Deep Eutectic Solvents: The Thruster De-cloggers

• Led proposal development for utilizing Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) to address fuel line obstructionsin rocket propulsion systems. • Conducted extensive analysis to optimize DES mixture for non-toxicity, low melting and freezingpoints, and compatibility with liquid fuel, aiming to enhance thruster performance. • Designed proposal framework including small-scale simulations to project effectiveness of DES inmitigating fuel obstruction and improving propellant flow into thrusters. • Proposed thorough testing plan for modified liquid propellant with DES to reduce clogging risks andenhance mission success.
