로켓 엔진의 개발에 있어 성능과 수명(life time)에 가장 문제가 되는 것은 연소 안정성에 있다. 일반적으로 연소 불안정을 야기시키는 것은 3가지로서 축방향(longitudinal), 반경방향(radial)과 접선방향(longitudinal) 모드(mode)가 있다. 이와 같은 모드를 제어하는 방법에는 수동적 제어방법으로 음향공(acoustic cavity)과 배플(baffle)이 있으며, 음향공은 모드에 관계없이 특정한 주파수에 맞추어 체적을 조절하여 음향파(acoustic wave)를 감쇄시키는 것이고 배플은 주파수에 관계없이 접선방향 모드를 제어하는 것이 기본 목적이나 허브(hub)를 설치하여 반경방향 모드까지 제어할 수 있다. 음향공은 엔진의 성능 또는 연소장에는 영향을 주지 않고 작동하는 반면, 배플은 초기 엔진설계를 할 때 고려하지 않으면 후에 배플을 장착하였을 때는 초기 설계의 제한 때문에 장착의 어려움과 성능 및 연소장에 영향을 미쳐 원하지 않는 엔진의 시험 결과를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 KSR-III와 동일한 조건의 연소기에서 다양한 배플을 장착하였을 경우에 대하여 성능과 연소장에 대하여 예측하였다.

The performance test of an axial-type turbine is carried out with various axial gap distances between the stator and rotor. The turbine is operated at the low pressure and speed, and the degree of reaction is 0.373 at the mean radius. The axial-type turbine consists of ons-stage and 3-dimensional blades. The chord length of rotor is 28.2mm and mean diameter of turbine is 257.56mm. The power of turbo-blower for input power is 30kW and mass flow rate is $340m^3$/min at 290mmAq static-pressure. The RPM and output power are controlled by a dynamometer connected directly to the turbine shaft. The axial gap distances are changed from a quarter to three times of stator axial chord length, and performance curves are obtained with 9 different axial gaps. The efficiency varies about 8% of its peak value due to the variation of axial gap on the same non-dimensional mass flow rate and RPM, and experimental results show that the optimum axial gap is 1.6-1.9Cx.

조립된 KAERI ECR(Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source) 이온원의 중요한 성능을 결정하는 ECR 챔버 내의 자장구조를 3차원 가우스 메타를 이용하여 측정하였다. ECR 이온원의 자장은 축방향 (빔인출 방향) 자장 Bz와 반경방향 자장 Br (Bx, By)로 이루어지는 데, KAERI에서 개발한 ECR 이온원의 경우 Bz는 요크 구조체들을 포함한 3개의 전자석들에 의해 만들어지고, Br은 영구자석들로 구성된 헥사폴에 의해 만들어진다. 헥사폴에 의한 자장은 ECR 챔버 벽(R=34 mm)의 위치에서 최대 값을 측정하여 계산결과와 비교하였고, 챔버 내부 R=30 mm 위치에서 축방향과 반경방향의 자장구조를 측정하였다. 전자석 만에 의한 자장은 헥사폴 결합 요크와 챔버 내의 요크를 제거한 상태에서 자장을 측정하여 계산된 결과와 비교하였다. 전자석과 헥사폴에 의한 통합 자장구조는 ECR 챔버와 챔버 내의 요크 구조물을 제거한 상태로 R=30mm 위치에서 전자석의 정격전류에 의한 자장구조를 측정하였고, 최종적으로 이온원 자석구조물들을 모두 장착한 상태에서 축 중심(R=0mm)에서의 축방향 자장 값들을 측정하여 설계한 값과 비교하였다.

A mixed-type turbine was adopted and the rotor outer diameter was 108 mm. Turbine rotors were designed to the axial-type blade because the turbine operated at a low partial admission rate of 1.7-2.0% with two stages. Performance characteristics were studied when the spouting from the nozzle was toward radially inward or outward direction. Additionally, the effect at each stage of the rotor was measured. For comparing with each turbine performance, properties were measured based on various rotational speeds. Measured net specific torque was used to compare with the turbine system performance. On the mixed-type turbine, better performance was obtained when the operating air spouted toward radially inward direction. The specific torque was increased by 7.8% from using the second stage although its effect depended on the rotational speed.

The effect of the relative location between pre-swirl nozzle and receiver hole on the performance of radial on-board injection type pre-swirl system was analyzed. In this study, tendency of the change of discharge coefficient and temperature drop efficiency were analyzed for 20 design points through the combination of 5 pre-swirl nozzle location and 4 receiver hole location. Discharge coefficient of system tended to be similar to the pressure ratio of the pre-swirl nozzle. System performance variation occurred as the flow structure in the cavity was affected by the surface, and the influence of the stationary surface is greater than that of the rotating surface. Discharge coefficient of system changed -1.39% to 1.25% and temperature drop efficiency changed -5.41% to 2.94% refer to reference design point.

MFL(magnetic flux leakage) inspection is a general method of non-destructive evaluation(NDE) of underground gas pipelines. Pipelines are magnetized by permanent magnets when MFL PIG(pipeline inspection gauge) gets through them. If defects or corrosions exist in pipelines, effective thickness is changed and thus variation of leakage flux occurs. The leakage flux signals detected by hall-sensors are analyzed to characterize defect's geometries such as length, width, depth, and so on. This paper presents several methods for estimating defect's length using MFL signals and their performances are compared for real defects carved in KOGAS pipeline simulation facility. It is found that 80% and 90% of minimum values for axial and peak values for radial signals respectively show the best performance in the point of length estimation error.

Effect of radial position of half-wave resonator is investigated experimentally for acoustic damping in a combustion chamber by adopting acoustic cold test. Acoustic damping is quantified by damping factor. When resonator with optimal tuning length is installed, damping is enhanced as its radial location is away from the center of the faceplate. And, spatial profile of damping factor is similar to that of the amplitude of the acoustic mode to be damped. As the location is close to the center, acoustic damping is mitigated and independent of the resonator length. On the other hand, the resonator with non-optimal length dose not show any effects of its radial position. Acoustic-damping capacity can be evaluated as functions of resonator length and position.

Wind power tower (WPT) has been used to augment the performance of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). However, the performance of the WPT depends on several design parameters, such as inner and outer radius, or number of guide walls. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted to investigate efficient design parameters on the WPT. A wind tunnel was utilized and its test section dimension was 2m height and 2.2m width. One story model of the WPT was manufactured with seven guide walls and a VAWT was installed within the WPT. Three different sizes of guide walls were applied to test with various design parameters. The power coefficients were measured along the azimuthal direction in a state of equal inlet velocity in order to compare its performance relatively. The experimental results showed that the gap between the inner radius of the WPT and the rotating radius of the VAWT was a major parameter to improve the performance of VAWT within the WPT.

Effective-pivot effects on the thrust vector control performance of the flexible seal nozzle to be used to control the flight direction of missile were investigated by computer simulation. $2^3$-Design of experiment technique was applied and ADMAS was used for the surrogate technique. As a result, radial pivot position had more influence upon the nozzle actuating performance than axial pivot position. Connecting method of actuator was also important factor in determining effective-pivot effects on the thrust vector control performance of the flexible seal nozzle.

The design of coaxial porous injector was suggested to improve the mixing and atomizing performance at the center region of the conventional 2-phase flow coaxial shear injector spray. Several cold flow tests of 2-dimensional injectors was performed, and the gas injection area was varied to determine the effect of the magnitude of gas radial momentum.
