Mixing Nozzle Experiment
In this project, the multi-lobe mixing nozzle was tested inside the low-speed wind tunnel (LSWT) at Queen's University. Additive manufacturing was utilized to produce the experimental parts. The nozzle was attached to an electrical propelling fan. The fan has a rotor stage made of 11 blades followed by a stator stage made of 5 blades and

Propelling fan with nozzle CAD model
To make the fan appropriate for aerodynamics experiments a nacelle had to be added
