A preburner for the high performance, staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine is being developed. For the structural design processes, strength experiments and finite element analyses on specimens simulating the brazing joints of the preburner, were performed and compared. Total two kinds of the specimen were manufactured for the tests. One simulated the joints between the oxygen injectors and the head junctioned by the conventional vacuum brazing. The another was made to test the brazing surfaces by vacuum compression between the combustion chamber cooling channel and the outer wall. During the burst experiments, it was observed that the fractures were occurred not at the brazed joining but in the middle of the face plate and the cooling wall. In addition, the analysis showed that the predicted fracture locations and the strains were well matched with the experiment results.

Conceptual design and manufacturing scheme of a gas generator for 7 tonf class rocket engine were described. The combustion chamber pressure, O/F ratio, and total flow rate were decided to be 6 MPa, 0.321, and 1 kg/s respectively in consequence of the engine system design. Based on the parameters conceptual design of the gas generator was carried out and its outer dimension was about ${\Phi}100{\times}250mm$. Most parts of the gas generator to be jointed together by brazing or TIG welding and, if possible, the strength and leakproof tests are to be conducted in every step for checking the welding section.

Effects of the changes of a film cooling mass flow rate and operating conditions on the heat flux characteristics of the subscale calorimeter were studied. A film cooling ring with twelve orifices is inserted between the injector head and the calorimeter. The calorimeter is composed of nineteen cooling channels. When a mass flow rate of film cooling is 10.5 % of a main fuel mass flow rate, maximum heat flux at the nozzle throat is decreased by 30% compared to that without film cooling. In the OD3(of-design point) test result, maximum heat flux at the nozzle throat is increased by 31% compared to that of the DP(design point) test when a film cooling flow rate is zero.

This paper is a purpose to Analyze and study the failure examples for a engine oil leakage of camshaft bearing seal, poor contact by computer connector fin damage and vaporizer inferiority on LPG automotive. The first example, when the researcher disassembled the cylinder head of engine to establish the cause for oil leakage, he confirmed the engine oil leakage by damaged between the engine intake camshaft bearing and seal part. The second example, the connector fin of power source line that control the starting of a car supplied with engine computer. As a result, it found the fact that the engine operation stopped because of cutting of the power source by connector fin damage. The third example, it verified the engine incongruity phe cutting of the power source by connector fin damage. The third example, it verified the engine incongruity phenomenon as thd gas didn't flow the vaporizer by foreign substance deposit. Finally, it supplied a small quantity gas from vaporizer to mix. As the computer controlling mix opening condition supplied a air as opening signal, the air and fuel became rarefied state. it knew that the engine didn't produce prpper power. Therefore, a car have to throughtly inspect not in order to arise the failure symptoms.
