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.

액체 로켓 엔진은 추진기관 공급 시스템으로 작동이 된다. 추진기관 공급 시스템에는 유공압장치 및 각종 배관, 필요한 압력과 유량을 연소실과 가스발생기로 공급하는 시스템, 엔진의 점화 및 정지, 발사체의 사용 목적에 따라 부과되는 기능을 수행하기 위한 장비들이 포함된다. 공급시스템은 크게 가압가스를 이용하는 방법과 터보펌프를 이용하는 방법의 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 잘 알려진 바와 같이 일반적으로 추력이 큰 로켓엔진의 경우에는 터보 펌프식이, 추력이 크지 않은 경우에는 가압가스 방식이 이용된다. 일반적으로 가압가스 방식은 연소실 압력이 커질수록 추진제 탱크의 압력도 커지므로, 그 두께가 두꺼워져서 비효율적이 된다. 따라서 연소실 압력이 비교적 크지 않은 추력이 약 10t 내외에서 많이 사용되고, 시스템이 터보 펌프식보다 구조가 매우 간단하므로, 작동의 신뢰도는 매우 높다.

초임계 난류유동이 활용되고 있는 가장 대표적인 시스템은 액체로켓연소기이다. 액체로켓엔진은 목적하는 임무에 따라 추력이 결정되고 엔진의 추력이 결정된다. 이러한 추력을 결정하는 핵심부품이 분사기(injector)이다. 실용 인공위성을 발사하기 위한 액체로켓엔진의 연소기는 수백 개의 분사기를 통해 연료와 산화제가 혼합되는 구조를 가지고 있다. 따라서 로켓연소기의 연소특성 및 성능은 분사기의 혼합특성에 좌우된다. 그러므로 단일 분사기의 연료/산화제 혼합특성에 대한 많은 실험과 해석연구가 진행되고 있다. 그런데 초임계압력에서는 액체의 표면장력이 사라지게 되어 독특한 혼합특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 성능을 높여주기 위하여 초임계 압력을 선택할 경우 분사기에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 이러한 초임계 작동압력에서 분사기에 대한 연구들을 소개하고자 한다.

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.

Structural analyses of a engine system is required in development stage for increasing structural reliability and reducing weight. Attitude of a launch vehicle during flight is controlled by combustion chamber rotation varying with TVC (thrust vector control) actuator displacements. In this study nonlinear static analysis is performed for a 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine using before and after the TVC actuation.

The performance characteristics of a TBCC engine considering the transition mode from a turbojet to a ramjet engine has been investigated. The performance of each engine was proposed and a transition mode of the TBCC engine has been evaluated by adjusting the operating rate of the ramjet engine and turbojet engine performance changes continuously. Based on the transition model, it was confirmed that the performance is continuously changed at various flight Mach numbers and altitudes. The performance characteristics including thrust and specific impulse considering various flight conditions and transition mode were analyzed, which testifies characteristics of the engine itself, as well as transition of the combined cycle.

The engine core of a 65hp-turboshaft engine for UAV is developed and modified into a 55lbf-turbojet engine. Since the core engine is installed with a propelling nozzle, which has the same mass flow characteristics as the power generator of the turboshaft engine its mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics are basically the same as those of the complete engine. Engine output is not shaft power but thrust force that is easier to measure. The core engine is very useful for core test purpose. Besides, the core engine itself can be directly used for propulsion of small air vehicles.

Conceptual design of RBCC (Rocket Based Combined Cycle) engine is performed through the thermodynamic cycle analysis. The engine is designed to take off at sea level and accelerate to Mach 8 at 30 km altitude. According to the flight speed, the engine operating modes are categorized into 3 modes : Ejectorjet (~ Mach 3), Ramjet (Mach 3~6), Scramjet (Mach 6~8). As a design result, the engine has a diameter of 1 m and a length of 6.7 m. In the prediction results, its maximum thrust is 16.5 ton. In Ramjet and Scramjet modes, design condition of the engine intake influence the engine thrust according to the flight speed.
