A design of regenerative cooling system of 30 ton level thrust combustion chamber for ground test has been performed. The 1-D design code has been validated by comparing with the heat flux of the NAL calorimeter for high chamber pressure and water-cooling performance of the ECC engine of MOBIS. The present design code has been confirmed to predict accurately the heat flux and water-cooling performance for high chamber pressure condition. The maximum hot-gas-side wall temperature is predicted to be about 720 K without thermal barrier coating and the coolant-side wall temperature is less than the coking temperature of RP-1. The coolant temperature rises nearly 100 K with thermal barrier coating when Jet-A1 is used as coolant.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences or the vinyl content of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and type of silica on the electrical and mechanical properties of silicone rubber far high voltage insulation. When the content of vinyl group was increased, cross-linking density and hardness were increased, and tensile strength, volume resistivity and tracking resistance were improved. The mechanical and electrical properties of silicone rubber reinforced with fumed silica were higher than those of silicone rubber reinforced with precipitated silica. It was found that the electrical and mechanical properties of silicone rubber were influenced greatly by the water contents of silica.

고성능 다단연소싸이클 엔진은 산화제과잉 예연소기를 사용한다. 예연소기 후류에 위치한 배관 및 연소기 헤드 등은 고온/고압 산화제 과잉 환경에 놓이게 되며, 운용 조건에서는 국부적으로 온도를 상승시키는 외부 발화제에 의하여 녹는점보다 낮은 온도에서 재질이 발화될 수 있다. 따라서, 이러한 환경에 적합한 재질 및 코팅은 내산화성, 내인화성 및 자발화성도 중요하나, 외부 발화제에 의한 내발화성이 가장 중요한 특성이 된다. 여기서는 이러한 환경에 적합하며 지상 시험용 노즐 및 배관에 적용될 수 있는 재질 및 코팅에 대하여 조사한다. 러시아는 이미 이러한 환경에 적합한 재질 및 코팅들을 개발하여 RD-170, 180에 적용 중이다. 그러나 미국은 최근에 이러한 연구를 시작한 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 자료 접근이 가능한 범위에서 러시아의 재질 및 코팅을 조사하며, 미국 자료에서는 산소 시스템 안전 등과 같이 간접적인 자료들을 통하여 대체가 가능한 후보 재질 및 코팅을 조사한다. 다단연소싸이클 연소시험 배관에 적용할 수 있는 방법은 다음과 같다. 코팅 없이 Monel K500을 사용하거나, OFHC 혹은 Ni 라이너에 고강도 외피를 사용하는 방법이 있으나, 두 방법 모두 재질의 가격 및 수급, 라이너 적용 방법 등이 어려울 수 있다. 국내에서 산화제과잉 가스 환경에서 적용할 수 있는 법랑을 개발하거나 수급이 용이한 법랑을 찾아 오스테나이트 스테인리스강에 적용하는 방법이 있다. 이 방법은 외부 발화제에 대한 내발화성을 증가시키는 경제적이고 용이한 방법으로 판단된다.

The spherical flange was designed to apply to a cryogenic high pressure pipe of the Liquid Rocket Engine. It is designed that the spherical flange is able to be assembled and kept airtight upto $2.5^{\circ}$ of the axial misalignment between the combined components. It increases the degree of freedom of the engine assembly. The spherical flange is composed of a ball and socket joint, a metal seal and spherical type bolts, washers. The prototype was verified by leak test at the room temperature and the cryogenic temperature. Additionally the strength test and the destructive test were performed at the room temperature.

In liquid rocket engine turbopump, it is difficult to evaluate turbine performance for high pressure, high temperature circumstance. Turbine test is often done by using air at similarity condition so that the turbine can be tested at lower risk. This paper describes an air similarity test program of liquid rocket engine turbopump turbine. A test facility has been built to evaluate aerodynamic performance of turbines. The test facility consists of high pressure air supply system, mass flow rate measuring nozzle, test section, hydraulic break, exit orifice for pressure control, instrumentation and control system. This paper also presents how to decide the similarity conditions of the turbine test and describes how to control test conditions. Relative standard deviation of measurement parameter was less than 1% and measured turbine efficiency corresponded with analysis result within 2%.

A short reaction mechanism for premixed $CH_4$-air flames at high pressure was developed using a reduction method based on the combined application of the simulation error minimization connectivity method and the iterative species-removal sensitivity method. It consisted of 43 species and 554 elementary reactions under the condition that it produces less than 5% of the maximum error. The flame structures obtained using a detailed reaction mechanism and the short reaction mechanism were compared for $CH_4$-air flames with various initial temperatures and equivalence ratios at high pressure, and the results were in good agreement. Therefore, the short reaction mechanism developed could reproduce the flame speeds, temperatures, and concentrations of major and minor species at high pressure.

It becomes a more and more common practice to build facilities bigger and more integrated in an effort to optimize the process within limited resources and spaces. As the capacity of facilities increases, so does the flow rate and pressure. This in turn leads to a high consequence of accident. Not only are these facilities vulnerable to leakage because of their high pressure, but also subsequent fire and explosion can be threatening. For these reasons, there is an urgent need to come up with solutions to assess and minimize the damage from an accident. The Quantitative Risk Assessment(QRA) is one of the most efficient ways to solve problems on pressurized pipelines. The QRA can be re-enforced by applying reduction factors. In this study various types of accidents in a pressurized pipeline were evaluated. The damage from accidents were computed, then. Finally the reduction factors were very effective to decrease consequences of high pressure pipeline accidents.

In order to improve the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine, various ignition timing control systems were examined and the best one was chosen. The parts used for the systems were a microcomputer system with DAS, 8 bit output port (D-FLIP FLOP), three types of isolation circuit, two types of ignition timing pulse generator, three types of switching circuit and two types of high voltage ignition circuit. Most systems did not operate well due to the effects of electromagnetic waves and surge currents occurring when the ignition began or ended with resulting high voltage. The best ignition timing control system was found to be the combination of (microcomputer system)-(ignition timing pulse generator using step motor position control pick-up)-(switching circuit using TR logic)-(high voltage ignition circuit using CDI).

Low-pressure sodium lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, and fluorescent lamps are mainly used for tunnel lighting in Rep. of Korea, which accounts for the highest percentage in the tunnel maintenance costs. Therefore, tunnel lights are being replaced by LED lamp that have advantages with respect to low power consumption and sustainability. To analyze the effect of replacement high pressure sodium lamp with LED lamp, illumination and monthly power usage per year have been investigated for 10 tunnels. The usage of LED lamp results in illumination improvement from 27.9% to 490% and power saving around average 47.1%.
