로켓 엔진 시스템에는 가압가스로 추진제를 엔진으로 공급하는 가압 시스템과 터보펌프를 이용해 엔진으로 고압의 추진제를 공급하는 터보펌프 시스템으로 나눌 수 있으며 터보펌프 시스템은 다시 Gas Generator를 이용하는 개방형 엔진과 Prebumer를 이용한 폐쇄형 엔진인 다단 엔진으로 구분할 수 있다. 로켓의 엔진 시스템은 Turbine, Turbopump, Gas Generator, Thrust Chamber, Tube, Valve, Propellant Tank 등 각 구성품 간에 서로 상호간섭이 매우 심한 공정이다 로켓 엔진 시스템은 이와 같은 상호간섭에 의해 추력 제어 및 혼합비 제어, 추진제 소진 제어 적용 시 정확하고 강인한 제어를 수행하여야 한다. 이를 위해 정확한 동특성 모델을 구축하는 것이 중요하며 모델을 통해 적절한 제어 시스템을 선택하여야 한다. 그러나 현재 국내에는 이에 대한 연구가 미미하며 해외의 경우 로켓은 특수 분야에 속함으로 공개되어 있지 않다. 로켓에 대한 개발 연구에 있어서는 위와 같은 작업이 선행되어야 하며 이에 대한 선행 연구로 한국항공우주연구원에서 Gas Generator를 이용한 개방형 터보펌프 엔진 시스템에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Gas Generator를 이용한 개방형 터보펌프 엔진시스템에 대한 동특성 모델을 구성하였다. 배관부, 터빈, 펌프, 밸브, Gas Generator, 재생냉각, 추력연소실 등 엔진 시스템을 구성하는 구성품에 대한 동특성 모델을 구성하였으며 이를 matlab의 simulink를 통해 각 구성품을 연결하여 최종 엔진시스템의 동특성 모델을 구성하였다. 구성된 동특성 모델을 통해 각종 변화(추진제 밀도 변화, 추력 변화, 혼합비 변화 등)에 대한 엔진 시스템 변화를 예측하여 정확한 엔진 시스템에 대한 이해를 넓혔으며 추력 제어 및 혼합비, 추진제 소진 제어를 최적으로 할 수 있는 제어 시스템 구축을 위한 기초 자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

The efforts to develop high performance aircraft engines are successively progressed with development of recent technology. The reliability of individual parts and the safety of engine systems are reduced if high efficiency components, high strength materials, and precise controls are applied to the engine with complexity to increase engine performance. In this paper, the regulation requirements and assessment technique for aircraft engine safety are considered, and the result of safety assessment on a turbine case cooling system of high efficiency turbofan engine is presented.

A vacuum brazed cooling passage for an aircraft engine controller was designed. In order to predict the total pressure loss, which is the main design factor of the cooling passage, theoretical and numerical methods for the major loss and the minor loss considering the overall shape of the cooling passage are presented. This design and evaluation method can predict the pressure loss of the complex cooling passage shape for various flow conditions at the initial design step.

액체로켓엔진은 연소실의 온도가 약 3,600K로서 냉각시스템은 필수적이다. 지금까지 대표적으로 사용되어온 냉각방법은 재생냉각과 막냉각으로 아임계압력에서 다양한 실험연구에 의해서 설계가 진행되어 왔다. 아임계압력에서 얻어진 유동구조 이해 및 설계경험식은 초임계 압력에서는 물성치가 급격히 변하기 때문에 재정립될 필요가 있다. 특히 열전달 성능을 좌우하는 난류유동구조가 크게 바뀌기 때문에 초임계 유체에 대한 난류유동 및 열전달연구가 진행될 필요가 있다. 이 글에서는 초임계 압력조건에서 난류열전달 연구동향을 소개하고자 한다.

Mathematical modelling for liquid rocket engine(LRE) main components were conducted to predict the dynamic characteristics when the LRE operates at the transient condition, which include engine start up, shut down, or thrust control. Propellant feeding system is composed of fuel and oxidizer feeding components except for regenerative cooling channel for the fuel circuit. Components modeling of pump, pipe, orifice, control valve, regenerative cooling channel and injector was serially made. Hydraulic tests of scale down component were made in order to validate modelling components. The mathematical models of engine components were integrated into LRE transient simulation program in concomitant with experimental validation.

A system design has been conducted of the liquid rocket engine for Korean launch vehicle (KSLV-II, Korea Space Launch Vehicle II). The present turbopump-fed liquid rocket engine of vacuum thrust 76 ton and vacuum specific impulse 297 sec adopts gas generator cycle. The combustion pressure of the regeneratively cooled combustor is 60 bar. The propellant is LOx/kerosene. The engine is started by pyrostarter and the combustor is ignited by TEA (TriEthylAluminium). The engine system performance and the subsystems performance requirements are given through energy balance analysis. The combustion pressure, specific impulse and the engine mass are analyzed to be reasonable comparing with the published data. The startup analysis method which will be used in the future has been validated against the turbopump-gas generator coupled test. The tuning method for performance variation of the engine which is not actively controled has been prepared by mode analysis and performance deviation analysis.

A numerical simulation has been carried out for the engine cooling system. It is the important element to analysis of heat transfer process in cooling system for an automotive engine. Thus, the purpose of this simulator is to present useful information at the early stages of the design of the cooling system by enabling the development engineer to predict performance trends. This program has useful window interface for analysis of the cooling system and it is convenient for user to control data with relational database. The system was simulated and compared with experimental data. As a result, the inlet, outlet temperature of the radiator by the simulator agrees well with it. It is concluded that this simulation program is available in developing the cooling system for a new car.

In this work, it has been predicted the thermal performance of the engine cooling system in cases of stationary mode, constant speed mode, city-drive mode, and hill-climb mode by theoretical modeling of each component and numerical analysis. The modelling components are engine, radiator, heater, thermostat, water-pump, and cooling-fan. And also it has been developed the simulation program that can be used in case of design and system configuration changes. The comparison has not been made to verify the results of this work with experimental data, but the overall tendencies were agreed well with those of actual situation in four modes.
