In the previous study, we have developed an ultrasonic measurement system and analysis technique for borning rate testing of solid propellants using ultrasound. And then, using the developed system, burning rate of composite propellants were measured. So, in this study, we performed measurement of double base solid propellant, which has non-linear homing rate as pressure increasing, using the developed system in order to evaluate capability of ultrasonic method. Furthermore, accuracy of measured homing rates using ultrasound was verified by comparison to homing rate measured by the strand burner method.

We have analyzed the temperature and humidity aging test results of a composite solid propellant. The temperature aging test was performed to evaluate the storage life of a propellant, while the humidity aging test could provide the hygroscopicity of Ammonium Perchlorate(AP) exposed to .elative humidity (RH) 10, 30, $50\%$ environment. A specimen was used in the temperature test, and a block of propellant from the actual motor was used in the humidity test. We report that the 4-month storing at 60 degree is equivalent to the 10-year 60 degree condition. The composite solid propellant with HTPB binder showed signs of hardening with time lapse but the effect of humidity up to RH $50\%$ was not noticeable.

The propellant tile and crack which account for the greatest proportion of solid rockets are profoundly affected by viscosity and mechanical properties of solid propellant. In this paper solid propellant with nitrate ester polyester(NEPE) system has been researched for the viscosity, mechanical properties and burning properties with size and mixing ratio of RDX. the viscosity of propellant was changed significantly depending on the size of RDX and mixing ratio, and mechanical properties of NEPE system propellant were also varied. Considering both lower viscosity and stable mechanical properties, the optimum size and mixing ratio of RDX can be identified as the main factors to the NEPE system propellant.

Environmental problem of the solid propellants is an issue of growing importance in solid rocket. For examples, ammonium perchlorate (AP) as an solid propellants oxidizer could create a poisonous gas and atmospheric pollutions, such as HCl. Among the several oxidizers, N-guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) is an effective candidate substance for eco-friendly oxidizer, which has high performance, pressure exponent, and eco-friendly smog during combustion for solid propellant of gas generator. In this paper, the theoretical analysis of characteristics as a gas generator propellant, propellant manufacturing processability, propellant hardness properties and combustion characteristics were studied.

The solid propellants have been most widely used for the military rockets or missiles all over the world and the efforts have been focused on the enhancement of propellant performance up to 1980s. lately in company with the distinguished development in the intelligence and communication technology, the more accurate guidance as well as maneuverability has been required in the military weapon system. To meet the requirements such as a high maneuverability, insensitiveness, or stealth of missile, the researches have been doing to develop the solid propellants which have a quality of ultra-fast burning rate, insensitiveness, low signature or the like.

Ultrasonic method is applied for measuring burning rates of the solid propellants, since it can measure burning rates as a function of pressure in a single test performed. However, to replace the stand burner method by the ultrasonic method, it is necessary to verify of its accuracy and reliability. In this study, we investigated the performance of the ultrasonic method for burning rate measurements by comparison to the strand burner results. Furthermore, we investigated the relation between the attenuations of solid propellants and data scattering in the measured burning rates.

3단형 과학로켓의 고체모타의 내부 유동을 추진제의 연소에 따라 내부형상이 변화하는 과정에 대해 수치해석 하였다. 추진제는 표면에서 균일하게 연소된다고 가정하였으며 연소거리가 0.1mm, 30mm, 60mm, 90mm인 경우의 고체모타 내부 물리량 변화를 관찰하였다. 연소가 진행되며 잠입형 노즐의 위 부분에 큰 재순환 영역이 생기는 것이 관찰되었으며 노즐에 작용하는 압력 힘을 구하여 본 결과 노즐부의 모멘트 힘은 크지 않은 것으로 판명되었다.(중략)

고체 추진제 연소불안정에 관한 해석은 준-정상 1차원 해석인 QSHOD(Quasi-Steady Homogcneous One-Dimension)에 의하여 단순화된 지배방정식을 이용하여 응축영역을 해석하는 것이 일반적이다. 이때 외부교란에 대한 기체영역과 표면반응 영역의 응답은 화학반응이 발생하지 않는 고체영역의 응답에 비하여 매우 빠르므로 준-정상적인 거동을 한다. 본 연구에서는 복사열전달에 의한 열속(heat flux)이 고체 추진제의 표면에 존재하며 이 중의 일부가 고체영역에서 흡수될 때 표면에서의 선형교란을 고려한 ZN(Zeldovich-Novozhilov) 방법을 이용하여 연소불안정 현상을 이론적으로 해석하여 연소불안정 현상을 설명할 수 있는 연소 응답함수를 구하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 응답함수를 해석함으로써, Zebrowski등$^{(5)}$ 에 의하여 얻어진 복사열 교란에 대한 응답함수가 과소 평가된 응답특성을 나타내고 있음을 알았다. 또한 응답함수의 고유불안정성을 판별하는 민감계수 r과 k의 영역의 해석으로부터 SOn등$^{(6)}$ 에 의하여 밝혀진 안정 경계선의 안정한 영역보다 본 연구에서 구한 안정 경계영역이 줄어드는 경향을 보여주고 있다. 이것은 (6)에서 과소 평가된 복사열전달의 영향을 수정한 결과 때문이다.

Internal Ballistic modeling and performance prediction for solid propellant micro thruster was performed with heat loss to the chamber wall as an important factor of miniaturization. Simple l-D end-burner type thruster and general HTPB-AP type composite propellant were selected for computation model. The results showed that the performance loss with the heat loss to the surroundings becomes larger as the surface-to-volume ratio is increased. In this case, the total impulse was reduced about 3% of the case in adiabatic condition.
