The design procedures of full-scale combustion chamber with chamber pressure of 53bara, mass flow rate of 90kg/s, combustion efficiency of $94\%$ and specific impulse at ground of 253sec were described. The details of combustion performance and geometrical parameters were also given. Full-scale combustion chamber consists of the combustor head with injector/baffle and the chamber/nozzle with regenerative cooling channels. The design results of combustion chamber with ablative materials, detachable injector head with SUS baffle or baffle injector and chamber body for ground hot firing tests were given in this paper.

Test results of combustion chamber to verify the operation and the combustion performance at low pressure, design and off-design conditions for 30ton-class liquid rocket engine were described. The combustion chamber has nominal chamber pressure of 60 bar, propellant mass flow rate of 89 kg/s, and nozzle expansion of 12. Effects of chamber pressure on combustion characteristic velocity are largely affected by mixture ratio. The specific impulse of combustion chamber is proportional to the chamber pressure regardless of the mixture ratios. The present results can be used as the base to predict the combustion performance of large sized chamber at high pressure while demonstrating the possibility of low pressure firing test of large sized chamber.

Sub-system requirements of a pressure-fed hot-firing test facility for performance assessment of a Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) thrust chamber using Liquid oxygen and kerosene were described. These requirements were based on the experience of construction and operation of the ground hot-firing test facility which was used for the development of the KSR-III and a 30 tonf-class LRE thrust chamber. So it is expected that this paper is used as a basic material and an itemized previous review statement for the design and construction of a large hot-firing test facility.

본 논문은 산업체에서 발생하는 휘발성 유기물질을 연소하는 직접연소기술에 선회연소 개념을 접목하여 개발된 Cyclonic recuperative thermal oxidation system의 연소성능 실험 결과이다. 기존의 recuperative system의 열효율이 75%로 regenerative thermal oxidation보다 낮아 운전비가 많이 소요되는 단점을 극복하기 위해 기존의 연소실에 cyclone 연소시스템을 적용하여 고효율화 시키고자 하는 것이 핵심이다.(중략)

본 논문은 다중이용업소와 목조건축물에 자주 사용되는 미송합판에 방염처리를 하여 유사 화재를 구현하고, 그 화염 세기에 따른 방염의 실효성을 실험한 것이다. 방염처리를 하면 화재 시 가연물의 초기착화시간을 지연시켜 화재성장속도를 늦출 수 있고, 원활한 소화활동을 가능하게 해준다. 하지만 어느 정도 화재가 진행되어 화염이 거세지면, 45도 연소시험을 통한 방염기준을 충족하여도 그 성능을 기대하기 어렵다고 한다. 따라서 45도 연소시험 시 사용되는 65mm의 불꽃보다 큰 화염상태(초기착화 이후의 상태)에서 방염처리한 내장재(미송합판)의 방염성능이 유지되는지의 여부를 실제로 입증하고 그 근거를 뒷받침하기 위하여 본 연구를 시작하게 되었다. 실험에서는 화재의 규모(화염의 세기)를 달리하여 각기 다른 종류의 방염제로 방염 처리한 미송합판의 착화 시 화염온도, 복사열 유속 그리고 착화지연시간을 파악하였으며, 45도 연소시험과 관련하여 방염성능을 분석하였다. 45도 연소시험의 경우 실험에 사용한 방염 처리 합판은 방염성능 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 소규모 유사 화재로 직경 10cm 연소용기를 사용한 연소실험에서는 방염 처리한 합판의 착화지연시간이 평균적으로 대규모 유사 화재실험보다 길어 어느 정도는 방염효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 대규모 유사 화재로 1단위 유류화재 연소용기를 사용한 연소실험의 경우 열방출율이 커 형성된 탄화막이 무분별하게 박리되고 발화가 일어나 착화지연시간의 차이를 구별하기 어려웠기 때문에 방염효과를 기대할 수 없었다.

In this study, combustion tests were performed to investigate combustion performance of a pintle injector engine with double row rectangular slot which uses kerosene and liquid oxygens as propellants. The double row rectangular slot was designed to improve the combustion performance of a pintle engine with a single row and the blockage factor was changed from 0.7 to 1.0. The main design parameters of the double row were distance between rows, area ratio and aspect ratio. The characteristic velocity efficiency was measured from 92.4 to 96.9 percentage for double row but 86.8 percentage for single row. It showed the highest combustion performance at the BF 0.85.

In this study, AP added propellant has been proposed as a method of enhancing the low specific impulse performance found for staged hybrid rocket engine. Experimental tests were carried out to analyze and evaluate the effect of AP added propellant on specific impulse performance as well as fuel-rich combustion characteristics in a staged hybrid rocket engine. Upper limit of AP content in propellant was set to be 15 wt% to maintain the hybrid rocket engine advantages. As a result, 15 wt% AP added propellant showed 3% higher specific impulse performance compared to 0 wt% AP added propellant. Moreover, AP addition proved to offer less injected oxidizer mass flow, less O/F variation, and less combustion pressure while producing fuel-rich gas of the same combustion temperature. Future studies will carry out more combustion tests with metal additives to further enhance specific impulse.

In this study, study on the internal ballistic analysis method for single-chamber dual-thrust rocket motors meeting a dual-thrust profile requirement by tailoring the grain burning area is presented. The analysis method, which can acquire variables required for the performance prediction, considering gradual change of burning rate correction factor and specific impulse in the transition phase, is proposed. Improvements compared to the analysis method in the previous study, which do not consider change in the transition phase, are verified through comparison between the newly proposed method and the method in the previous study. Internal ballistic variables are obtained for four different ground firing test conditions using the proposed method, and the performance prediction for each condition is conducted using these variables. These prediction results and the ground test data are in good agreement, so it is confirmed that the performance prediction of dual-thrust motors with same design geometries based on the proposed analysis method is available.

Stability rating of KSR-III rocket engine is conducted based on stability rating tests in the course of development of KSR-III rocket engine. Rocket engine is approved to have combustion stabilization ability when it can suppress the external perturbation or pressure oscillation with finite amplitude and recover the original stable combustion. Rocket engine in flight may be perturbed by unexpectedly large-amplitude pressure oscillation and thus a designer should not only assure combustion stabilization ability of the engine but also quantify the stabilization capacity. For this, principal quantitative parameters and their evaluation are introduced. To verify dynamic stability of KSR-III rocket engine, six stability rating tests have been conducted. Based on these test results, such parameters are quantified and thereby, the stabilization capacity of KSR-III rocket engine is evaluated.
