Ejector system can induce the secondary flow or affect the secondary chamber pressure by both shear stress and pressure drop which are generated in the primary jet boundary. Ejectors are widely used in a range of applications such as a turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system and a high altitude test facility for rocket engine, pressure recovery system, desalination plant and ejector ramjet etc. The primary interest of this study is to set up an design procedure on the configuration and operating condition of multi-ejector for the various high altitude simulation.

Characteristics of high temperature rocket nozzle flow is discussed along with the aspects of computational analysis. Three methods of nozzle flow analysis, frozen-equilibrium, shifting-equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches, were discussed, those were coupled with the methods of computational fluid dynamics code. A chemical equilibrium code developed for the analysis of general hydrocarbon fuel was coupled with three approaches of nozzle flow analysis. The approaches were used for the performance prediction of KSR-III Rocket, and compared with the theoretical results from NASA CEA (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications) code.

액체 로켓용 충돌분사형 인젝터는 구조가 매우 간단하면서 고유량의 연료를 분사시킬 수 있기 때문에 여러 엔진에 응용된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 인젝터의 특성을 산업용 보일러에 적용하기 위한 기초 실험 및 수치 계산을 수행하였다. 충돌분사 노즐로부터 형성되는 분무의 분포 특성을 실험적으로 측정하였고 이를 실제 조건에 모사하기 위해 수치 계산을 하여, 두 결과를 비교하여보았다. 이로부터 보일러의 효율과 공해물질 저감에 영향을 가져오는 액적의 미립화 특성을 향상시킬수 있는 연료 분사 조건을 제시하였다.

This paper describes the performance characteristics of flow and structure in the post-chamber and nozzle. Using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, the stress and compressible flow fields in the downstream of the post chamber and nozzle were numerically calculated. Besides, the stress characteristics at the wall of post-chamber and nozzle were investigated under different thickness (2mm, 5mm and 10mm) of the nozzle wall. The stress pattern demonstrates that the strength of nozzle wall having 10mm is safer than that of 5mm or 2mm according to von Mises stress irrespective to the pressure field

This paper presents the experimental examinations and statistical quantitative analysis of the correlation between the cumulative counts of acoustic emission(AE) during plastic deformation periods of the welding and the tensile strength and other properties of the tube-to-tube welded joints of O.D. 30mm (I.D 18mm) nozzle steel. This is a new approach which attempts finally to develop real-time quality monitoring system for friction welding. And this study results in practical possiblility of real-time quality control more than 100% joint efficiency showing good weld no micro structural defects.

The basic research on AKM(Apogee Kick Motor) for space launch vehicle was carried out. AKM which will be used as 3rd stage solid rocket motor in 3-stage Korean Sounding Rocket(III) has been developing. KM is a solid rocket motor using composite propellant based on HTPB and is composed of composite motor case and submerged nozzle. To develop KM rocket motor satisfing a given set of requirement, firstly the full-scale KM with diameter 520mm was designed, then sub-scale motors reduced about 60% were manufactured and tested. Full-scale ground firing test is accomplished two times.

로켓 조종장치는 크게 추력방향 조종(TVC, Thrust Vector Control) 장치, 측면추력조종(Lateral Thrust Control) 장치 그리고 공기역학 조종면으로 분류할 수 있다. 조종장치의 공통된 특징은 모터가 작동하거나 유도탄이 비행할 때만 타의 효과가 발생한다는 점이다. 그러므로 조종장치를 개발하기 위해서는 이상류 초음속 유동이나 삼음속 이상의 자유유동(freestream)을 지상에서 효과적으로 모의할 수 있는 지상 시험장치가 필요하다. 이 시험장치에는 초음속 풍동과 유동 시험장치(cold-flow test stand), 그리고 6분력 트러스트 스텐드가 포함된다. 삼성항공은 우주용 추진기관의 성능을 지상에서 간단한 장치를 구현하여 시험할 수 있는 모의연소 시험장치, 노즐유동에 포함된 고체입자를 직접 수집할 수 있는 고체입자 포집장치 등 각종 시험장치를 제작하였다. 이를 바탕으로 차세대 전술유도탄의 핵심기술가운데 하나인 조종장치와 이를 효과적으로 개발하기 위한 지상 시험장치 확보에 착수하고 있다.

평판에 충돌하는 초음속 세트에 관한 연구는 수직/단거리 이·착륙기의 발진, 미사일 발사시스템, 다단계 로켓 분리 등 실제적인 분야에 응용되고 있으며 고온의 충돌제트와 화염에 의한 가열문제와 관련된 산입분야에서도 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 과소팽창하는 초음속 제트가 평판에 충돌할 때 Barrel shock, exhaust gas boundary, Mach disk, contact surface, reflected shock, plate shock, stagnation bubble 등 매우 복잡한 유동 구조가 표면에 나타나는데 이것은 평판으로부터 반사된 shock과 free jet의 충격파 구조 사이에서의 상호간섭 때문이다. 노즐로부터 방출되는 고속, 고온가스가 주변 장비 등에 부딪힐 때 발생하는 이러한 복잡한 간섭현상의 연구는 관련 주변장비 설계 및 상황예측에 필수적인 자료를 제공하며 이해를 도와준다.

An ignitor for the initiation of burning propellants becomes one of the most critical components for the operation of liquid rocket engines. The important phenomenon of the igniter is thermoacoustic resonance. This paper mainly includes experimental results on thermoacoustic resonance phenomenon from distance between nozzle and resonance tube. The ultimate goal is to develop an ignitor capable of multiple ignitions based on research results about the usage of the thermoacoustic resonance phenomenon.

Adopting an engine igniter with high efficiency and ignition performance is essential for reliable operation of liquid rocket engines. In this study, we developed a spark torch igniter for a 450 N-scale methane-oxygen liquid rocket engine by conducting numerical analyses, igniter manufacturing and validation. Specifically, we conducted a parametric study for maximizing the enthalpy at the igniter exit, specifically by adjusting the mass flow rate, nozzle area ratio, fuel-oxidizer mixture ratio, and the igniter length-to-diameter. The heat transferred via the igniter nozzle exit was computed using 3-dimensional numerical simulations. We also manufactured and tested the igniter based on a deduced design to confirm ignition performance of the designed spark torch igniter. The igniter developed through this study could contribute to the development of practical propulsion systems such as upper-stage engines of small launch vehicles.
