While working on the design of the Gizzard-1 for my senior project, I developed a useful tool in python for analyzing rocket engines. It runs multiple heat transfer methods, analyzes stresses for a coaxial cooling channel design, and takes input from NASA's Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA). It is a great tool for 1D axis symmetric steady state flow analysis.

I'm still working on adding new features to it, such as embedding NASA's CEA, transient analysis, aide in geometry design, and additional stress methods for different engine structures.

The goal now is to make it as useful and user friendly so I can pass what I've learned down to future generations of Oregon Tech Rocketry & Aerospace Members.
