Experimentation in Baylor University Fluids Lab to create a more efficient internal combustion to facilitate cleaner engines with alternate swirlers, combustions chambers, and fuel injectors.
Combustion and Propulsion Research
Tested the laser for shadowgraph tests to ensure the injector works properly. We did this by achieving luminescence in rhodamine with laser brightness adjustments and dye concentration modifications. We used a Fresnel lens to get collimated light and used a refraction lens to scatter the laser beam into the rhodamine.​
Designed the Swirler for Combustion and Propulsion System by analyzing how swirl number, the vane angles, and the number of vanes affected the uniformity of the fuel to air ratio in CFDs. This was then manufactured for use in our lab.
Set up Shadowgraph Tests with Fuel Injector and a controlled flow of water to identify droplet sizes, such as in the snapshot below.
Conducted Shadowgraph Tests with Fuel Injector to ensure uniform fuel droplets can be achieved.
