An experimental study was carried out to understand the characteristics of the long wave infrared signal emitted from the exhaust plume when water is sprayed around it. The micro-jet engine was used to generate the exhaust plume, and eight water spray nozzles were installed around the exhaust nozzle. Two water injection angles were applied, one is sparying parallel to the exhaust plume, and the other is spraying water into the exhaust plume. The measurement results are as follows. When spraying water parallel to the exhaust plume, the long wave infrared signal is decreased with water spray flow rate. When spraying water the exhaust plume, the long wave infrared signal shows a larger value than plume only.

In modern air combat, infrared signals play an important role in the detection of opponents and must be reduced to improve survivability and stealth. In particular, IR signals generated in the wake of aircraft engines have high intensity and short wavelengths, so most heat-tracking missiles detect these signals. Accordingly, the measurement and characteristic analysis of Gas radiation signals from the engine's wake were carried out in this study. Micro turbojet engine has been configured to simulate a real aircraft turbofan engine, and the characteristics of IR signal reduction by adjusting the bypass ratio were identified. Through this, the IR signal characteristics for each wavelength are analyzed and verification of signal reduction technologies is performed.

Development of an accurate infrared signature (IR) measurement system is expected to contribute in the development of low observable technology and the spectroscopic analysis of electromagnetic radiation. Application of a spectroradiometer (SR) allows for the measurement of detailed infrared signature from the exhaust plume due to its own heat source. Establishment of a measurement system using a micro-turbo engine is intended to simulate the modelling of the aircraft plume. The engine was installed on a test stand to measure the engine performance. The IR signature was measured by placing the SR perpendicular to the axis line of the exhaust plume. Reference data from the blackbody were also measured to calibrate the raw data, and the infrared signature of the background was also measured for comparison with that of the plume. The calibrated spectral radiance was obtained through the data reduction process and the results were analyzed in specific bands. The experiments revealed that the measurement system established here showed sufficient performance for further comprehensive analysis.

에너지와 환경을 조화시킨 자원순환형 사회의 실현을 위해 하수처리장에서도 하수열이나 소화가스 등의 미이용(未利用)네어지의 유효활용이 기대되고 있다. 소화가스는 하수처리장에서 발생하는 에너지 중에서는 큰 비중을 차지하고 있으나 소화조의 가온을 위해 사용되고 있는 정도로 반드시 유효하게 활용되고 있다고는 말할 수 없다. 또 가스엔진의 코제너레이션에 의해 유효하게 할용되고 있는 처리장도 있으나 메인터넌스 비용 등의 문제로 보급되고 있지 않은 것이 실제의 상황이다. 한편, 마이크로가스터빈은 그 구조의 심풀성 때문에 가스엔진과 비교하여 메인터너스 비용의 저감이 기대되고 있어, 소화가스를 연료로 하는 코제너레이션 시스템으로서 앞으로의 보급이 기대되는 발전시스템이다. 그래서 소화가스의 마이크로가스터빈용 연료로서의 적용을 위한 검증과 운영상의 과제를 밝힐 것을 목적으로 북견시 정화센터의 처리장 내에 설치하여 실증시험을 하고 있다. 지금까지 약 4,000시간의 운전실적에서 소화가스에 기인하는 본질적인 문제도 없고 시스템이 안정되게 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 실증시험설비에는 마이크로가스터빈의 운전상태를 24시간 리모트 감시하는 리모트감시장치를 설치하고 있는데, 운전데이터의 파악과 이상 발생시의 고장진단/기술검토에 유효하게 사용되었다.

Micro engine that includes Micro scale combustor is fabricated. Design target was focused on the observation of combustion driven actuation in MEMS scale. Combustor design parameters are somewhat less than the size recommended by feasibility test. The engine structure is fabricated by isotropic etching of the photosensitive glass wafers. Electrode formed by electroplating of the Nickel. Photosensitive glass can be etched isotropically with almost vertical angle. Bonding and assembly of structured photosensitive glass wafer form the engine. Combustor size was determined to be 1 mm scale. Movable piston is engraved inside the wafer. Ignition was done by nickel spark plug which was electroplated with thickness of 40 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The wafers were bonded by epoxy that resists high temperature. In firing test due to the bonding method and design tolerance pressure buildup by reaction was not confirmed. But ignition, flame propagation and actuation of micro structure from the reaction was observed. From the result basement of design and fabrication technology was obtained.

The easiest way to see the phenomena of compressor surge is to show the static and dynamic operation characteristic on the map. Its operation zone will be restricted by the surge limit and, static and transient process must have some margin for it. Effect of rotor moment of inertia, air/gas volumes and heat transfer are factors to cause the transition from the static line. In case a large volume such as heat exchanger exists in the system it will exert a substantial influence to dynamic characteristics. In the present paper, influence of air volume bled from the compressor exit on transient process is investigated with an example of an auxiliary power unit micro-turbine engine. Turbine mass, pressure ratio, rotation speed, power and moment are calculated based on mass and work conservation. Result from the present study can give guidance to design the control system. A computer program is developed to calculate the dynamic process using the MathCAD commercial software.
