재생냉각은 엔진 경량화 및 높은 추력을 발생시킬 수 있으며 엔진이 장시간 작동할 경우에도 추력의 변화가 일어나지 않는 우수성으로 인해, 액체로켓엔진에서 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 냉각방식이며, 고성능 액체로켓엔진 개발에 있어서 핵심기술이다. 일반적으로 재생냉각 방식은 연소기 내벽에 형성된 냉각유로에 연료 또는 산화제를 흘려보내 고온고압의 연소실내에 온도 경계층을 생성시키면서 벽면온도를 적정온도 이내로 유지하는 것이 목적이며, 또한 냉각유로에서의 압력강하가 추진제 공급 시스템의 공급 압력의 한계값을 넘어서지 않도록 하며, 냉각후의 연료 또는 산화제의 열역학적 상태가 엔진 작동 조건에 적합하도록 제어하여야 한다.

Engine cool down process is necessary for the liquid rocket engines using cryogenic propellants in order to meet the requirement of engine inlet temperature. This paper evaluates the cool down characteristics of oxidizer supply pipeline and engine in prechill process prior to the engine firing tests, and calculate the quantity of liquid oxygen consumption.

레저 및 어업용 4cycle 선외기(Outboard engine)의 엔진냉각은 해수에 의한 직접냉각방식을 이용하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 청수에 의한 간접냉각방식(CCS, Crossed cooling system)의 도입 가눙성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이 방식을 적용할 경우, 특히 핵심부품인 실리더블록의 부식을 막을 수 있어 엔진수명이 2배 이상 증가하고, 예열시간단축으로 인한 연료절감 및 유지관리편의성 등 엔진성능을 높여주는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

It is important to consider powertrain cooling performance, when engine is applied to new vehicle. If the performance is poor, engine will be damaged by overheating. But, the development timing of engine is faster than timing of vehicle, it is difficult to test the cooling performance of new engine and vehicle. In this study the powertain cooling performance was estimated with some test and calculation data. First, the heat rejection test was conducted. From this test, the heat rejection data at required rpm and load was acquired. Second, coolant flow test was conducted. From this test coolant flow rate to radiator was measured. Then engine torque and rpm was calculated from vehicle load and speed. Vehicle load and speed was calculated from test mode. Then by comparing these data, the powertrain cooling performance was estimated.

Test Facility for hot firing test of small size liquid rocket engine has been developed to research the cooing characteristics of kerosene for cylinder part especially. Propellants for the tests are kerosene and liquid oxygen as fuel and oxidizer respectively and they are fed by gaseous nitrogen. The engine components used hot firing test except for cylinder are cooled by tap-water. Valves for supply of propellants and coolants are controlled by pneumatically. System control and data recording are conducted automatically.

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 as a cooling method for the liquid rocket engine of a 10tf-thrust level using kerosene as a fuel for the 2nd stage of the space launch vehicle. So, additional cooling method, curtain cooling was introduced and analyzed. Curtain cooling was very effective to reduce the thermal and thermo-structural instability.

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.

The cooling mechanism for a liquid rocket engine of 10tf-thrust using kerosene as a fuel was studied from the viewpoint of both the regenerative and 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 en g i.ne could be improved.

An analysis has been conducted of the optimal condition to maximize the specific impulse for a liquid rocket engine with film cooling. The present engine performance has been compared with the published conceptual design to be verified satisfactorily accurate. The optimal combination of film coolant flow rate and the regenerative cooling capacity has been found for maximum specific impulse. The optimal fuel pump pressure increases and the optimal film coolant flow decreases for a larger thrust engine. Higher turbine inlet temperature increases both the fuel pump pressure and the film coolant flow rate as the optimal condition. The coking temperature has the same qualitative effect as the turbine inlet temperature.
