Effect of Cooling of Jet Engine Nozzle on the Overall Performance Engine

This study investigates how cooling techniques affect jet engine nozzle performance and efficiency. A smaller nozzle model with cooling channels for liquid or air cooling is designed and 3D printed. A heat source to replicate high temperatures and sensors to gauge temperature gradients, thrust, and overall engine efficiency are part of the experimental setup. The project looks into how cooling preserves optimal propulsion, increases material longevity, and lowers thermal stress. The study emphasizes the significance of thermal management in jet engine operations by contrasting the performance of cooled and uncooled nozzles.
