우주발사체와 발사지원설비를 연결하여 추진제 공급과 전기신호 송수신 등을 가능하게 하는 메커니즘을 엄브리칼 장치라고 한다. 국내 우주발사체의 경우 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하며, 질소, 공기 및 헬륨 등의 가스를 밸브구동, 공간 퍼지, 추진제 가압에 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 우주센터의 발사대설비에 적용된 엄브리칼 장치 중 추진제 및 고압가스 공급을 위한 자동체결장치(auto coupling device)의 구성, 기능 및 발사 준비를 위한 프로세스에 대해 기술하고 있다. 자동체결장치는 발사체 하부 두 곳에 연결되며, 산화제 공급측의 체결장치(coupling device 1)와 연료 공급측의 체결장치(CD 2)로 구성된다. 이 장치는 발사체와의 접촉면에서 기밀을 확보한 상태에서 내부의 탱크, 밸브, 인터스테이지 등에 추진제 및 각종 가스를 공급하는 통로역할을 하며, 발사준비가 완료된 후에는 발사체 이륙 전 또는 이륙과 동시에 발사체로부터 자동으로 분리된다. 각각의 체결장치 구성품으로는 발사체 이륙시 발생하는 고온의 화염으로부터 장치를 보호하는 PD(protective device), 접촉면에 기밀을 제공하고 추진제 누출을 방지는 MCP(multi-channel plate), 접촉면을 보호하기 위한 덮게, 각종 연결 배관의 전진과 후진을 위한 캐리지, 발사체와의 체결을 지지하는 그립 등이 있다. 발사 준비를 위해서 사전에 장치의 독립운용시험을 통해 각 구성품의 상태와 기능을 점검하고 장치의 작동성을 검증한다. 이후 발사체를 모사하는 기체 및 관제설비와 종합적으로 연계 시험과 모사시험을 수행하여 최종적으로 발사준비상태를 확인하게 된다. 이러한 자동체결장치의 운용 경험은 한국형발사체의 지상지원설비 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we have described an aircraft captive flight test for the development test of weapon systems. We have conducted a captive flight test for the development of core onboard parts and sensors of airborne weapons and guided missiles. We have used KTX-1/XKO-1 aircraft as a platform for the captive flight test. In order to perform a captive flight test, we have made a captive test pod as a shape of external fuel tank in the XKO-1 and have modified XKO-1 aircraft for a system interface. We have taken a development test about all kinds of seekers, navigation & guidance systems, and core part of guided missile through the aircraft captive flight test.

This study was carried out to improve the electric power consumption of HVAC in the blow mold machine(BMM) and work environment. The experiment was conducted with the simulated HVAC system of 1/15 of the actual BMM. The temperature of main facility and two preheaters was fixed at 200 and $60^{\circ}C$ respectively in all test conditions. The measured points of temperature were chosen as critical locations considering the work environment. The tendency of temperature distributions decreases as the duct was closed to the main facility. The reduction rate of power consumption of HVAC increases up to 32.3% when both duct and cooling systems are operated. Also the efficiency of HVAC is improved about 9% through the modified design of duct system. It notes that the electric power consumption of HVAC can be reduced by the optimum design and operating condition of duct and cooling system.

This is a study on the distribution of acoustic emission parameters during a burst test for a type-II CNG vehicle fuel tank. A resonant AE sensor with a central frequency of 150 kHz was attached to the composite materials in the center of the fuel tank. The pressure was increased from 30 to 100% of the expected burst pressure and was maintained for 10 minutes at each level. Damage at 70% of expected burst pressure occurred by various damage mechanisms including fiber breakage and delamination, while that of below 60% only occurred by matrix crack initiation and growth. The count, duration and rise time of the AE signal at 60% of the expected burst pressure are distributed below 500, 5000 ${\mu}s$ and 300 ${\mu}s$, respectively. Then, at above 70% they increased with pressure by superimposing of individual AE signal generated at a nearby place. These results confirmed that the analysis of the distribution of AE parameters is an effective tool for estimating damage of a CNG fuel tank.

Installation design methods and results of an aircraft engine on the wing-mounted-nacelle type aircraft has been presented in this paper. The design process starts from design requirements and constraints and covers some major aspects of the engine installation design such as wing-nacelle interference drag, roll clearance, ground clearance, nose gear collapse margin, rotor burst and fuel tank capacity. The method was applied to 100-seat class airplane(K100). Results of the design suggest optimum nacelle location and nacelle installation angle(toe-in, incidence, droop angle) which satisfies in stalled engine performance and size/location of wing dry day.

Ignition and combustion performance of a gas-turbine engine were changed by various high-altitude condition. A goal of this study is to make the small test facility to simulate high-altitude condition. To perform the low pressure condition, a diffuser was used in various diffuser front of primary nozzle pressure. To perform the low temperature, heat exchanger was used in various mixture ratio of cryogenic air and ambient temperature air. The experimental result shows that high-altitude conditions can be controled by diffuser front of primary nozzle pressure and mixture ratio of cryogenic air and ambient temperature air.

In this paper, we implemented the prevention of oil mixing accidents caused by stereotypes or novice drivers at gas stations. After the CO gas concentration of the fuel tank is measured using the MQ-9 gas sensor, the gasoline and diesel are distinguished from each other. This is decided by using a servomotor to lock of the fueling nozzle to prevent the mixing of oil. In addition, car washes time display is implemented by using infrared sensor to save the time and to provide convenience for customers who want to wash car after fueling.

Ultrasonic sensors show various reception characteristics based on the density of the measurement medium; hence, they are used in various fields to benefit from the characteristics of ultrasonic signals. In this study, the reception characteristics according to the thickness of the first matching layer are compared and analyzed for application to gas tank microleak detection. Accordingly, three types of sensors are manufactured with varying thicknesses of the first matching layer, namely 4.8 mm, 5.1 mm, and 5.5 mm; further, a direct measurement method is used wherein the sensor is attached to the inside of the chamber. Experiments are conducted to observe the phase change due to microleakage, which is the most linear in the sensor with the 4.8 mm thick first matching layer. This is assumed to be the result of stable signal transmission and reception with little phase deviations over time because the first matching layer is closest to the ultrasonic wavelength. The other sensors show nonlinear results with increasing thickness of the first matching layer. Through this study, it is found that appropriately selecting the thickness of the first matching layer of the ultrasonic sensor can greatly influence sensor reliability.

The global demand for Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) continues to increase and is facing a big cycle. To keep pace with the increase in international demand for LNG, the demand for LNG fueled ships is also increasing. Since LNG fuel tanks are operated in a cryogenic environment, insulation technology is very important, and although there are various types of insulation applied to Type C tanks, multi-layer insulation and vacuum insulation are typically applied. Powder insulation materials are widely used for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquids in tanks with such a complex insulation structure. In this study, compression tests at room and cryogenic temperature were performed on closed perlite, glass bubble, and fumed silica, which are representative powder insulation material candidates. Finally, the applicability to the Type C fuel tank was reviewed by analyzing the experimental results of this study.
