In this study, combustion tests using liquefying fuels with fast regression rate were performed. The chamber pressure oscillation was analyzed and hazards of combustion instabilities were examined. In case of Liquefying fuel with fast regression rate, the amplitude of chamber pressure oscillation was increased compared to the polymeric fuels. However, the critical combustion instability can hardly occur in liquefying fuel. This is because the rapid change of inner chamber diameter limits the amplification of chamber pressure oscillation. The chamber pressure oscillation due to the large increase of fuel production and the vortex shedding in pre-chamber violently occurs during combustion using single-port axial injector.

HTPB/AP/Al이 주성분인 2종의 혼합형 추진제를 대상으로 4종의 금속선(Ag, Cu, Al, Ni-Cr)윰 각각 삽입하여 금속선의 직경(0.1~0.8mm)과 연소 압력에 따른 금속선에 인접한 고체 추진제의 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)와 압력 지수(n)의 변화를 고찰하였다. 금속선을 추진제에 삽입함으로써 추진제의 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 는 크게 중가하였고, 1000 psia의 압력에서의 최대 6.59배 증가하였다. 그러나 녹는 점이 비교적 낮은 Al 선이나 Ag선은 금속선 직경이 작아짐에 따라 한계 직경에서 $r_w$가 급격히 감소하는 최대값이 존재하였다. 자연 발화 온도와 금속선으로 전달되는 열원인 연소 기체 불꽃 온도로 구성된 무차원군을 Buckingham pi 정리에 의해 구해진 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 에 대한 기존의 무차원 실험식에 추가로 적용하여 계산해 본 결과, 자연 발화 온도는 고려하지 않고 금속선의 녹는 점과 연소 기체의 불꽃 온도를 무시한 Hsing 의 실험식에 의해 계산된 결과보다 표준 편차가 45%이상 줄어듬을 알 수 있었다.

In the pressurized propellant feed system of liquid rocket, feed pressure is decided chamber pressure of normal combustion state. However, during ignition period the initial chamber pressure is atmosphere. So, it may have overflow, hard-start and even critical damage of engine. This paper proposes an improved propellant feed system for the stable combustion of liquid rocket. Hot test were already performed to verify the presented propellent feed system. The proposed propellant feed system uses two steps - pre and main combustion - to prevent large pressure increase and uses cavitating venturis for stable flow rate in whole combustion. This system feeds the flow rate lesser than the designed flow rate, so combustion pressure reached pre-combustion pressure. Cavitating venturis offer unique flow control capabilities at normal and abnormal combustion state, because flow rate is solely dependent on upstream absolute pressure and fluid properties, but independent on downstream condition.

Stabilization and reduction of combustion noise and NOx emission from dry low NOx combustor of GE MS7001F gas turbine were achieved. Dry low NOx gas turbines that adopt the lean premixed combustion technology frequently generate the flame instability and high NOx emissions if not adequately tuned. Dynamic pressure oscillation during the combustion mode transfer increased as ambient temperature decreased with frequency of 80㎐ and magnitude of 4-9 psi. Effects of both combustor tuning for uniform fuel flow with burner nozzles and fuel pre-filling into transfer fuel valves on stabilisation of the dry low NOx combustor were very significant. Dynamic pressure oscillation during the combustion mode change was decreased up to 2.5 psi. Also, NOx emission from GE7F DLN-1 combustor can be maintained as low as 35-43ppm (15% O$_2$) in base load operation of 150 MW.

2세대 바이오연료 생산에 적용되는 미세 조류의 열화학적 전환 특성을 열천칭 반응기를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 반응 온도 (500 - $800^{\circ}C$)와 수분 함량 (0-60wt.%)을 변수로 하였으며 미세조류로서 가장 널리 이용되는 클로렐라를 이용하였다. 대표적인 열화학적 전환 반응인 열분해, 부분 산화 (5%), 연소 반응을 고찰하였으며 실험 영역에서 반응온도 및 산소의 분압이 증가함에 따라 탄소 전환율이 증가하였으며 Shrinking-core model을 사용하여 반응 차수를 구하였다. 가스화 영역인 부분 산화 (5%) 조건에서의 activation energy와 frequency factor 값은 각각 19.60 kJ/mol, $2.47{\times}10-1\;s^{-1}$ 이었으며 산소 분압에 의한 반응 차수는 0.209 임을 확인하였다. 수분 함량에 따른 클로렐라의 반응 특성을 살펴보면, 수분 함량이 증가함에 따라 탄소 전환율과 반응성이 감소하는 경향이 발견되었다. 열분해의 경우, 건조 시료에 비하여 수분 함량이 늘어남에 따라 탄소 전환율과 반응성이 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 반면, 부분 산화(5%) 및 연소의 경우에는 건조 시료, 수분 함량 20, 40% 시료의 탄소 전환율과 반응성은 거의 일정하였다. 그러나 수분 함량이 60%가 되면서 탄소 전환율 및 반응성이 급격히 떨어졌다.

