The present work was conducted to achieve the better understanding of the performance analysis technique for the expander type air turbo ramjet engine. For this purpose, the performance analysis was carried out using a small engine(8.0kN thrust) with two types of fuels. From this analysis, at the same input condition, the thrust of methane-fueled engine was 25% lower than that of hydrogen. In addition, the case of methane shows the inapplicable engine performance cycle.(i.e., The compressor work exceeds the turbine output power) These results come mainly from the different heating value of each fuel and specific heat. This analysis also shows that, to build a same performance cycle as the hydrogen case, the methane-fueled engine requires increased air and fuel flow rates, increased turbine expansion ratio, and decreased compressor pressure ratio.

항공기용 원동기는 항공기를 추진시키기 위한 동력장치이다. 항공기가 추진력을 얻기 위해서는 프로펠러를 회전시켜 대량의 공기를 뒤로 가속시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법과, 단순히 배기 가스를 뒤로 고속분사시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 피스톤 엔진은 전자를, 터보 제트 엔진은 후자를 대표하고 있는데 두 가지 방법을 절충하여 터빈으로 프로펠러를 회전시키는 터보 프롭엔진과, 헬리콥터의 로우터를 회전시키는 터보 샤프트 엔진도 있다. 또 터보 제트 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진의 증간성능을 꾀한 터보 팬 엔진이 있는데 효율이 아주 좋기 때문에 급속히 발 전되어 항공기용 원동기의 대명사격으로 현재 군용이나 민간기용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최 근에는 터보팬 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진을 절충한 새로운 터보 프롭 APT (advanced turbo prop) 엔진의 실용화가 추진되고 있다. 이상과 같은 종류의 엔진 이외에도 항공기용 원동기에는 극히 제한된 용도에 쓰이는 램 제트와 펄스 제트 엔진 그리고 로켓 엔진 등이 있다. 원동기는 그 용 도에 따라 개발, 활용되는 것이기 때문에 오랜 역사를 지닌 피스톤 엔진은 아직까지도 경항공 기용 원동기의 주류를 이루고 있고, 앞으로도 터보 프롭 엔진과 더불어 나름대로 계속 활용될 것으로 전망된다.

New concept ramjet propulsion system with liquid bipropellant rocket using "Green Propellant" hydrogen peroxide for launch stage is proposed. In this novel concept, hydrogen peroxide gas generator produces hot oxygen at launch stage and kerosene injects to this jet in combustor. For basic study of this new concept ramjet system, investigation of auto-ignition characteristics and combustion of decomposed hydrogen peroxide and kerosene was conducted. In various test cases, auto-ignition and stable combustion was verified. The combustion temperature of 400°C and Fuel/Oxidizer mixture ratio of 0.6 were the limit of auto ignition. Through the experiment results, the possibility of novel concept combined propulsion system using hydrogen peroxide gas generator is ascertained.

In present study, a supersonic inlet for dual mode ramjets or RBCC/TBCC engines with a wide range of flight Mach numbers is designed. A conical variable inlet configuration is chosen for the inlet design. Geometric relations with angles of compression cones and conical shock waves are used for the design of the inlet configuration. The performance of the supersonic inlet is confirmed by the numerical analysis. The capture area ratio is maintained around 100% from Mach 3 to 8 conditions.

In order to limit the temperature rise of the structure to a certain level or less while maintaining the aerodynamic shape of solid rocket nozzle by effectively blocking a large amount of heat introduced by the combustion gas of high temperature and high pressure, the heat-resistant materials such as C/C composite having excellent ablation resistance are applied to a position in contact with the combustion gas, and the heat-insulating materials having a low thermal diffusivity are applied to the backside thereof. SiC/SiC composite, which has excellent oxidation resistance, is applied to gas turbine engines and contributes to increase engine performance due to light weight and heat-resistant improvement. Scramjet, flying at hypersonic speed, has been studying the development of C/SiC structures using the endothermic fuel as a coolant because the intake air temperature is very high. In this paper, characteristics, application examples, and development trends of various heat-resistant composites used in solid rocket nozzles, gas turbine engines, and ramjet/scramjet propulsions were discussed.

In this paper, prototype dynamic modeling scheme to control ramjet propulsion systems were proposed. From the physical understandings of engine system, a typical 2nd-order system model was applied to simulate the dynamic characteristics of fuel supply system. The shock location varience in diffuser to chamber pressure fluctuation is calculated so that the out of phase between two signals was observed.

The performance of ramjet engine is closely associated with a supersonic intake. In this study, experiments and computational simulations were conducted to observe the internal flow characteristics of the supersonic intake. The supersonic intake which have self-starting characteristics was designed and manufactured. The flow characteristics was analyzed from the experimental results using the supersonic wind tunnel testing and computational results using RANS equation and Menter's SST turbulence model. The detailed visualization results were suggested for the pseudo-shock wave of stable operations and for the inlet buzz phenomenon of unstable operations.
