초록

하이브리드 로켓의 후연소실(post chamber)은 액화된 연료의 추가적 연소를 유도하여 엔탈피 상승으로 이어지도록 한다. 후연소실이 있는 하이브리드 로켓에 파라핀 왁스를 연료로 사용하는 경우, 연소초기에만 비정상 연소 압력진동이 관찰된다. 본 연구는 비정상 연소 압력진동의 발생과 액적의 추가적 연소 사이의 상관관계를 확인하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 후연소실 연소를 가시화하고 POD 기법을 활용한 이미지 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 모드 재구성을 통해 액적의 거동을 포함하고 있는 모드를 분리하여 비정상적인 연소압력의 진동과 액적의 연소 사이의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 일련의 실험에서는 후연소실로 유입되는 액화 연료량과 액적발생을 조절하여 비정상 연소압력 진동의 변화를 유도하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 파라핀 왁스의 연소 초기에만 관찰되는 비정상 연소압력 진동은 후연소실에서 발생하는 액적의 추가적인 연소가 그 발생원인임을 알 수 있다.

The post chamber in hybrid rocket is installed to induce additional increase in combustion enthalpy by allowing continuous burning of the liquefied fuels. When paraffin wax fuel is used, unsteady pressure oscillations are observed only at the beginning of combustion. This study intends to investigate the effect of additional combustion of liquefied fuel droplets on the occurrence of unsteady pressure fluctuations. For this, the combustion in post-chamber was visualized and image analysis using POD(Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) technique was performed. In addition, the hypothesis was proposed on the occurrence of unsteady pressure oscillations by identifying the modes including the behavior of droplets through mode reconstruction. Conducting a series of combustion tests, the amount of liquefied fuel flowing into the post chamber and the generation of fuel droplets were controlled. Also, the changes in frequency characteristic of unsteady pressure oscillation were monitored. As a result, the unsteady pressure oscillations observed in paraffin wax combustion were the result of additional combustion of fuel droplets generated in the post chamber.
