In this study, a facility was constructed to supply liquid nitrogen to simulate combustion instability in a liquid rocket combustor. The pressurization and supply performances were predicted and verified through different experiments. The liquid nitrogen supply system was composed of a pressurized supply system, and a dome regulator was used to adjust the pressure of the pressurant. A cavitation venturi was used to control the mass flow rate of liquid nitrogen. The condition of liquid nitrogen supply was a mass flow rate of 2.55 kg/s and the venturi inlet pressure was above 100 bar. Based on the initial experiment, it was observed that the predicted amount of the pressurant was not sufficiently supplied and the target pressure was not supplied due to a drop in tank pressure. Through the modification of the established facilities, the target mass flow rate was successfully supplied and the cryogenic liquid nitrogen supply facility was verified.

Two types of pressurization system and low weight feeding piping system are developed. With sub-system tests, ullage pressure control performance was verified for 1 step and 2 step pressurization system and the feeding performance of feeding piping system was also verified. The weight of the feeding piping system is low enough for the application of launch vehicle. In addition, LOX conditioning system is developed for avoiding geysering and LOX temperature rise. Integrated performance was verified through integrated on-board feeding system performance tests.

액체 로켓 엔진은 추진기관 공급 시스템으로 작동이 된다. 추진기관 공급 시스템에는 유공압장치 및 각종 배관, 필요한 압력과 유량을 연소실과 가스발생기로 공급하는 시스템, 엔진의 점화 및 정지, 발사체의 사용 목적에 따라 부과되는 기능을 수행하기 위한 장비들이 포함된다. 공급시스템은 크게 가압가스를 이용하는 방법과 터보펌프를 이용하는 방법의 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 잘 알려진 바와 같이 일반적으로 추력이 큰 로켓엔진의 경우에는 터보 펌프식이, 추력이 크지 않은 경우에는 가압가스 방식이 이용된다. 일반적으로 가압가스 방식은 연소실 압력이 커질수록 추진제 탱크의 압력도 커지므로, 그 두께가 두꺼워져서 비효율적이 된다. 따라서 연소실 압력이 비교적 크지 않은 추력이 약 10t 내외에서 많이 사용되고, 시스템이 터보 펌프식보다 구조가 매우 간단하므로, 작동의 신뢰도는 매우 높다.

Liquid rocket engine system is classified into an engine of pressurization and turbo pump type by the way of fuel fed-supporting system. In the KSR-III sounding rocket, an engine of pressurization type was used, but there was lots of technical problems to be solved for a use as the first stage engine of space launch vehicle. So, an engine of turbo pump type was required to be developed to overcome the technical limitation of liquid rocket engine. In this research, the analysis of propellant of Kerosine-LOX and methane-LOX which are noticed as a future propellant was carried out for the purpose of studying the basic characteristics. And to review the basic characteristics of an engine of turbo pump type, among the sizing variant of the space launch vehicle, the ways of injecting a satellite to a direct orbit and transient orbit were discussed in this paper.

At negative-g condition, a float-type valve can open the passage of fuel in order to it flows continuously through a pressurized fuel tank system. Since specialized test conditions and high-cost supports are required, it is truly difficult to test the valve in a real high-speed test. Therefore, this paper contains performance analysis of a float-type fuel supply valve through flight tests conducting roll and negative-g maneuvers.

A construction process of hydrogen peroxide supply system was investigated to use hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer of bi-propellant liquid rocket engine. To use hydrogen peroxide as a rocket propellant, it has to be in high concentration over 90%. It is very important to make the supply system free of pollutants, because highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide has a characteristic of hypersensitive reaction to pollutants such as dust and oil sludge. We suggested the cleaning and passivation process of main components to minimize pollutants of the supply system. In conclusion, we verified stability of the constructed supply system by leak test and hot test.

전력계통에서 고장과 같은 어떤 원인에 의한 전계통 정전 또는 광역정전이 발생하였을 경우, 빠른 시간 내에 다시 전력을 공급하기 위한 조치를 취해야 한다. 그러나 계통의 구성 형태, 부하 조건, 발전기의 종류 등에 의해 계통 복구시 부하 투입에 의한 발전기 응동, 송전선로 가압시 선로 충전용량에 의한 과도현상 등 다양한 형태의 과도현상이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국내의 시송전 계통에서의 복구절차 수행시 송전선로를 가압할 때 발생하는 과도현상을 분석하였다. EMTP를 사용하여 시송전 계통을 모델링하였으며, 선로 가압에 의한 과도현상을 분석하였다.

KSR-III is the first Korean sounding rocket propelled by a liquid propellant propulsion system and it has been developed over 5 years using purely domestic technologies. The propulsion system of KSR-III is a 13-ton class see-level thrust liquid rocket engine(LRE) which utilizes liquid oxygen and kerosene for its propellants and employed pressurized propellant feeding and ablative cooling system. The problem of combustion instabilities which has brought the most difficulty in the development was resolved by implementation of a baffle. Through the development of KSR-III LRE, meaningful achievements have been made in the core technologies of LRE such as design of injectors and combustion chambers and test, evaluation, and control of combustion instabilities. The acquired technologies will be applied to the development of higher performance LREs necessary for future space development programs such as Korean Small Launch Vehicles(KSLV) In this paper, the development of KRE-III LRE system is described including its design, analyses. performance tests and evaluation.

This paper describes characteristics of solid-state $NaBH_4$ hydrogen generation and supply system for fuel cell UAV. Flow rate and pressure of the generated hydrogen were dramatically changed during $NaBH_4$ decomposition using acid. Hydrogen supply was stabilized by a self-pressurized reactor, and hydrogen stabilization method was introduced. For hydrogen generation in below zero-temperature, hydrochloric acid was diluted by propylene glycol-water mixtures. Solid-state $NaBH_4$hydrogen generation and supply system was designed. Basic operation experiments was performed to reveal the characteristics of this hydrogen generation system.
