer to the prop, reducing the verticaldistance from engine lip to propeller hub of the pitot inlet, separating the engine and oil coolerducts and properly designing the inlet lip shape.¤ Created CAD drawings in SolidWorks of improved inlet and engine cowling.- Test flight engineer for prototype Lancair Evolution with experimental P&W engine.- Assisted with making of carbon fiber engine air duct and moving the oil cooler forward on the prototype Evolution.- Drag reduction study of de Havilland Vampire to be used in the Reno Air Races.

Assisting with experiment setup and wind tunnel lab functionalities

Raufoss, Norway

Acquired knowledge about and adapted to Nammo Raufoss AS' current projects, emphasizing on hybrid and mono-propellant rocket propulsion, required for best results in the two internship problems:- Frequency analysis, SPARTAN Hybrid Rocket Engine¤ Used SigView to perform combustion instability analysis of pressure data obtained from transducers placed in the oxidizer feed line and combustion chamber.¤ Frequency spectrums and spectrograms were examined and compared to determine what instability modes were present and where they originated from.¤ Analyzed results and presented findings to the Missile Project Department in a technical report and held a presentation for the department.- Preliminary Design Analysis of North Star Hybrid Rocket Launch Vehicle Turbopump¤ Researched radial pumps and turbines to develop a preliminary design of an oxidizer turbopump for the company's proposed hybrid sounding rocket fleet.¤ Summarized and systematized the design procedure and important design factors. ¤ Examined the challenges and typical problems in turbopump design and suggested possible design solutions.¤ Developed a spreadsheet to do initial mass and dimension estimates for North Star's turbopump.¤ Sketched flow diagrams of different options for running the turbomachinery, including pump, turbine, plumbing and valves.¤ Wrote a detailed technical report establishing a foundation for further development.
