Combustion performance and characteristics of high-pressure subscale liquid rocket combustors were studied experimentally. Four different models of combustor were considered in this paper. The high-pressure subscale combustor is composed of the mixing head, the water cooling cylinder and the nozzle. One model of the combustors employed regenerative cooling combustor in that the kerosene used for the chamber cooling is burned. This combustor was damaged due to a high frequency combustion instability occurred during a firing test. The results of the firing tests, comparison of performance, and characteristics of static and dynamic pressures of the combustors are described.

Therefore their factors are appropriated as intake system, injection and turbocharger system.

양파의 껍질에 칼금을 내고 꼭지와 뿌리를 절단한 후 회전하는 두 개의 롤러 위에 양파를 낙하시켜 구르게 하면서 그 위에 고압공기를 분사시켜 양파의 외각 껍질을 제거하는 공기분사식 박피장치의 최적 작동조건을 구명하기 위하여 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1, 박피장치에 고압공기를 분사하지 않았을 때, 롤러의 원주속도가 빠를수록, 양파의 무게가 가벼울수록 구름소요시간은 줄어들었고 직경방향 구름율이 가장 높았는데, 직경방향 구름소요시간이 가장 짧게 나타나는 주롤러의 원주속도는 2.4 m/s이었다. 2. 주롤러의 원주속도 2.4 m/s일 때 양파의 무게, 분사공기압 및 칼금수가 증가할수록 박피율은 증가하였으며, 박피율이 가장 높은 조건은 칼금수 4개, 분사공기압 3.5 kg/$cm^2$이상이었다. 3. 박피소요시간은 칼금수가 많을수록, 분사공기압이 높을수록 짧아지는 것으로 나타났고, 칼금수를 4개로 하고 분사공기압을 4.0 kg/$cm^2$이상으로 하면 박피소요시간을 2초 이하로 유지할 수 었다. 4. 양파의 껍질강도는 저장기일과 조건에 따라 다르므로 모든 양파의 박피를 위해서는 분사 공기압을 4.0 kg/$cm^2$이상으로 하고 공기분사시간을 2초에서 5초가지 조절할 수 있는 장치를 부착하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다. 5. 시험에 사용된 양파는 무게는 150~350$\pm$30 g, 직경 60~120 mm의 크기로 우리나라에서 생산되는 양파의 98%에 적용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of the present study is to conduct model combustion tests for various injectors to identify their combustion stability characteristics. Three different double swirl coaxial injectors with variation of a recess length have been tested for the comparative study of CH flame structure and dynamic characteristics. Gaseous oxygen and mixture of gaseous methane and propane have been employed for simulating actual propellants used for a full-scale thrust chamber. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

The spray distribution at high pressure condition was measured by the Tomography method. The constructed spray distribution was compared with the images by Indirect Photography method so that the spray size confirmed and took the boundary of the distribution. It confirmed that the Tomography applies to construct the distribution at high pressure.

Throttleable rocket engines are in high demand due to the diversification of space missions. Pintle injector is known to be suitable for throttleable rocket engines, because of its high efficiency in overall thrust zone. In this study, the relationship between spray angle of a throttleable pintle injector and total momentum ratio based on hot fire test conditions was investigated. As a result, the spray angle in 100% and 60% throttling level is higher than the spray angle obtained by the case which considers only propellant mass flow rate, owing to higher total momentum ratio (TMR). The results of this study may be useful for predicting spray angle in hot fire test.

The effect of the intake flow on the spray structure of a high pressure 11-hole fuel injector were examined in a single cylinder optical direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine. The effects of injection timing and in-cylinder charge motion were investigated using the 2-dimensional Mie scattering technique. It was confirmed that in the homogeneous charge mode, the in-cylinder swirl charge motion played a major role in the fuel spray distribution during the induction stroke rather than the tumble flow. But, in the stratified charge mode, the effect of the in-cylinder charge was not so large that the injected spray pattern was nearly maintained and the increase of in-cylinder pressure by the upward moving piston reduced the fuel spray penetration.

The pressure-swirl atomizer is widely used for the injectors in liquid rocket engines thanks to its high performance atomization and broad stability margin range. Spray mixed-interaction is an important area of study especially in cases where the propellant is mixed by spray interaction after an oxidant and a fuel are discharged separately. This interaction of sprays results in a significant modification of the spray characteristics such as the spatial evolution of the sprays. Experiments are conducted by a photographic technique to quantify the merged angle of the interaction regions of sprays from two pressure-swirl injectors. The experimental results show that the merged angle is mainly determined by the momentum flux ratios between two swirled sprays.

This numerical analysis was performed in order to validate adoption of the sheet breakup model in high-pressure environment, which were used for prediction of spray characteristics in atmosphere environment. In experiments the higher environment pressure the shorter breakup length; the results of new sheet breakup model predicted the breakup length in good agreement with experimental results qualitatively and quantitatively. Also the shape of spray calculated by numerical analysis were agreed well with experiments quantitatively.