DUPIC 핵연료의 제작 조건, 특히 소결 조건에서 필요한 O/M값에 따른 산소포텐샬을 점결함모형을 이용하여 구하였다. 산소포텐샬 값은 순수 우라니아에서보다 크게 나타났고 주요 점결함 형태의 변화로 온도에 따라 엔트로피 값의 변화가 보였다. 연소중 DUPIC핵연료의 산소포텐샬 변화는 핵연료를 닫힌 계로 보고 물질 보존 및 평형법칙을 기초로 하여 구하였다. 산소포텐샬은 초기에 급격히 증가하지만 곧 일정한 값에서 매우 완만히 증가하게 된다. O/M값도 거의 변화가 없는데, 이는 Mo의 완충작용 때문이다. 따라서 초기 Mo의 화학적 형태- 금속 또는 산화물-가 DUPIC핵연료 O/M값 변화에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측되며 DUPIC핵연료 제작시 소결 조건에 유의할 필요가 있다.

The nitrogen oxides generated during combustion reactions have a great influence on the generation of acid rain and fine dust. As an NOx reduction method, exhaust gas recirculation combustion using Coanda nozzles capable of recirculating a large amount of exhaust gas with a small amount of air has recently been utilized. In this study, for the burner outlet with dual end opening, the use of a recirculation burner was investigated for the distribution of the pressure, streamline, temperature, combustion reaction rate and nitrogen oxides using computational fluid analysis. The gas mixed with the combustion air and the recirculated exhaust gas flow in the tangential direction of the circular cylinder burner, so that there is a region with low pressure in the vicinity of the fuel nozzle exit. As a result, a reverse flow is formed in the central portion of the burner near the center of the circular cylinder burner and the exhaust gas is discharged to the outside region of the circular cylinder burner. The combustion reaction occurs on the right side of the burner and the temperature and NOx distribution are relatively higher than those on the left side of the burner. It was found that the average NOx production decreased from an air flow ratio of 1.0 to 1.5. When the air flow ratio is 1.8, the NOx production increases abruptly. It is considered that the NOx production reaction increases exponentially with temperature when the air ratio is more than 1.5 and the NOx production reaction rate increases rapidly on the right-hand side of the burner.

Destructive examination of 14$\times$14 PWR fuel burned for 3 cycles are carried out to investigate the in-reactor fuel performance. The results obtained are as follows; 1) Grain growth is not occured at the fuel center. 2) Fuel density is decreased as the turnup increase, the density is down to 94.4% TD at burnup of 36,000 MWD/MTU. 3) Average thickness of oxide layer on cladding is less than 10 $\mu$m in the lower and middle section, while it is rapidly increased above 20 $\mu$m in the upper section. 4) The rate of hydride production in the cladding is large in the upper section than lower section and is related to the production of oxide on the cladding

The burning characteristics of HTPB/AP solid propellants were measured by closed bomb of internal volume of 200 cc and 700 cc up to 30,000 psia. The burning rates of closed bomb method showed good agreement with those of strand burner method between 1,000 psia and 5,000 psia, and the sharp increment of pressure exponent(n) around 6,000 psia as a result of testing in accordance with loading densities. The burning rate measured in 200 cc and 700 cc of internal volume of closed bomb agreed well without the relation of internal volume size.

An experimental investigation was conducted to clarify the combustion characteristics and merge characteristics of PMMA-GOX and PE-GOX hybrid motor using multi-port fuel grain configuration. The regression rate of multi-port fuel grain is higher than the regression rate of single-port fuel grain by thermal conduction and chamber pressure. The merge of multi-port has an effect on hybrid rocket performance by change of a combustion area.
