Reactive sprays of two propellant combinations(GOx/kerosene and $GN_2O$/ethanol) were observed and compared with each other as a basic research of visualizing supercritical combustion. A shadowgraph imaging method was used to visualize the reactive sprays, and shadowgraph images were converted to density gradient magnitude images to analyse the structure of reactive sprays. The gas-liquid interface of GOx/kerosene spray showed rougher boundary and steeper density gradient near the injector face than the $N_2O$/ethanol at similar combustion chamber pressure. Spray core length was calculated from averaged density gradient magnitude images and it was revealed that spray core length of GOx/kerosene was shorter than that of $GN_2O$/ethanol, although momentum flux ratio of GOx/kerosene propellant combination was lower.

지구온난화를 유발하는 온실가스의 대표적인 성분으로는 이산화탄소, 메탄, 아산화질소, CFC 등을 들 수 있으며, 주요 온실기체들에 대한 대기 중 농도가 과거보다 현저하게 증가되었음이 확인되고 있다. $N_2$O은 대기 중의 농도는 낮으나 상대적으로 지구온난화에 기여하는 정도가 $CO_2$에 비해 질량기준으로 310배가 높고, 생체 발생량이 크기 때문에 지구규모수지에 있어서 신중하게 고려되어야 한다. 온실기체의 국가배출자료는 기후변화협약과 관련된 국제협상 및 국내 저감대책 수립에 없어서는 안될 중요한 기초자료이다. (중략)

지구온난화를 유발하는 온실효과기체의 대표적인 성분으로는 이산화탄소, 메탄, 프레온류, 아산화질소 등을 들 수 있으며, 각 성분의 대기 중 농도는 산업화의 진행에 따라 지속적이고 철저한 증가 추세를 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 지구 온난화 현상은 점차 가속화되는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 온실효과기체가 현재와 같은 증가율로 증가하게 되면 2030년대에는 지구 전체의 평균기온이 현재에 비해 약 1.5-3.5$^{\circ}C$ 상승하게 되고, 기후 변동, 생태계의 교란, 해수면 상승, 토양침식 증가 등의 결과가 예측된다. (중략)

Nitrous oxide is known as green and safe propellant, and can be supplied by its own vapor pressure. So, many liquid propulsion research institutes and university laboratories use nitrous oxide as oxidizer of experimental liquid rocket engine. However, the unknown explosions occurred twice during hot fire experiments using subscale ethanol/nitrous oxide thruster. In this paper, we surmised that the explosions were caused by the decomposition of nitrous oxide in the injector body and the recondensation of nitrous oxide. Improvement and the safe handling methods are suggested.

대류권내에 존재하는 질소산화물(NO$_{y}$ )은 지구대기의 대기화학변화에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. NO$_{x}$는 대류권 하층에서 광화학 과정에 관여하여 탄화수소와 함께 오존(O$_3$)을 포함한 광화학스모그를 발생시키는 역할을 한다. 또한 질소산화물 중 아산화질소($N_2$O)는 매우 안정한 기체로서 NO$_{x}$처럼 대류권내에서 활발한 화학 반응에 관여하지는 않지만, 메탄(CH$_4$), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 오존(O$_3$) 등과 함께 지구온난화에 기여하는 온실기체로서 지구기후변화와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다.

In this study, the characteristic of the hybrid rocket motor with $LN_2O$(Liquid Nitrous oxide) was investigated experimentally. HDPE(High Density PolyEthlene) was used as fuel with different sized single port. When used $LN_2O$, combustion efficiency is lower than using $GN_2O$(Gas Nitrous oxide), because of completeness of vaporization of droplet and mixing. And regression rate was changed by different oxidizer phase. This behavior was considered that flame temperature and combustion of solid fuel front/end surface.

N₂O is hazardous atmosphere pollution matter which can damage the ozone layer and cause green house effect. There are many other nitrogen oxide emission control but N₂O has no its particular method. Preventing further environmental pollution and global warming, it is essential to control N₂O emission from industrial machines. In this study, the thermal decomposition experiment of N₂O gas mixture is conducted by using cylindrical reactor to figure out N₂O reduction and NO formation. And CHEMKIN calculation is conducted to figure out reaction rate and mechanism. Residence time of the N₂O gas in the reactor is set as experimental variable to imitate real SNCR system. As a result, most of the nitrogen components are converted into N2. Reaction rate of the N₂O gas decreases with N₂O emitted concentration. At 800℃ and 900℃, N₂O reduction variance and NO concentration are increased with residence time and temperature. However, at 1000℃, N₂O reduction variance and NO concentration are deceased in 40s due to forward reaction rate diminished and reverse reaction rate appeared.

The gas jet from a coaxial porous injector for two-phase flows is discharged radially from the porous surface, which encloses the center liquid jet. Several hot-firing test using ethanol/nitrous oxide propellants was conducted to analyze the effect of oxidizer/fuel ratio on the combustion performance, and the uncertainty analysis was performed for the results. The characteristic velocity was affected by oxidizer/fuel ratio similarly with the results of CEA calculation except that the maximum characteristic velocity was appeared in the stoichiometric ratio. The characteristic velocity efficiency was increased as the oxidizer/fuel ratio increases.

The blow-down oxidizer feed system with self-pressurizing $N_2O$ has more advantages than the regulated system. However, it is difficult to predict the exhaust flow rate because there exist two phases in the $N_2O$ tank - liquid phase and gas phase, and the properties of $N_2O$ in storage tank are varied continuously during blow-down. In this paper, a method that can analyse simply the blow-down oxidizer feed system is studied. The properties of saturated $N_2O$ are found from the NIST data base, and mass flow through the orifice is modeled as NHNE. Cold flow test with hybrid rocket combustor is performed for the comparison where the results should found from the good agreement.
