We're ready for liftoff at @formnext_expo 2024 🚀 In partnership with Jack Tufft from the @UofGlasgow and @spacegovuk, ToffeeX was used to design regenerative cooling channels for high-efficiency rocket engines. These channels are the most critical feature for cooling the engine, and will be put through their paces during hot fire tests at the new UoG test site in 2025! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠? Regenerative cooling is a method for cooling the internal walls of a rocket engine, which must withstand the incredibly harsh environment of the high temperature, high speed exhaust gases. The technology works by circulating fuel through channels in the nozzle walls, achieving two key benefits: ❄️ Keeps it cool: Minimizing temperatures in the combustion chamber and nozzle to avoid melting. 📈 Boosts efficiency: Preheating the fuel, improving overall combustion efficiency. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐗 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧? ToffeeX uses physics-driven #generativedesign to optimize the heat transfer effectiveness of the fuel flow, while minimizing pressure losses. This approach enables efficient cooling without compromising fuel delivery, resulting in an innovative, 3D-printed design that overcomes conventional engineering constraints. 👉 Want to see these components in person and our software in action?
