고체 로켓 추진기관의 노즐을 개발하기 위해서는 주어진 체계 제한 조건내에서 기본적인 가스의 동력학, 내탄도에 의한 형상 설계, 재료 개발 및 적용 기술, 열전달 계산에 의한 열설계 및 해석 등이 종합적으로 적용되며 수많은 반복과정을 거쳐야 한다. 특히 최근에는 알루미늄 함유량을 증가시켜 연소가스의 온도가 300$0^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되는 고성능 추진제가 일반적으로 적용되고 있으므로 고온에 의한 열적문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있으며 이에 견디는 신뢰도가 높은 노즐 설계개발이 요구되고 있다. 노즐목을 노즐내에서 열부하가 가장 심한 곳으로 노즐목 확대에 의한 추력 손실을 최소화하기 위해 내삭마성이 강한 재료를 선정하여야 하며, 그래파이트는 이러한 조건을 만족시키는 소재의 하나로 많이 적용되고 있다.

The ablation characteristics of graphite nozzle throat insert was analyzed for the use in solid rocket propulsion system. The propulsion system was composed of three types of conventional nozzles, such as De-Laval type, blast tube type, and submerged type. Various kinds of propellants were used in ten kinds of propulsion system that had different shapes with each other. Total forty eight tests were performed. From the results of the analysis, it was found that the ablation rate was increased for the higher average chamber pressure and the higher oxidizer mole fraction. A useful correlation for nozzle throat ablation rate was developed in terms of the chamber pressure, oxidizer mole fraction, and throat size. The calculated ablation rates from the correlation showed agreement within ${\pm}0.10mm/s$ with the experimentally determined values.

Propellant grains with embedded metal wires have been used for enhancement of burning rate while maintaining high loading density. For the performance design of a solid rocket motor using propellant grain with embedded metal wires, burn-back analysis is required according to number, location, arrangement angle of metal wires, and augmentation ratio of the propellant burning rate near a wire region. In this study, a numerical method to quickly calculate a burning surface area was developed in response to the design change of the propellant grain with embedded metal wires. The burning surface area derived from the developed method was compared with the results of a CAD program. Error rate decreased as the radial size of the grid decreased. Analysis for characteristics of burning surface area was performed according to the number and location of metal wires, the initial and final phases were shortened and the steady-state phase was increased when the number of metal wires increased. When arranging the metal wires at different radii, the burning surface area rapidly increased in the initial phase and sharply decreased in the final phase compared to the case where the metal wires were disposed in the same radius.

Operation area of corps was expanded under military reformation, and extending range of 155 mm howitzer became important issue. New approach is needed to extend range to 80 kim. Ramjet engine is air breathing engine, and it can provide specific impulse several times more than solid rocket motor so that range is extended using same weight of propellant. If the ramjet engine is gun-launched system, it does not require any other booster because muzzle velocity is near Mach 3. Especially solid fuel ramjet (SFRJ) does not have any moving part so that it is favorable for gun-launching system which is under high stress during launching. In this paper, we design air intake, combustion chamber, and nozzle of 155 mm gun launched ramjet propelled artillery shell with inviscid flow assumption. We conduct parameter study to have range more than 80 km, and maximum high explosive volume.

The thermal response of carbon/phenolic used in a solid rocket nozzle liner was analyzed. In this paper, the numerical analysis of the thermal response of carbon/phenolic consists of (1) the integration equation of the boundary layer to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient of the combustion gas on the rocket nozzle wall and (2) 1-D finite difference method for heat conduction of carbon/phenolic to calculate the ablation, char, and temperature. The calculated result was compared with the result of a blast-tube-type test motor. It is found that the calculated result shows good agreement with the thermal response of the test motor, except at the vicinity of the throat insert.

In this study, we developed a method to predict/analyze the performance of a dual thrust rocket motor that has 2 kinds propellant charged in axial direction. When transitioning from the booster to the suspender stage, a transient phenomenon related to performance occurred at the interface. The causes and characteristics of the transient phenomenon were investigated by comparing them with the results of the combustion test. It was confirmed that the performance transient phenomenon is sensitively generated not only by the shape design between the propellants with different properties of the propellant, but also by errors in manufacturing due to the propellant curing shrinkage.

Pintle technology, which is one of the thrust control method for solid rocket motor, can control the thrust by the control of nozzle throat area through the pintle moving. For studying the unsteady flow characteristics of pintle nozzle by needle type pintle moving, cold flow test and numerical analysis were performed. The pressure distribution on the pintle tip was varied for pintle moving and stopping and thrust was varied by this effects.

A design of a subscale solid propellant rocket motor was conducted to do the similitude experiments for the large scale rocket motor. One of the main factor to subscale was the mach number of the solid propellant flume through a nozzle exit The analysis of the flume flow was done to obtain the mach number for the large and subscale rocket motor. The flume shapes on the non dimensional axises by the nozzle exit diameter was matched each other. The propellant grain of a subscale solid rocket motor was designed by the profile of pressure vs time obtained by the mach number of the flume shape. Some analyses of the theoretical solution were compared with the results of the ground static test.

액츄에이터에 사용되는 터어보 펌프의 터어빈을 구동시키기 위한 가스발생기용 고체연료 추진기관의 뒷마개부에 대하여 열/구조 해석을 수행하였다. 가스발생기는 장시간 연소모타로써 뒷마개에는 단열이 되어 있지 않은 배출튜브가 나사로 체결되어 고온, 고압의 연소가스에 의해 뒷마개 구조물에 작용하는 열 하중이 상당히 클 것으로 판단되므로, 최적설계를 위하여 뒷마개부의 열 및 구조해석을 수행하여 열하중의 영향을 예측하고 경량화를 위한 설계자료를 얻고자 하였다. 본 논문에서는 해석결과만을 언급하였으며 차후에 수행될 지상시험시에 해석치와 실험치를 비교한 후 좀 더 정확히 모델링을 하여 열/구조 해석 결과를 뒷마개부의 최적설계에 활용하고자 한다. 해석 결과 열하중이 연소관과의 조립부에는 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나, 열과 압력하중이 동시에 작용할 경우에 뒷마개 배출튜브의 조립부 근접한 곳에서 항복응력을 넘는 응력이 발생하여 정확한 구조 해석을 위해서는 탄소성해석을 수행하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.
