Preliminary design of twin-cylinder engines
This report deals with the preliminary design of a twin-cylinder engine. The goal of the work is not to make the detailed design of the engine but to draw the main characteristics of each kind of engine and to investigate which configuration of twin-cylinder engine matches in the best way to given …

A Unified Turbine Preliminary Design Study
During the preliminary stages of design, designers must make decisions concerning size, speed and machine type. Misinformed choices in design parameters and architecture can lock in suboptimal performance. Design charts leveraging similitude are powerful tools that can help designers make better …

Incorporating Computational Fluid Dynamics Into The Preliminary Design Cycle
… tools that Industry often struggles with in the preliminary design of a product is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Some of the challenges presented by CFD are the time it takes to create a CAD model, generate a valid grid for analysis, obtain a solution, post-process results, and review the …

Robust preliminary design for multiple gravity assist spacecraft trajectories
The development of a new spacecraft trajectory design method most often occurs because a particular capability does not exist. The invention is usually considered successful so long as it is capable of producing solutions to the problem in question, and thus satisfies a particular design …

Preliminary design of a liquid bipropellant microfabricated rocket engine
This thesis discusses the design of a microfabricated rocket engine. Micro-rockets feature a thrust to weight ratio up to two orders of magnitude greater than conventional rocket motors at small thrust levels and hence are very attractive for satellite propulsion applications and micro-satellite …

Preliminary Design of a Titan-Orbiting Stellar Occultation Mission
… thesis serves to provide a conceptual mission design for a Titan-orbiting stellar occultation mission. Titan has a significant atmosphere much like Earth's. An improved understanding of Titan's atmosphere could provide valuable information about the evolution of Earth's climate. Titan's …

The Application Of Object-oriented Techniques To Preliminary Design Problems
Preliminary structural design is an early stage in building design during which the engineer formulates and assesses a number of different structural schemes. It is conceptual in nature and involves decision making, which relies on heuristics. Whilst preliminary structural design has not been well …
