Engine test as well as unload test of starting motor itself was performed to evaluate the braking characteristics of starting system used for initial spin-up of gas turbine for power generation. Through the experimental evaluation of the braking performance with the capacity of braking resistor of the starting motor, we have achieved quantitative data to secure robust braking characteristics in emergency during the starting period of the gas turbine. It is possible to establish a capacity selection criterion of braking resistor to ensure the starting reliability of the gas turbine.

This paper includes a development of a starting time prediction model for a derivative engine. For this derivative engine design, a new map expansion method, Modified Pump Scaling Law(MPS), has been applied and expand the maps to sub-idle range. From loss characteristics of the reference engine, loss models for the derivative engine have been developed considering different pressure, temperature, and engine configurations. Starting time predictions of the derivative engine shows preferable results comparing test results.

This study fulfilled analysis of startup characteristics of Turbo pump unit-Gas generator open loop test from the viewpoint of simulation. The test results were investigated and the calculated results were compared to test results. The curve for RPM developing predicted by simulation agreed well with test result. The slope of transient combustion pressure of gas generator correspond with test result.

For gas turbine engine starting, external power should be supplied with engine to accelerate to suitable rotational speed for air and fuel ignition conditions. Electric starting system for small gas turbine engine has simple system and light weight, so it is generally used for small aircraft. For system analysis of gas turbine engine electric starting system, Characteristics of battery, start motor, engine drag torque should be analyzed and theirs temperature effects should be considered. In this paper, preliminary design procedure of small gas turbine engine electric starting system and major design parameters were described.

There are two definite objects for developing the startup transient of liquid rocket engine. One is to achieve the repeatability of startup to ensure higher reliability, and the other is to reduce the time of the startup transient. Typically in the initial phase of engine development as we are currently opposing, it is hard to estimate engine startup time due to the lack of experiences. In this work, a startup transient analysis tool was developed with the introduction of the mathematical model for each component of pump-fed liquid rocket engine system. Startup transient was investigated for a 25 ton class gas generator cycle engine to find necessary time for reaching steady state from startup and this enabled to reveal dynamic characteristics of the engine.

디이젤기관의 냉시동성이 가솔린기관에 비하여 떨어지는 것은 이미 우리가 알고 있는 사실이다. 근년에는 소형트럭, 승용차, 소형건설기계 등의 분야에 있어서도 고속디이젤기관을 널리 사용하게 되었고 앞으로 디이젤연료의 중질화 및 세탄가 저하의 영향 등을 고려할 경우 시동성의 확보는 더욱 중요한 문제로 된다. 시동성에 영향을 미치는 인자 혹은 시동성개선의 방책으로서는 분 무의 착화에 직접 관련되는 것 외에 축전지의 저온특성 혹은 기관의 마찰토오크 등 여러가지에 걸쳐 있으나 이들 중에서 특히 분무의 착화에 직접 관련되는 방책에 관해서는 그것이 시동성에 미치는 영향에만 그치는 것이 아니고 시동개시직후에 있어서 배출가스, 혹은 출력성능 등에 미 치는 영향에 대해서도 함께 고려를 하여야 할 경우가 있다. 본고에 있어서는 냉시동시의 분무의 착화에 대하여 직접 관련하거나 그것을 촉진시킨다고 생각되는 몇개의 인자와 구체적인 방책을 취급하므로써 그것들이 시동성 및 시동직후의 청백연 혹은 출력성능 등에 대하여 미치는 영향에 대해서 기술하며 아래에서 취급되는 시동시의 착화를 촉진하기 위한 실제적인 인자 및 방책은 어느 것이나 기본적으로는 하나의 개념에 집약된다. 즉 그것은 연표와 효소로부터 이루어지는 연소계에 있어서 착화조건을 갖추어야함을 말할 것도 없다.

This experimental study was performed to find the important design parameters and the starting characteristics of a supersonic exhaust diffuser. The experimental study was carried out on a scaled down model of straight cylindrical supersonic exhaust diffuser, in order to evaluate the effects of operating fluid(air, nitrogen), the diffuser inlet area over the primary nozzle throat area($A_d/A_t$), the inlet pressure of primary nozzle, diffuser length over diffuser inner diameter($L_d/D_d$) and existence or nonexistence of diffuser divergence. The test results showed that the starting pressure increased with decrease in diameter of primary nozzle, and the measured starting pressure of the diffuser had approximately 90~98% efficiency as compared with the predicted starting pressure. Also, the diffuser was started at all case, regardless of $L_d/D_d$ (above 8.4) and diffuser divergence. The result of this study can be used as an essential database for developing a simulated high-altitude facility for real-scale model.

In this study, the start-up characteristics of a staged combustion engine were analyzed numerically based on relational equation modeling of the entire engine components. The start-up characteristics were extensively analyzed considering the transient period of the total engine system from the start-up sequence till the steady-state of the engine. The performance characteristics of the engine components such as RPM of engine power-pack, chamber pressure and O/F ratio of pre-burner, and mass flow of propellants in the start-up period were investigated. Furthermore, the calculated engine data were compared satisfactorily with the experimental data. Through the comparison of data, successful validation of present engine start-up analysis has been obtained.
