가스발생기와 같이 로켓모터에서 추력이 아닌 기체압 형태의 에너지를 일정한 시간동안 얻고자 하는 경우, 로켓모터의 크기 및 추진제 충전율을 고려하여 그레인 형태를 단면 연소형으로 선택할 수 있다. 단면 연소형 그레인을 가진 로켓모터는 그레인의 연소시, 일찍 연소된 부분의 라이너가 추진제 연소 화염에 노출되면서 표면부터 서서히 분해가 진행되며, 분해물질의 일부는 추진제에 포함된 산화제 성분에 의해 산화되어 기체화 될 수 있다. 산화제 성분이 충분치 않은 경우에는 고체 입자 형태로 추진제 연소 기체와 함께 배출되며, 이는 일차연기(primary smoke)의 일종으로 볼 수 있다. 가스 발생기에서 얻고자 하는 기체는 고체 입자가 포함되지 않은 깨끗한 기체형태인 경우가 대부분이며, 따라서, 무연 라이너 및 내열재의 연구가 필요하다.

The combustion instability analysis of solid propellants is generally done by the simplified governing equations for chemically inert condensed phase region with QSHOD assumption. Since the gas phase and surface reaction layer can be more rapidly relaxed to the external perturbations than the condensed phase, these regions are treated as quasi-steady manner in the analysis. In this paper, the classical ZN(Zeldovic-Novozhilov)approach was re-examined with the presence of radiation augmented burning enhancement in the combustion. Also, the surface reaction was assumed to partially absorb the incident radiant heat fluxes and pass the remaining to the chemically inert condensed phase. As a result of the analysis, the burning rate response function was obtained which consists of a pressure response function and a radiation response function. The response function was shown to be able to predict the results of T-burner tests.

Solid propellant combustion is investigated for its response to several imposed pressure histories. For this purpose, it is assumed that combustion takes place in a premixed gas evaporated from a uniform melt of solid propellant. One-dimensional unsteady problem is than numerically solved for a pressure coupling, with a steady state as an initial state. The results in response to pressure of finite sinusoidal waves show that unsteady mass fluxes are sometimes quite different from those predicted by the classical quasisteady burning law of Vieile. In addition, abnormal mass flux excursions are captured for a large pressure exponent and a lower melting point.

The AP/HTPB composite propellant is a common choice for solid rocket propulsion. The externally heated rocket via fires, for instance, can cause the energetic substance to ignite, and this may lead to a thermal runaway event marked by a severe explosion. In order to develop preventive measures to reduce the possibility of such accidents in propulsion systems, we investigate the ignition and initiation properties of AP/HTPB propellant.

This paper presents a design of solid rocket motor with high length to diameter applied composite propellant. Solid rocket motor with high L/D ratio can be generated erosive burning and combustion instability on longitudinal mode. Especially, Erosive burning can effectively prolong the initial pressure spike in some star grain motors. That is, the study shows design of grain, internal ballistics and structural analysis in order to perform system requirements.

Air-breathing Propulsion System is one of the promising propulsion systems because of low cost, easy storage, compactness and simplicity. A study of gas generator propellant for air-breathing propulsion system was performed in this paper. Amorphous Boron Powder was applied in propellant with various kinds of additives to determine combustion characteristics. And boron beads were made to apply them to the propellant. Combustion characteristics of propellant using amorphous boron powder and boron beads was compared.

Basically, in order to apply solid propellant as ignition source to high energy metal particle combustion system, we analyzed combustion characteristics of the HTPB/AP/Al, HTPE/AP/Al propellants by using a strand burner. The propellants were tested in a high-pressure windowed strand burner, which was pressurized up to 300 psia with pure argon gas. Strand burner was visualized with two quartz windows and ignition was accomplished by a 10 W $CO_2$ laser. The burning rate of propellant was measured with high-speed camera method for frame analysis and photodiode method for combustion time analysis. Emission spectrum was measured with spectrometer at 300 nm ~ 800 nm and 1500 nm ~ 5000 nm and then we analyzed species during propellant combustion.

Solid rocket motor that includes AL powder in propellant gets slag during static firing test. Slag is piled up to weak area in motor case and causes dangerous phenomena like explosion of motor. In this paper, It is shown that boots gap liner casting process was developed and static firing test was performed with better results.
