Under Development - Completion Early 2024
The rocket module engages students in testing fuel-oxidant mixtures for propulsion. Users will receive an immersive introduction to rocket propulsion, learn about fuel-oxidant mixtures and their reactions, and then use calorimetry to measure the heat of reaction for fuel-oxidant mixtures. Calorimetry and other data are used to create an engine with an optimum fuel-oxidant mixture. A simple rocket will be virtually launched to test engine performance. This module covers heat of reaction, calorimetry, enthalpy, entropy, and catalysts. It has connections to kinetics and materials applications.
