Abstract

A Mach 5 nozzle and a diffuser of the Scramjet Engine Test Facility (SETF) were made for a hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet engine. SETF, attached with a diffuser guide, started with a model of 60% blockage, though the model engine could not start by over expansion of the facility nozzle. The model was moved into the nozzle to escape the shock generated from the nozzle exit, both SETF and the engine could start. The pitot rake experiments (blockage of 2.3%) were done for measuring the core flow in the test section. From the pitot experiments, the core flow was expanded by an under expansion. It means that the core flow in the test section was related with a model blockage. SETF and the engine with a blockage of 33% work normally. From a series of experiments, SETF started with a normal shock efficiency of 58%, regardless of a blockage ratio.

탄화수소 스크램제트 엔진 시험을 위하여 한국항공우주연구원 스크램제트 엔진 시험설비의 마하 5 노즐과 디퓨저가 제작되었다. 설비 시동을 개선을 위해 디퓨저 가이드를 장착하였으나 폐색율 60% 엔진 모델을 장착한 상태에서 설비의 과대 팽창으로 인한 엔진 불시동을 확인, 이를 개선하기 위하여 모델 위치를 전방으로 이동하여 설비와 엔진의 시동을 확인하였다. 코어 유동을 측정을 위하여 피토레이크(폐색율 2.3%) 성능시험을 수행하였으며, 설비 노즐의 과소팽창으로 인하여 코어 유동이 디퓨저 쪽으로 갈수록 커지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 폐색율이 시험부 유동 양상을 결정짓고 있음을 뜻한다. 폐색율 33% 모델을 장착한 상태에서 설비와 엔진은 원활히 작동하였다. 일련의 시험을 통하여 마하 5 노즐을 장착한 스크램제트 엔진 시험설비는 모델의 폐색율과 관계없이 수직 충격파 효율 약 58%로 시동함을 확인하였다.
