Abstract

The review of the liquid propellant rocket engine is presented. The combustion instabilities which were discovered on solid and liquid propellant rocket engines in 1930, have occurred on propulsion devices, such as gas turbine, ramjet, scramjet and rocket, and thus a study on the combustion instability became necessary. However, this problem has not been solved yet. Therefore, we investigated causes and mechanisms of the combustion instability and surveyed the efforts of solving combustion instability in various countries for developing stable liquid propellant rocket engines.

액체추진제 로켓 엔진에서 발생되는 연소불안정 현상에 대해 논의하였다. 지난 1930년대에 고체 및 액체 로켓에서 발견되었던 연소불안정 현상은 연소현상을 이용하는 가스터빈, 램 및 스크램젯, 로켓 등 모든 기관에서 문제가 대두되었고, 이러한 기관들의 안정적인 운용을 위해서는 연소 불안정성에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 그러나 엔진을 파괴하는 심각한 현상을 초래하는 이 현상을 아직까지 완전히 제어하고 있지 못하다. 따라서 연소불안정 현상이 발생되는 원인과 메커니즘을 알아보고, 액체추진제 로켓에 대한 각국의 개발사를 알아보았다.
