<p>This thesis focuses on the development of reduced pressure
testing capabilities at Zucrow Laboratories.
A two-stage ejector on loan from NASA Marshall is used in series with a
supersonic diffuser to allow for the testing of up to100 lb<sub>f</sub> rocket
engines at equivalent altitudes of up to 100,000 ft. The objective of this research is to
implement a one-dimensional (1-D) model which accurately predicts the
performance of the two-stage ejector in real time, informing the maximum thrust
and simulated altitude capabilities within the altitude chamber located in room
134A of ZL3 during experimental testing.</p>
