A 3-tonf-class high pressure sub-scale combustor was designed and manufactured to study the performance improvement of combustor. The combustor consists of a combustion chamber with film cooling, thermal barrier coating and water cooling channels to prevent thermal demage of the hardware and an injector head with 37 coaxial swirl injectors. Hot-firing tests were carried out at the design point with varying flow rate for film cooling. The test result revealed that the increase of film cooling flow rate decreases the combustion performance, but in the cases of similar film cooling flow rates, the combustion performance is dependent on the mixture ratio of main injector excluding the film cooling flow rate.

The experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of the recirculation zone on the multi-slot film cooling in the ramjet combustor. The recirculation zone which is generated by the protrusion tip on the entrance of the coolant flow path affects on the first slot. Velocity fields, dimensionless temperature fields and adiabatic film cooling effectiveness on the downstream wall of the slot exit are measured. The results show that the film cooling performance is rapidly decreased after the slot exit by the share layer and high turbulence intensity between separated flows and coolant flows.

Cooling characteristics of a liner were investigated by a film cooling method using a gas nitrogen in a rocket engine. High temperature gas of this test was made by mixing liquid nitrogen with combustion gas of a liquid rocket. A supply system of gas nitrogen was additionally constructed to the existing test facility of liquid rocket engine, and a new test section consisted of a liner and a gas injection ring was manufactured. A 10 second firing test for finding cooling characteristics of the liner was successfully conducted and liner surface temperatures and hot gas temperature was obtained.

충돌/유출냉각은 연소실 벽면 등과 같이 열부하가 많이 걸리는 영역에서 고온의 연소가스로부터 표면을 보호하는 막냉각과 더불어 내부에 다공성 판을 설치하여 충돌제트에 의해 내부표면을 냉각시켜 가스터빈엔진의 고온요소의 냉각성능을 극대화시키는 방법 중의 하나이다. 이와 같은 냉각방법을 적용하면 벽면을 충돌제트에 의한 냉각과 함께 냉각유채를 막냉각에 활용함으로써 냉각효율을 극대화할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국소적인 값들을 획득하기 용이한 물질전달실험방법의 하나인 나프탈렌 승화법을 이용하여 수직으로 분사되는 충돌제트에 의한 유출판 내면에서의 열/물질전달특성을 분사판(injection plate)과 유출판(effusion plate) 사이의 높이, 분사제트의 속도, 분사홀간의 배열을 변화시켜가며 유출판만이 있는 경우와 비교, 분석하였다. 분사홀과 유출홀의 관 사이의 간격은 0.33d에서 10d까지 변화시켜가며 그 효과를 관찰하였으며, 홀배열 효과를 보기 위하여 2가지 홀배열(staggered array, shifted array)에 대하여 실험하였다. 또한 분사제트의 속도효과를 고찰하기 위하여 분사제트의 Rc$_{d}$=5,000-12,000까지 변화시켜가며 실험을 수행하였다.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating were investigated. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There was also over-heating on the front surface of the pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protects the pylon from over-heating.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of film cooling in a liquid rocket engine using Hydrogen peroxide/Kerosene as propellants. The heat fluxes were calculated by the measured wall temperatures on the axial direction of thrust chamber for mass flow rate of coolant and different type of film cooling rings. The flow rate of coolant was 0~20 percent of the total propellant.

In the present work, a parametric study on double-jet film-cooling has been carried out to enhance the film-cooling effectiveness using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis. The shear stress transport turbulence model is used as the turbulence closure. The lateral ejection angles and the lateral and streamwise distance between the centers of the cooling holes are chosen as the geometric parameters. The spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness averaged over an area of 8 hole diameters in width and 30 hole diameters in streamwise length is used to evaluate the performance of film-cooling. The parameter of the lateral distance has the largest impact on the film cooling effectiveness compared to the others. On the other hand, the parameter of streamwise distance gives the least influence on the film cooling effectiveness.

A study has been conducted to observe the slot film cooling effect on a convergent nozzle wall. The slot film cooling is used to protect the nozzle wall from the hot combusted gas by the coolant injected from the slot around the inner wall of the nozzle. The film cooling effectiveness and the heat transfer to the nozzle wall are influenced significantly by the blowing ratio of the coolant to the main flow and those are also influenced by the shape of the slot and the flow acceleration in the nozzle. In the present study, the heat transfer for the various blowing ratios has been performed by the experimental method and the results are compared with the results computed by the empirical formula. The numerical method has been conducted to compare the film cooling effectiveness of the convergent nozzle with that of the cylinder. For the relatively low blowing ratio, the cooling effectiveness increases sharply as the blowing ratio increases, and the increasing rate slows down for the high blowing ratio.

The cooling mechanism for a regenerative cooling liquid rocket engine of 10tf-thrust using kerosene as a fuel was studied from the viewpoint of curtain cooling. Based on the concept of a highly-stratified gas flow in the combustion chamber, the cross section of the combustion chamber was spilt into 2 independent parts, core and exterior part. Additional fuel is injected into the exterior section and gas temperature can be reduced in the exterior section. Consequently, the heat flux into the coolant and wall temperature are reduced and the thermal stability of a liquid rocket engine could be improved.
