In this study, we carried out the study on the combustion characteristics of HTPB/AP propellants with Al and Zr as fuel metal in order to develop the solid propellant with high burning rate. The major combustion characteristics of propellant were investigated as measuring of the burning rate and pressure exponent, and the HTPB/AP solid propellants were prepared with introducing Butacene as burning rate catalyst for the enhancement of burning rate. The propellant with Al and Zr was demonstrated the improvement of propellant performance and combustion characteristic.

In this study, the current researches and the developing trend of the high burning rate solid propellants were briefly introduced and the effects of burning rate modifiers in the propellants on the combustion properties were reviewed. At the same time, bis(ethylenediamine)copper perchlorate(BECP) has been prepared as a burning rate modifier, and the burning characteristics were investigated in Butacene/AP propellants. The results showed that the metal complex, BECP, can increase remarkably the burning rate of high burning rate Butacene/AP propellants.

The study for the combustion characteristics of propellants for nozzleless boosters was carried out. The metal fuels of Al and Zr were introduced into solid propellant formulations in order to enhance the density-specific impulse and the high burning rate with low pressure exponent was investigated as the major combustion characteristic of propellant to design nozzleless boosters. The burning rate of Zr-containing propellant was higher than Al-containing propellant and, $13{\mu}m$ Zr-containing propellant exhibited the burning rate of 35 mm/s (at 1000 psi)and pressure exponent of 0.3282. The benefit of using Al and Zr-containing propellant into nozzleless boosters was demonstrated in these results.

A modified ignition and growth(I&G) model which is necessary to simulate the combustion phenomena of energetic materials and an analytical model determining the unknown parameters of the reaction rate equation are proposed. The modified I&G model sustains important physical implications with overcoming some problems of previous rate equations. This rate model consists of ignition term which represents the formation of the hotspot due to void collapse and growth term which means the shock to detonation transition phenomena. Also, the theoretical model is used to investigate the combustion characteristics of certain energetic materials before running Hydrocode by pre-determination of unknown parameter, $b,\;G,\;x,\;I$. The analytical model provides efficient and highly accurate results rather than previous method which simulated the unconfined-rate-stick via the numerical means.

초소형 공중발사체 설계 시 하이브리드 모터의 적용가능성에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. HTPB/LOX를 추진제로 하여 마차바퀴형 연료 그레인, 산화제 탱크 가압방식을 사용하였고, 성능특성을 계산하기 위하여 하이브리드 연료의 연소율이 일정하다고 가정 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 임무는 중량 3.5kg의 나노위성을 근지점 고도 200km, 원지점 고도 1,500km의 타원궤도로 진입시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 로켓의 1단 부분에 관한 것으로 1단의 발사속도는 M=1.3, 발사고도는 12km, 연소종료 고도는 40km이다. 1단에 대한 페이로드 중량은 127.5kg이고, 속도증가분($\Delta$V)은 3,330m/s이다. 모선은 F-4E를 사용하였고 모선의 특성상 발사체의 총 중량이 1,000kg이하로 제한되고 길이와 직경이 5m${\times}$5m로 제한되나 1단에 대한 길이의 제한조건은 현재까지 명확히 정립되지 않은 상태이다. 설계과정에서의 변수는 연료 그레인 포트 개수, 초기 산화제 플럭스, 연소실 압력을 사용했고, 설계 제한조건은 추진제 중량, 평균 비추력, 평균 추력, 연소시간, 1단 길이, 직경, 연소시간이고, 이들의 범위는 모선의 특성과 초소형 공중발사체의 임무특성에 맞게 설정하였다.

This study aimed at preparing the solid propellants featuring high pressure exponent available for throttleable rocket system development. The combustion properties of solid propellant based on PCP as a prepolymer were investigated with the different nitramine oxidizer, HMX and HNIW. As a main oxidizer, HNIW could deliver higher burning rate, specific impulse and flame temperature than HMX. In addition, the introduction of AP as a co-oxidizer in PCP/Nitramine propellants could enhance burning rate, specific impulse and flame temperature, showing the lower pressure exponent with increasing the content of fine-sized AP, total solids and plasticizer. Moreover, we examined the temperature sensitivity on burning rate of propellants between 150 psia and 2,500 psia.

The definition of burning admittance and conventional n-$\tau$ stability rating technique are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instabilities inside the cylindrical combustion chamber. Perturbed flow variables are written as the sum of fluctuating and time-averaged mean quantities on the assumption that the terms of the order higher than unity are sufficiently small, hence linearized governing equations could be formulated. Chamber admittances up and downstream of the flame front calculated with appropriate boundary conditions result in the burning admittance and corresponding n-$\tau$ neutral stability curve. Configurational and operational design factors are tested to detect the unstable wave-induced LOX-RP1 combustion instabilities. Operational design factors, e.g. pressure or O/F ratio, appear less influential to drive high frequency instability while the location of the flame front and configurational factors enhance or deteriorate the stabilities strongly. Conclusively, LOX-RP1 combustion inside the cylindrical combustion chamber is apt to be unstable against long residence time and shortened chamber length.

Laser는 공간적 시간적 가간섭성이 매우 우수하며 단색성, 고출력, 단시간 Pulse등의 특성을 지 니고 있어서 각종의 계측, 통신, 가공, 정보처리, 의료, 농학 등의 다방면에 널리 응용되고 있으나 여기서는 Laser유족계에 대하여 설명하였다. 특히 지금까지 측정불가능하였던 연소현상에 대 해서도 LDV를 활용하여 좋은 연구결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 아직도 연소현상에 대한 LDV의 응용은 정치 Burner화염에 한정되어 있으며 앞으로도 많은 발전의 여지가 있는 부분이다. 그 중에서도 밀폐연소실내에서의 화염면전후의 유속계측, 전화화염의 화염전파속도, 연소속도 등에 관한 연구, 그리고 과도적으로 변동하는 유속, 화염온도, 연소실내 압력의 동시계측에 의한 각종 상관관계연구 및 난류화염유속의 계측 등금후 LDV를 이용한 실험의 발전이 매우 기대되는 바이다.

램제트 엔진은 초음속에서 공기가 충격파를 통해 아음속으로 속도가 낮아지고 압력이 증가하는 램 압축 현상을 이용하되 압축기를 사용하지 않고 아음속 상태에서 연소하는 구조로 되어 있다. 따라서 각 부품의 성능은 독립적이지 않으며 전체적인 성능을 규명하기 위해서는 공기 흡입구와 연소실, 연료 분사체계 등의 상호작용을 고려하여 유동의 특성과 그에 따른 연소현상의 특성을 함께 고려해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 속도 범위 Mach 5이내, 고도 30km이내의 운항조건을 갖는 유도 무기에 장착될 램제트 엔진 개발을 위한 연구의 첫 번째 단계로써, 램제트 연소실내의 유동장해석을 실험과 수치해석 두 분야로 나누어 수행하였다.
