Check for what speed we need a new nosecone
Casing for thermocouple for measuring motor exhaust temps.

Made branch /feature/heat_modeling

Made progress on this, have an estimate on T exhaust for range of gamma values. This will let us guess the chemical composition of the OTC motor if we feel like doing more modeling later.

The conductive heat transfer model, using a diffusion model, is very wrong, but some experimenting with boundary and initial conditions seems promising. This could inform the thermocouple casing design.
