Ground hot-firing tests were conducted to analyze the combustion performance according to the characteristic lengths 1.37 m, 1.71 m, and 2.06 m of the combustion chamber in 200 N-class GCH4-LOx small rocket engine. Thrust, specific impulse, and characteristic velocity at the steady-state could be obtained as the key performance parameters of the rocket engine. The performance characteristics acquired through the test were compared and analyzed with the theoretical performance calculated from CEA analysis. Observation of the influence of characteristic length on the combustion performance indicates that an optimal characteristic length shall remain between 1.71 m and 2.06 m.

Performance dispersion in the engine should be considered to predict the flight accuracy of a launch vehicle. A dispersion estimation method was presented with a LOx/Kerosene gas generator cycle engine. The orifices in the propellant supply lines in the engine were assumed to be used for calibration of the performance and the required pressure drops were acquired. The dispersions after calibration were quantified also.

우주발사체의 2단에 사용가능하며, 케로신과 액체산소를 추진제로 하는 10톤급 액체로켓엔진 (LRE)에 대해 노즐 설계 변수와 성능 특성과의 관계를 파악하고 노즐 성능의 개선을 위해 노즐 형상에 따른 성능 해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 10톤급 LRE의 형상을 설계하였으며, 기존의 일차원 성능해석 방법과는 달리, 2차원 유동 해석 결과를 이용한 성능 해석을 수행하기 위해 노즐 성능해석용 코드를 개발하였으며, 액체 산소/메탄 엔진 (LNG 엔진)에 대한 지상 연소시험 결과와 비교, 검토하여 노즐 성능해석 코드를 검증하였다.

For a design of rocket engine nozzle, chemical equilibrium analysis which shares the same numerical characteristics with frozen flow analysis can be used as an efficient design tool for predicting maximum thermodynamic performance of the nozzle. 10 this study, a chemical equilibrium flow analysis code was developed for the design of hydrocarbon fueled rocket engines. 10 oder to understand the thermochemical characteristics occurring in a nozzle through the expansion process, such as recombination of chemical components and the accompanying energy recovery, chemical equilibrium flow analysis was carried out for the KSR-III rocket engine nozzles together with frozen flow and non-equilibrium flow analyses. The performance evaluation based on the present KSR-III nozzle flow analyses has provided an understanding of the thermochemical process in the nozzle and additionally, it has confirmed that the newly designed nozzle shape modified to have a reduced exit area ratio is an adequate design for obtaining an increased ground thrust.

A set of preliminary design parameters for the bipropellant rocket engine using liquid methane-fuel as green propellant were derived through a theoretical performance analysis. Chemical equilibrium analysis utilizing CEA was conducted for the prediction of combustion performance: combustion characteristics according to the O/F ratio and chamber pressure variation were investigated. For a determination of chamber-characteristic length, the vaporization time of fuel-droplet with various performance parameters was calculated by applying Spalding's 1-D droplet vaporization model. Finally, the preliminary design specification of methane-bipropellant rocket engine, which is to be performance-tested under the ground firing condition, was proposed.

국가우주개발의 중장기 계획에 따른 우주 발사체 개발의 일환으로, 한반도 대기상태측정 등을 위한 고성능 과학관측로켓의 국산화를 위하여 항공우주연구소를 중심으로 여러 기관에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 액체로켓을 주 추진체으로 삼고 있기 때문에 로켓의 안정적인 연소와 성능 향상이야말로 발사체 개발에 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 액체로켓의 경우, 초기점화는 고체시동장치 또는 액체시동장치에 의한 방법 등으로 구분될 수 있다. 본 연구는 액체시동장치 중 hypergolic으로 초기점화를 하고 뒤이어 주추진제(LOX/kerosene)를 내보내어 주연소를 할 수 있는 Unlike impinging Quadlet injector(3 on 1)의 연소성능 이해와 예측을 위해 Cold flow test를 기초로 수행되었다.

유도미사일용 추진기관으로 흔히 쓰이는 고체 로켓 모타의 경우 단순 추력형보다 복합 추력형 로켓을 사용하는 것이 효과적인 경우가 많다. 특히 발사초기에 높은 추력이 필요하고 그 후는 지속적이며 상대적으로 낮은 추력만을 요하는 무기체계의 경우 일반적으로 부스터(booster)와 서스테이너(sustainer) 로켓을 별도로 제작/작동시켜 임무를 수행하나 이를 하나의 추진기관으로 통합하여 두 단계의 추력을 동시에 실현하는 이중 추력형 로켓 모타를 이용하게 되면 많은 이점이 있다.

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.
