The fiery heart of a rocket lies in its ignition system, and for LOX/Ethanol engines, mastering this spark is crucial. This project delves into the intricate dance of liquid oxygen (LOX) and ethanol, unlocking the secrets to achieve optimal ignition. By exploring key parameters like injector design, propellant flow rates, and ignition timing, we aim to create a more efficient and reliable combustion process. Imagine a symphony where the fuel and oxidizer intertwine perfectly, igniting in a controlled burst, unleashing the engine's full potential. This project seeks to orchestrate that harmony. Through meticulous testing and computational analysis, we'll identify critical factors influencing ignition stability and combustion efficiency. Beyond the technical prowess, this optimization has far-reaching implications. A more efficient engine translates to lower emissions, reduced costs, and potentially, increased payload capacity. It paves the way for cleaner, more sustainable space exploration, opening doors to exciting missions and scientific discoveries. This is not just about igniting a rocket; it's about igniting the future of space travel. By optimizing the LOX/Ethanol ignition, we unlock a cleaner, more efficient path towards the stars, one fiery spark at a time
