Solidworks design of De Laval nozzle that our team is going to test for the propulsion system.
Wireframe design showing the parabolic curvature of the De Laval nozzle.
This is a 3D printed (A.B.S) De Laval nozzle that I printed for the actual testing with an air hose (80-100 psi).
Performed CFD analysis for a De Laval nozzle operating at 861645 Pa. This is the pressure contour plot for the same.

Design, testing and fabrication of cold gas propulsion system. (R.I.T. Space Exploration)
Project:
Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites.
Designing the whole setup on SOLIDWORKS and fabricating cold gas propulsion system to determine the efficiency of a cold gas thruster with different areas and pressure ratios.
R.I.T. Space Exploration propulsion team will present their work at “IMAGINE R.I.T. 2017”.
