In this study, a coaxial swirl injector using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene was designed and combustion performance tests were performed to evaluate combustion characteristic according to mixture ratio. Spray characteristic of the injector was verified by cold flow test and combustion performances according to mixture ratio were evaluated by the characteristic exhaust velocity. Test results showed that the combustion efficiency at the design condition was about 95% and the pressure fluctuation was very small.

단일 알루미늄의 연소 모델을 사용하여 알루미늄 분말의 점화 과정에 대한 전산유체 해석 기법을 개발하였다. 유동의 계산은 Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes식을 사용하였으며, $k-{\epsilon}$ 난류모델을 적용하였다. 입자는 Eulerian-Lagrangian 방법을 사용하여 유동과 독립적으로 계산을 수행하였으며 상용 전산유체해석 프로그램인 Fluent 6.3을 사용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 단일 모델에서 사용한 대류 및 복사 열전달, 표면이상반응, 알루미늄의 용융열을 입자 가열원으로 고려하였다. 같은 조건을 사용하여 단일 입자 모델 계산과 전산유체해석을 수행하였으며, 두 결과는 5% 이내로 잘 일치 하였다. 이를 통해 전산유체해석에서 알루미늄의 점화를 모사할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A theoretical model for the calculation of chemical equilibrium composition of propellant combustion product is briefly presented for the performance analysis of monopropellant hydrazine rocket engine. Analysis result is compared to that of test and evaluation of 1-lbf class thruster and is scrutinized primarily from the view point of ammonia dissociation fraction. Chemical equilibrium composition and average molecular weight is additionally depicted according to the variation of propellant inlet pressures and the varying nozzle area ratio. The theoretical analysis is tried as a way of derivation of design parameters for mid- and large-thrust class of monopropellant rocket engines.

A ground hot-firing test(HFT) was accomplished to draw a correlation between the pressure oscillation intensity of combustion chamber and thrust response characteristics in a 70 N-class hydrazine thruster which has been developed recently. Monopropellant grade hydrazine was adopted as a propellant for the HFT, and combustion-chamber characteristic length, propellant injection pressure were applied as test parameters. It was confirmed that the decrease of thrust-chamber diameter and injection pressure augmented the pressure oscillation of stagnation chamber in the test condition specified, and the oscillation hampered the pulse response performance of test models.

An experimental investigation of a microthruster using hydrogen peroxide as a monopropellant is described. The study comprises of preparation method of silver as a catalyst and performance evaluation of a catalytic reaction chamber. Silver was reduced in $H_2$ environment at $500^{\circ}C$. The catalytic reaction chamber was tested to determine the optimum configuration of the catalyst bed. The catalyst bed was made of a glass wafer substrate sputtered with silver and had a length of 20 mm. The conversion rate was measured with various residence time, catalyst bed temperature, catalytic coated area.

Test results including the variation of propellant-inlet pressure, pulsed thrust, and environment vacuum with the accompanying thermal responses are presented for the pulse-mode operation of a set of monopropellant hydrazine thrusters producing $0.95lb_f$ of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia. The test data are reduced into the impulse bit, specific impulse, and force centroid that are the factors typically characterizing pulse-mode performance of small rocket engines. With a scrutiny to the performance parameters, their comparison to the reference criteria of 1 lbf standard monopropellant rocket engine are successfully made.

The combustion test of LMP-103S, a propellant based on ADN(Ammonium Dinitramide), was performed with a 50 mN scale micro-thruster. The micro-thruster was made with photosensitive glass using MEMS manufacturing process. $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was used as a catalyst to decompose LMP-103S. After injecting 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide into combustion chamber to preheat the catalyst, LMP-103S was injected for the combustion test. As a result, the ignition and combustion of LMP-103S was confirmed in platinum catalyst environment with the combustion chamber temperature going up to $650^{\circ}C$.

The rocket grade hydrogen peroxide has been widely used as a monopropellant in propulsion systems. In the present paper, we described an experimental study of a catalytic reactor that employs two stage catalyst beds to enhance the low temperature performance of the reactor. $K_2MnO_4$ was chosen as the catalyst for the initial stage of the reactor bed for its superior behavior in the low temperature regime. LSC was used for the catalyst of the second stage of the reactor. The gas generator with combined catalyst beds was built and tested to exhibit high decomposition efficiency over 90% and successful cold-start characteristics.
