MOV(Main Oxidizer shut-off Valves) control the combustion of launch vehicle systems by the supply and the isolation of liquid oxygen to a main combustion chamber in launch vehicle systems. Moreover, the MOV should secure a constant flow rate of liquid oxygen for combustion instability in the steady operational state. Although it has been showed that a EM(Engineering Model) with a high discharge coefficient value compared with the TM(Technology Model) fills the overall performance requirements, additional design modifications in some critical parts of the EM were conducted to improve the performance. The configurations of the pressure-control body, the middle flange, and the rips of the inlet body of the EM were modified and the performance tests have been performed with test models. Consequently, the intended improvements have been verified by the performance tests.

Reaction-to-Fire's performances such as combustion properties of sandwich panels were tested according to ISO 13784-1 (room corner test for sandwich panel building systems) method which is made for the purpose of supplementing ISO 9705 room corner test, and analyzed comparatively. Several variables including heat release rate, smoke production rate, FIGRA, SMOGRA, thermal configuration, visual check lists and so on, were analyzed for specific four materials on sandwich panel systems. Finally, Reaction-to-Fire's performances of test results on each material by ISO 13784-1 are categorized by applying to the classification systems of both EN 13501-1 and Eurefic Research Program.

Mixing performance between fuel and oxidizer is a significant parameter of combustion efficiency and stability in an air-turbo ramjet combustor. Two types of petal mixer were experimented to research the mixing performance. Mixing performance and fuel distribution images were obtained for petal mixers. Planar laser-induced fluorescence(PLIF) was used to obtain 2-D fuel distribution. The obtained images were processed in order to make use of the image information to a quantitative level. The results of analyzing the fluorescence images could be useful to find better mixing performance between mixers.

In this study, the combustion properties, which are called the reaction-to-fire's performance, of sandwich panels were tested and analyzed according to both ISO 5660 (cone calorimeter method) and EN 13823 (SBI). Several variables including ignition time, mass loss, heat release rate, smoke production rate and $O_2$ density about four sandwich panels and four core materials (thermal insulation material) were evaluated. Combustion properties' similarity and difference of sandwich panels and core materials were compared by materials and test methods respectively. Finally test results were evaluated by Japanese standard building code, National Building code of Canada and EN 13501-1 as well.

KSLV-II ullage motor is a type of the separation motor of Korea Space Launch Vehicle. Simultaneously operates with the retro Motor to perform the stage separation. The internal ballistics design, application of propellant composition, and the design of the combustion chamber and the canted nozzle were performed in accordance with the target performance of the ullage motor. Ti-6Al-4V alloy was applied to the combustion as material of chamber and nozzle. The heat resistant material of the nozzle was selected to ensure the heat resistance of the propellant containing a large amount of aluminum. And the combustion performance of the ullage motor satisfying the KSLV-II requirements was secured by performing the ground combustion test.

Fuel/air mixing in air turbo ramjet(ATR) combustor is a significant parameter of combustion stability and efficiency. In this study, fuel distribution in the ATR model combustor was measured to compare the degree of mixing with respect to the velocity ratio$(r=v_a/v_f)$ between fuel gas and air. Planar laser-induced fluorescence(PLIF) and image processing method were used to obtain two dimensional fuel distribution. Fuel mixing went bad with approaching to r=1.

점차 엄격해지는 요구조건을 만족시켜 주기 위해서는 승용차용 엔진의 실제특성과 운전특성을 지 배하는 설계변수의 조절은 불가피하며, 그중에서도 엔진의 핵심부인 연소질의 설계는 가장 중요 하다. 부분 부하에서의 SI기관의 연료경제성을 향상시키는 가장 좋은 방법이 압축비를 상승시 키는 것이므로, 앞으로의 여소실은 고압축비에서도 옥탄가가 높은 연료를 요구하는 성향을 낮 추는 특성을 갖고 있어야 한다. 새로운 엔진의 향상을 최적화하기 위하여는 quench area의 크 기와 위치 그리고 적절한 quench distance의 성질이 중요하며, 또한 연소실의 소형화, 스파크 플러크의 위치, 표면적/체적의 비 그리고 화염전파거리등도 고려에 넣어야 한다. 승용차용 엔진의 요구조건은 연소실을 피스톤 크라운에 위치시키는 용이한 방법을 통하여 해결될 수 있으며, 이 러한 형상의 연소실은 실린더 헤드에 장치한 연소실과 비교하여 다음과 같은 장점을 갖고 있다. - 스파크 플러그 주변에 연소실을 배치하기 쉽다. - 연소실 내에 quench area의 설정이 자유롭다. - 연소실 layout의 개조없이 압축비의 설정이 자유롭다. - 연소실의 조합이 간단하다. - 실린더벽으로의 열손실이 감소되어 열효율이 증대된다. - 공연비의 희박가능한계가 크다. - EGR성능이 향상되어 NOx 의 배출과 연료소비율이 감소된다. - 필요하다면 연소실실 또는 직접분사식 Diesel 기관으로서의 개조가 간단하다. 만약 생산단가가 크게 상승하지 않는다면, NOx의 배출과 연료소비율이 작으면서도, 비출력이 큰 4-밸브 연소실이 실용화 될 전망이다.

A design of regenerative cooling system of 30 ton level thrust combustion chamber for ground test has been performed. The 1-D design code has been validated by comparing with the heat flux of the NAL calorimeter for high chamber pressure and water-cooling performance of the ECC engine of MOBIS. The present design code has been confirmed to predict accurately the heat flux and water-cooling performance for high chamber pressure condition. The maximum hot-gas-side wall temperature is predicted to be about 720 K without thermal barrier coating and the coolant-side wall temperature is less than the coking temperature of RP-1. The coolant temperature rises nearly 100 K with thermal barrier coating when Jet-A1 is used as coolant.
