This week the team met to discuss different ways we could address our scope of work. At the team meeting, each member presented one (or more) ideas that could be used as solutions to the problem of waste heat. Through this process we were able to derive a few concepts that moved forward in crafting a decision matrix. We also started working on a draft of our preliminary design review. On an aerodynamic level, we strengthened our understanding of the isolator and engine bay flow states which will be beneficial moving forward.  

Looking to next week, we’ll be meeting with one of our liaison engineers in person. Additionally, we’ll be focusing on calculating quantitative values for our concepts to benefit both the decision matrix and specifications/requirements.
