액체추진 로켓엔진의 개발과정에서 고주파 연소불안정은 엔진의 비행 안정성 및 성능의 보장을 위해 반드시 고려해야 하는 중요한 인자이다. 특히 액체추진 로켓엔진에 사용되는 다양한 추진제 조합 중 LOX/RP-1은 그 성능, 가용성, 경제성 등의 측면에서 우수한 추진제이지만 F-1 엔진의 개발과정에서와 같이 여타 추진제 조합에 비해 고주파 연소불안정 특성이 강하게 나타난다. 액체추진 로켓엔진의 음향불안정 특성 예측을 위해 다양한 방법이 제시되어 왔다. 그 중 n-$\tau$ 2 매개변수 법은 연소불안정 특성 예측에 실험적 고찰을 통한 간단한 연소모델을 포함하는 것으로 신속한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점 때문에 엔진의 예비설계 및 본 설계과정에서 인정성 측면의 분석을 위해 널리 사용되고 있고 기존의 엔진 개발과정을 통해 그 신뢰성이 검증되어 왔다.

국가우주개발의 중장기 계획에 따른 우주 발사체 개발의 일환으로, 한반도 대기상태측정 등을 위한 고성능 과학관측로켓의 국산화를 위하여 항공우주연구소를 중심으로 여러 기관에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 액체로켓을 주 추진체으로 삼고 있기 때문에 로켓의 안정적인 연소와 성능 향상이야말로 발사체 개발에 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 액체로켓의 경우, 초기점화는 고체시동장치 또는 액체시동장치에 의한 방법 등으로 구분될 수 있다. 본 연구는 액체시동장치 중 hypergolic으로 초기점화를 하고 뒤이어 주추진제(LOX/kerosene)를 내보내어 주연소를 할 수 있는 Unlike impinging Quadlet injector(3 on 1)의 연소성능 이해와 예측을 위해 Cold flow test를 기초로 수행되었다.

The solid rocket interacts circumscriptively in terms of is many more than liquid rocket. It is uncontrollable than liquid rocket because all part of combustion is decided such as Mixture ratio of propellant, burning time and area. However, production cost is cheap and because authoritativeness security can be easy and enlarge the early speed that follow thrust-to-weight ratio, it is used comprehensively by small size rocket. Considered about nozzle cooling to control phenomenon that burn by thermal conduction in interior wall of nozzle that follow in thrust increase of solid rocket and erosion phenomenon by combustion gas of high speed.

An analytical study was carried out to evaluate the regenerative cooling characteristics in the liquid rocket engine of a 10tf-thrust level using kerosene as a fuel. As a supplementary cooling method, a radiative cooling was applied to the nozzle extension. It was found out from this work that the cooling system with the regenerative and radiation cooling only is not adaptable for the liquid rocket engine of a 10tf-thrust level using kerosene as a fuel for the $2^{nd}$ stage of the space launch vehicle, with the viewpoint of the thermal and thermo-structural instability and the excessive pressure drop in the cooling channel.

The present paper describes the first development of a LOX/kerosene type turbopump in Korea. The liquid rocket engine, that the turbopump can be applied to, has a 30-ton(metric) level of vacuum thrust and employs a gas generator cycle. The turbopump consists of two single-stage centrifugal pumps, that is, LOX and kerosene pumps, and one single-stage impulse turbine. Inter-propellant seal(IPS) is located between the LOX pump and the kerosene pump to avoid any interaction between the propellants. A series of component and TPU(Turbopump Unit) test has been completed in the level of simulant propellants and ready for hot firing tests.

Injector is one of the most important elements in Liquid rocket Engine design, and how to arrange these injectors on the head determines the engine performance. In this study, when the swirl injectors are used for the 1st designing of injector head of 170 tonf UDMH-LOX as the propellant of LRE, a distribution relation of the mass flow rate per unit area was calculated from the function of ${\Phi}$, which is related with the mass flow rate characteristics of swirl injector. And the combustion characteristics by circumferential axis were estimated using this relation under the consideration of combustion core and film cooling area.

Liquid rocket injectors play crucial roles on propulsive performance, combustion stability, and heat transfer characteristics. Nevertheless, their developments have mainly relied on empirical methods and expensive hot-firing tests due to lack of fundamental understanding of high pressure combustion phenomena in the near-injector regions. The present study was motivated by recent efforts to develop reliable modeling of liquid rocket combustion. The turbulent combustion model based on the flamelet concept has been extended to take into account real-fluid behaviors occurred at supercritical pressures, and validated against measurements for a cryogenic nitrogen injection, a non-premixed turbulent jet flame at atmospheric pressure, and a LOx/$GH_2$ coaxial shear injector at a supercritical pressure.

액체연료를 사용하는 엔진의 인젝터에 대한 연구는 연소효율에 중대한 영향을 미치는 분무 액적의 크기 및 분포 특성 연구에 초점을 두어왔다. 그러나 액체 로켓 엔진은 고온, 고압의 연소실 내에서 액체상태의 연료 및 산화제 액적이 매우 빠르게 기화되기 때문에, 미립화 특성 보다는 연료와 산화제의 혼합특성이 연소효율을 결정하는 변수로 작용하게 된다. 또한 분사된 액체 추진제는 미립화 단계 이전에 기화되어 초기 화염을 형성하므로, 분사 직후의 연료/산화제의 혼합과정을 이해하는 것은 상당히 중요하다.
