The paper includes the analytic results of pressure fluctuation data from the combustion of an oxidizer-rich preburner applicable to high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine systems. The combustion experiments went through two different steps of a chamber pressure during single run. Self-excited pressure fluctuations with a frequency of 78 Hz were observed only at the relatively low chamber pressure condition. These pressure fluctuations are regarded as a bulk mode. The intensity of pressure fluctuations by a root-mean-square value is 13.3% normalized by the chamber static pressure and no pressure excitation was observed at the design pressure condition. The bulk mode has an identical phase across the inside of the chamber and reveals the similar characteristics to the Helmholtz resonator.

An experimental study was conducted to observe the spray characteristics for different flow rates and rotating speeds of a rotating fuel nozzle of a slinger combustor. The water spray ejected from the nozzle orifice was visualized using a high-speed camera and a light source. It was confirmed that the atomization was improved, as the flow rate decreased and rotating speed increased. The characteristic maps for the spray characteristics and performance parameters showed that the aerodynamic Weber number and the liquid-air momentum flux ratio were associated with the liquid primary breakup, and the liquid-air momentum flux ratio and Rossby number were closely correlated with the liquid ejection mode.

In this work, we have developed a 1D network model aimed at predicting eigenvalues for resonance frequency analysis in a lab-scale industrial gas turbine single nozzle combustion system. Modern industrial gas turbines generally adopt combustors with very complex geometry and flow path to meet various design requirements simultaneously. The current study has developed a network model for combustion systems with backflow at the same axial location. The modeling results of resonance frequencies and mode distributions for a given system using the network model were validated from comparisons with prediction results using a 3D Helmholtz solver.

After Sep. 2017, the LEV3 emission standard will be applied to gasoline and gas vehicles in Korea. This standard has HWFET and SFTP standard as well as FTP-75. Most of LPG vehicles were certificated as SULEV in Korea. Until now, only FTP-75 standard is applying for the certification but it is expected that HWFET and SFTP are used after beginning LEV3. In this paper, 8 LPG and 4 gasoline vehicles were tested on FTP-75 and SFTP to check whether the LPG vehicles can meet LEV3 SFTP standard or not and to suggest direction of development. Most of test vehicles did not meet the SFTP standard. To make up for the fault, fuel injection control improvement is needed.

Prediction of failure behavior in filament-wound composite motor cases is one of the important issues for their reliable application. Acoustic emission during hydroproof testing of the cases is used to solve this problem. Based on the acoustic emission behavior, failure sites can be located successfully. The identification of failure modes is also possible using the distribution of acoustic emission amplitude. Due to the limitation in the number of samples, it is not possible to predict the final burst pressure of motor cases and the effect of impact damage on the final burst pressure.

Linear stability analysis for combustion instability within a cylindrical port of solid rocket motor has been conducted. The analysis of acoustic energy has been performed by a commercial COMSOL code to obtain the mode function associated to each acoustic mode prior to the calculation of stability alpha. An instability diagnosis based on the linear stability analysis of Culick is performed where special interests have been focused on 5 stability factors(alpha) such as pressure coupling, nozzle damping, particle damping and additionally, flow turning effect and viscous damping to take into account the flow and viscosity effect near the fuel surface. The instability decay characteristics depending on the particle size is also analyzed.

Composite motor cases fabricated by the filament winding method are structurally weak in the dome when they are required to withstand the internal pressure of the combustion gas. In this study, a finite element analysis is conducted to compare the burst pressure of a composite dome according to the variation of the pressure distribution ratio(PDR). The performance of the composite motor case was compared quantitatively by calculating the stress on the inner and outer dome surfaces and metal boss volume. As a result, the critical point of the failure mode was observed at a PDR between 2.5 and 3.0. A design at a PDR of 2.5­-3.5 can reduce the weight of metal boss without fluctuation in the burst pressure of the combustion motor case. Moreover as the design reference value changes according to the dome shape and opening size, further analysis and testing are necessary.

In the present study, $CO_2$ permeation through a hydrophilic NaY zeolite membrane was studied under permeate evacuation mode for $CO_2$ single gas, $CO_2-N_2$ and $CO_2-O_2$ binary mixtures, and $CO_2-N_2-O_2$ ternary mixture. It was reconfirmed that the $CO_2$ permeation was governed by surface diffusion and the $CO_2$ selectivity was induced from blocking effect of adsorbed $CO_2$ molecules. The $CO_2$ permeance measured in permeate evacuation mode was much lower than that done in He sweeping mode, but was comparable to that obtained under feed pressurization mode. The NaY zeolite membrane showed a considerable $CO_2$ separation for $14%CO_2-80%N_2-6%O_2$ mixture : $CO_2$ permeance was about $1{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2secPa$ and $CO_2$ selectivity was more than 10. Therefore, it was concluded that NaY zeolite membrane was one of promising membranes for post-combustion CCS process.

The emission standard of diesel engine on the construction equipment has been rapidly enhanced in advanced countries, because most of air pollutions was caused by construction equipment. So, all of the construction equipments will be tested for emission with standard measurement mode. But, the standard measurement mode of construction equipment is different for non-road and one for the road in korea. This study was conducted to measure emission characteristics of the construction equipment with changed standard measurement mode and to improvement the emissions experimentally.

본 논문에서는 평택화력 제2호기 FDF(Forced Draft Fan : 압입송풍기, 이하 FDF) 출구의 공기량제어를 Vane Control 시스템으로 구성되어 있는 것을 구동 유도전동기에 가변속 제어시스템(이하 VFD: Variable Frequency Drive)으로 교체하여 발생한 실험결과를 보여준다. VFD는 Vane을 전개(全開)하고 전동기 속도를 변경시켜 연소에 필요한 노내 공기량을 제어하는 방식이다. VFD 운전은 정속도 Vane 개도 운전에 비해 Throttle Loss를 최소화해서 에너지 절감효과는 크지만 간단한 Vane 제어기에 비해 복잡한 전력전자제어시스템이 어우러진 기기로 신뢰도는 떨어지는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 전력생산 보일러에서 후비보호책으로 VFD 고장 시에 Vane제어 모드로 절환은 필연적으로 필요한 설비이다. VFD에서 Vane으로 절환 시에 일어나는 과도상태를 최소화하기 위해서는 보일러 연소제어 알고리즘의 최적화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 구현된 제어알고리즘을 정리한 것이다.
