Climate Change

Dr. Ferrenberg has worked on various R&D projects in the aerospace industry and on advanced diesel engine technology.  He was employed as a civilian scientist by the Air Force, taught briefly and part-time at several universities, developed and operated his own small R&D company, and was employed at Rocketdyne.  His aerospace R&D work generally involved modeling of combustion processes for aircraft fire and explosion protection, fuels research, and liquid rocket engine combustor R&D.  At Rocketdyne, he managed the Advanced Combustion Devices Department, which was responsible for all advanced liquid rocket engine combustor research and development.  This included the design, fabrication and testing of new concepts and engines as well as more basic combustor related research and combustor modeling.  In his “retirement” he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in thermal sciences (Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Solar Thermal Systems) in the mechanical engineering department at the University of Nevada - Reno for seven years.
