초록

200 N급 기체메탄-액체산소 소형로켓엔진의 연소실 특성길이 1.37 m, 1.71 m, 2.06 m에 대한 연소성능 분석을 위해 지상연소시험을 수행하였다. 로켓엔진의 주요 성능 변수로 정상상태에서의 추력, 비추력, 특성속도 등을 획득하였으며, 연소시험을 통해 확인한 성능특성을 CEA 해석으로부터 구한 이론성능과 비교 및 분석하였다. 연소성능에 대한 특성길이의 영향을 관찰한 결과, 최적의 특성길이는 1.71 m와 2.06 m사이에 존재하는 것이 확인되었다.

Ground hot-firing tests were conducted to analyze the combustion performance according to the characteristic lengths 1.37 m, 1.71 m, and 2.06 m of the combustion chamber in 200 N-class GCH4-LOx small rocket engine. Thrust, specific impulse, and characteristic velocity at the steady-state could be obtained as the key performance parameters of the rocket engine. The performance characteristics acquired through the test were compared and analyzed with the theoretical performance calculated from CEA analysis. Observation of the influence of characteristic length on the combustion performance indicates that an optimal characteristic length shall remain between 1.71 m and 2.06 m.
