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.

The thrust Control in Solid Propellant Rocket is incomparably limited than that in Liquid Propellant Rocket. Because it is fixed that section to relate a combustion, that is a natural result. The control of a thrust directions in a Solid Propellant Rocket is not efficient for the purpose of a Solid Propellant Rocket. But it is a problem to solve that a weight on board should increase through the maximization of the thrust in a Solid Propellant Rocket.

Three methods of nozzle flow analysis, frozen-equilibrium, shifting-equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches, were used to rocket nozzle flow, those were coupled with the methods of computational fluid dynamics code. For a design of high temperature rocket nozzle, chemical equilibrium analysis which shares the same numerical characteristics with frozen flow analysis can be an efficient design tool for predicting maximum thermodynamic performance of the nozzle. In this study, shifting-equilibrium flow analysis was carried out for the 30 $ton_f$-class KARl liquid rocket engine nozzle together with frozen flow. The performance evaluation based on the 30 $ton_f$-class KARl LRE nozzle flow analyses will provide an understanding of the thermochemical process in the nozzle and performances of nozzle.

A computational analysis of nozzle flow characteristics and plume structure using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model was conducted to examine performance of the supersonic nozzle employed in a small liquid-rocket engine for ground firing test. Computed results and experimental outcome of 2-D converging-diverging nozzle flow were compared for verifying the computational capability as well as the turbulence model validity. Numerical computations of 2-D axisymmetric nozzle flow was carried out with the selected model. As a result, flow separation with backflow appeared around the nozzle exit. This investigation was reported as a background data for the optimal nozzle design of small liquid-propellant rocket engine for ground test.

The 30 tonf-class liquid rocket combustor currently being developed is designed to connect the fuel feeding line at a middle position of the supersonic nozzle in order to reduce both pressure loss in the regenerative cooling passage and overall envelope of the thrust chamber in spite of increase in design complexity. To verify the design of cooling passages including fuel ring, connecting holes, two-directional cooling channels and collectors, numerical analysis has been performed.

실제 크기의 로켓엔진은 수많은 예산이 소요되기 때문에 새롭게 설계된 엔진에 대하여 비행모델의 제작 및 실험연구는 예산과 위험성 때문에 매우 제한적으로 시행된다. 따라서 비행모델의 설계를 확정하기 위한 개발단계에서는 실제 크기의 로켓엔진의 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 소형 액체로켓을 제작하여 시험평가를 수행하게 된다. 이 글에서는 이러한 축소형 연소기 관련 연구동향을 알아보고자 한다.

The colse type of engine system, in which the combustion gas after the gas-turbine with high temperature is supplied to the combustion chamber, was selected to increase the energy characteristics in making the rocket engine scheme which makes 1700kN thrust. The nozzle was designed with consideration of film cooling, nozzle efficiency, and the real state of cobmustion gas during the expansion in nozzle. The change of gas state and the composition of the gas through the nozzle was studied by the graphic, too.
