A two-dimensional thermal response and ablation analysis code for predicting charring material ablation and shape change on solid rocket nozzle is presented. For closing the problem of thermal analysis, Arrhenius' equation and Zvyagin's ablation model are used. The moving boundary problem are solved by remeshing-rezoning method. For simulation of complicated thermal protection systems, this method is integrated with a three-dimensional finite-element thermal and structure analysis code through continuity of temperature and heat flux.

The concept design of Flexible Seal for thrust vector control of solid motor was performed. Through the concept design, the optimum pivot point of flexible seal, cross-section configuration of flexible seal and thermal protection system from combustion gas was decided. The pivot point of flexible seal has aft pivot type and cross-section view is conical type. For satisfying a spring torque rate, the shear modulus of rubber has the value of under about 0.6MPa and failure shear stress has over about 2.5MPa.

In this study, the influence of mass flow rate on the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine nozzle stage is investigated. A realistic three-dimensional numerical model, which is based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, is developed for the steam phase. The comprehensive conservation laws and a kinetic model for steam are investigated. With two different models for the three-dimensional geometry of the nozzle stage, the pressure and temperature distributions, velocity, Mach number. and Markov energy loss coefficient are calculated. A maximum efficiency of 96.66％ is found at a mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s in model A. In model B, a maximum efficiency of 97.32％ is found at a rate of 1.6 kg/s. It is determined that the isentropic nozzle efficiency increases as the Markov energy loss coefficient decreases through a nearly linear relationship.

The Expansion-Deflection(E-D) nozzle is a nozzle that has a performance gain through the altitude compensation effect by changing the effective area within the nozzle according to the altitude. An E-D nozzle has been known to reduce the length of the nozzle and achieve the payload gain of the launch vehicle. Due to the potential advantages of an E-D nozzle, related research has been carried out in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Europe etc. In the UK, the flow characteristics of the E-D nozzle and the performance comparison with the dual-bell nozzle which is altitude compensation nozzle were studied. In order to understand the transition characteristics of the E-D nozzle in DLR, the transition characteristics according to the nozzle pressure ratio change were analyzed. In Europe, numerical study using the E-D nozzle concept on upper stage of the launch vehicle Ariane 5 ESC-B was carried out to confirm the possibility of payload gain according to the nozzle length reduction. In this paper, research trends of an E-D nozzle performed outside the country are classified and analyzed according to their characteristics and utilized as basic data of E-D nozzle research in the future.

The skill that utilizes atomization of the liquid has been widely used in the field of industry and engineering. Though there are dozens of methods to make atomization, the pressure type injection nozzle is frequently used in washing of parts, pastourization and painting because it has relatively simple system. This study is to reveal the characteristics of atomizing formed by three different types of the pressure type injection nozzle. We measured velocity and diameter of droplet to compare and analyze characteristic of each nozzle. In case of velocity, atomization of hollow-cone nozzle is irregular than others and change of radial direction is especially large. Atomization of flat nozzle is nearly uniform. In case of diameter, atomization of hollow-cone nozzle is increased rapidly, as measurement point become more distant from the center of nozzle. Atomization of flat nozzle has the most fixed magnitude. Accordingly, full-cone nozzle can be used irrespective of the form of subject and hollow-cone nozzle is proper to the occasion to spray large and smooth subject. Also, flat nozzle is proper to the occasion to spray a part of subject and long groove.

A study has been conducted on the bulging process of liquid rocket engine nozzle which is essential to the manufacturing regenerative cooling combustion chamber. Mechanical properties of the material used for the bulging were experimentally obtained by tension tests. Deformation of the bulged nozzle was confirmed by a structural analysis. The developed bulging process and the deformation analysis result were confirmed by manufacturing of the bulged nozzle specimens and the bulging test. There has been a bulging failure among 7 bulged specimens due to the necking of the material. The cause of necking was investigated by comparing microstructure of the material. The investigation has revealed grain size of the material has considerable effect on the occurrence of the necking.

The nozzle length to diameter ratio of real diesel nozzles is about 2-8 which is not long enough for a fully developed and stabilized flow. The characteristics of the flow such as turbulence at the nozzle exit which affect the development of the spray can be enhanced by impinging the flow inside nozzle. The flow details inside the impinging nozzles have been investigated both experimentally and numerically. The mean velocities, the fluctuating velocities, and discharge coefficients in the impinging inlet nozzles, round inlet nozzle, and sharp inlet nozzle were obtained at various Reynolds number. The developing feature of the external spray were photographed by still camera and the droplet sizes and velocities were also measured by laser Doppler technique. The spray angle was greater and the droplet sizes near the spray axis were smaller with the impinging flow inside nozzle.
