It is definitely required to control dispersion of the rocket engine performance in order to accomplish the mission of launch vehicle successfully. We performed the dispersion analysis of gas generator cycle LRE (liquid rocket engine) accompanied with ANASYN. As a result, the vacuum thrust dispersion of the engine was $+5.34\%,\;-5.27\%$ and the mixture ratio deviated $+9.07\%,\;-9.82\%$ from the nominal value due to the errors of components and engine inlet condition of propellants. By applying the gas generator regulator only, the dispersion of the engine performance increases. Error in turbine efficiency is the most influential factor to the dispersion of engine performance.

액체 로켓 추진기관의 개발에 가장 큰 장애요인은 연소불안정 현상이다. 연소불안정이 생기는 원인과 연소실내 음향효과에 따른 분류를 행하고 액체 로켓 추진기관 개발에서 발생하였던 연소 불안정 현상을 추진제 종류와 특성에 따라 살펴보았다. 또한 추진기관의 연소 안정성을 보장하기 위한 성능확인 시험과 연소 불안정을 억제하는 능동적, 수동적 방법에 관하여 기술하였다.

Since the successful launch of Sputnik 1, a rocket engine was evolved rapidly. The first artificial satellite Sputnik has only 182 lb mass with a size of a basket ball, a modern artificial satellite is over 10 tons. As the size and the mass of an artificial satellite increases, the stronger launch vehicles are required. However, the story is different in the field of the rocket engine development. In the early to mid age of the space race, rocket engine study was focused on the stronger and bigger engine development, but from the 80's the tide has changed. A rocket engine must be strong and also economic. This trend was accelerated from when a rocket launch was used commercially. In this study, a capability of the launch vehicle and engine was investigated to provide a reference for a liquid rocket engine development plan.

Aiming at time-dependent performance prediction of Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) system, Modular Program for Conceptual Design of LRE is reviewed, and a modeling and dynamic analysis of rocket engine system with reference to Rocket Engine Dynamic Simulator(REDS) is outlined. Component modeling is based on classical thermodynamic and inviscid theories, and were formulated mathematically in terms of essential parameters. Essential design parameters are addressed. The rocket engine is modeled as a system of pipes with various hydraulic elements, and then the operate characteristic of that elements are simulated by solving conservation equation sequentially.

다련장로켓은 기습적 대량화력의 집중, 기동성, 사거리의 손쉬운 증대가능성의 장점을 가지고 있어 제2차 세계대전에서 처음 등장한 이후 대부분의 국가에서 야전 포병의 기본 무기체계로서 발전되어 왔다. 전세계 40개국 이상에서 사용하고 있는 다련장로켓은 유도방법, 탑재차량, 전자자동제어 분야의 발달로 점차 대구경화하여 사거리가 증대되고 있으며 탄두의 위력도 증대 다양화되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 다련장로켓 중에서 가장 우수한 무기체계중의 하나로 알려진 MLRS는 미국을 비롯한 세계 13개국에서 채택하고 있으며 우리나라에서도 장비도입을 진행 중에 있다.현재 구룡을 생산하고있는 (주)한화에서는 이 MLRS가 차기 주력제품이 될것으로 판단하여 미제 사거리연장형(ER-MLRS)와 유사한 한국형 대구경 다련장로켓을 거룡이라고 명명하고 '93년부터 기초연구를 진행해 왓다. '94년 7월 첫 지상연소시험을 수행한 이후 현재까지 8기의 지상연소시험을 마쳤고, 지난 9월에는 비행용로켓 2발을 제작 비행 시험을 실시한 바 있다.본 논문에서는 미제 MLRS의 구성,제원,특성을 추진기관 중심으로 알아보고,자체 연구개발중에 있는 거룡 로켓의 추진기관 개발 현황을 지상연소시험을 중심으로 간단히 요약하고 미제와 성능을 비교해 보았다.향후 지속적으로 추진기관의 성능 개량을 추진할 계획으로 있으나 현재까지의 진행결과로 볼 때 추진기관의 개발은 문제가 없고, 대구경 다련장로켓탄 전체도 국내기술로 충분히 개발이 가능한것으로 판단된다.

A comprehensive understanding is given for the hot-firing test results, which were obtained throughout the verification program of mono-propellant hydrazine rocket engines (thrusters) producing 0.95 lbf (4.2 N) of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia (2.41 Mpa). A scrutiny for the engine performance is made in terms of thrust and temperature behavior of steady state firing mode at the given propellant injection pressures: Pinj = 400, 250, 100, and 50 psi. The thrust and specific impulse are compared with a reference performance of 1-lbf standard rocket engines and their normalization procedure is introduced. A practical engineering approach to the data measurement and reduction is addressed, too.

The effect of ceramic thermal barrier coating thickness on the cooling performance of a liquid-propellant rocket engine combustor has been investigated through combustion/cooling performance analysis whose results verified against measured data from hot-firing tests. Also have been confirmed the effects of film cooling amount near the face plate on the coolant temperature and on the thermal barrier coating surface temperature. Some important points to be considered for designing cooling schemes for regeneratively cooled rocket engine combustor have been drawn and reviewed from present study and further verification of the analysis tool should be performed in the future.

We successfully completed the development test for a 10-ton thrust liquid rocket engine using LOX+LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas, or Methane) with a high performance turbopump system. Resulting from the success of the regenerative-cooling capability using LNG, high pressure-generating capability and gas-generating performance, etc, methane engine with the product name CHASE-10 will be commercialized in the near future.

In order to predict the performance of the small-scale Polyethylene-GOX hybrid rocket motor, a typical internal ballistic model was proposed. The model adopted for the present study employed the lumped scale of chamber pressure so that the pressure-time history resulted from the present model was comparable to the test results.

Combustion characteristics of KSR-III liquid rocket engine are investigated numerically in the standpoints of engine performance and acoustic instability. In the present calculation, engine performance for design and off-design conditions is estimated effectively with reasonable error. Numerical results of acoustic instability show that engine operation for the design condition has sufficient stability margin, but for a certain off-design condition, acoustic instability can be triggered by artificial pressure perturbation. The present results are in a good agreement with the available experimental results and can be adopted for the prediction of engine performance and stability, depending on the specific operating condition.
