  • The objective of the present study is to develop methodology for the assessment of combustion stability of liquid rocket injectors. To simulate actual combustion occurring inside of a thrust chamber, a fullscale injector has been employed in the study, which bums gaseous oxygen and mixture of methane and propane. The main idea of the experiment is that the mixing mechanism is considered as a dominant factor significantly affecting combustion instability in a fullscale thrust chamber. A single split triplet injector has been used with an open-end cylindrical combustion chamber. The characteristics revealed by excited dynamic pressures in gaseous combustion show degrees of relative acoustic damping depending on operating conditions. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

  • The development of a combustion chamber for a 30-$ton_f$ regeneratively-cooled space liquid rocket engine is described. Starting from the development of bi-propellant swirl coaxial injectors, essential technologies were verified through subscale combustion chambers and afterwards applied to the full-scale combustion chambers. A total of 5 full-scale combustion chambers have been utilized to verify ignition, combustion efficiency and stability, cooling, and duration requirements. A total of 46 combustion tests were performed among which 23 tests were parallely performed with stability rating tests using a pulse gun device. The test results have revealed that the 30-$ton_f$ regeneratively-cooled combustion chamber fully complies to the performance and combustion stability requirements and thus concluded that the development is successfully completed.

  • Hot-firing tests were performed on two 30 tonf-class regenerative cooling combustion chambers, with different injector distribution and wall cooling method. In the paper, the combustion stability test results were analyzed and presented. The pressure fluctuation and stability rating test(SRT) results of the combustion chambers were examined to evaluate combustion stability. The combustion chambers exhibited satisfactory results on combustion stability. The RMS values of the chamber pressure fluctuation were less than 3% of the chamber pressure and the decay time of artificial pressure peaks was measured to be around 10% of the reference decay time. It is interesting that the RMS values of pressure fluctuation in the combustion chamber with film cooling are smaller than those in the chamber with cooling injectors at the periphery row.

  • To optimize and limit the axial length of the baffle of the KSR-III engine, stability rating tests using pulse gun as one of artificial disturbance devices have been done. Generally a rocket engine can be considered to be dynamically stable if a certain imposed external perturbation or pressure oscillation in rocket combustion chamber could be suppressed within a short time period. Decay time and other parameters for the evaluation of stabilization ability of an engine to external perturbation have been analyzed to quantify stabilization capacity of engine, in other words, dynamic stability margin. Baffle not covering flame zone enough which can be considered as collision region of injector wasn't be able to suppress external perturbation sufficiently. The limit of combustion stability margin of engine is assumed to be 50 mm length baffle of the KSR-III engine.

  • Firing tests have been performed for a 30 tonf-class full-scale regeneratively cooled combustion chamber. It was the first model which has welded construction of the injection head and the combustion chamber. A number of firing tests have been performed to evaluate combustion efficiency, regenerative cooling performance and durability of the combustor. This paper describes the results of firing tests performed at the design and off-design conditions which correspond to the chamber pressure of 60 bar, 68 bar respectively and the O/F ratio of 2.5 and 2.8 respectively. The data at each test condition have provided successful results in terms of combustion performance, combustion stability and durability. The tests are considered to be quite meaningful in the sense that the technologies for kerosene regeneratively cooled combustion chamber are successfully proven.

  • In the experimental study of $N_2$ purge cold flow test of impinging(FOOF) injector for determining of instability region, the whistling sound which has a specific frequency is generated. The frequency of whistling is proportional to the gas flow velocity in part of the oxidizer orifice and due to the coupling of the vibrating gas column and the natural frequency of pipe-orifice shape, the discontinuous jumping phenomena arises. The whistling phenomena have no effect on the combustion instability. Compared the damping factor of 1T1L mode with the hot fire test, the instability region of $N_2$ purge cold flow test is very much like that. It means that flow instability by impinging or mixing of jet is the main reason of combustion instability of impinging injector(FOOF) in the hot firing test.

  • This study was aimed to assess combustion stability for coaxial swirl injector and FOOF impinging injector which would be candidates in liquid rocket engine combustors. Simulating combustion tests under atmospheric condition have been conducted by gaseous oxygen and the mixture of methane and propane, using two actual injectors. By analyzing the measured dynamic pressure signals, we have evaluated the combustion stability margin of both injectors by drawing a stability map.

  • The development process of a gas generator for a 30-tonf pump-fed space liquid rocket engine is described. Starting from the development of an injector, followed by subscale and full-scale test specimens, the development of LOx/kerosene fuel-rich gas generator has been concluded successfully. Various analytical methods have been utilized in the course of design and the performance requirements have been verified experimentally through ignition tests, combustion performance and stability assessment tests and duration tests. The gas generator has proven its workability and stability within a defined operation window of varying chamber pressure and mixture ratio and demonstrated compliance to the performance and life time requirements.

  • A method to calculate stability limits is investigated to predict the characteristics of high-frequency combustion instability in liquid-propellant rocket engine. It is based on the theory of linear stability analysis proposed in previous works and useful to predict combustion stability at the beginning stage of engine development. The system of equations governing reactive flow in combustor has the simplified and linearized forms. The overall equation expressing stability limits is adopted. The procedures to evaluate quantitatively each term included in the equation are proposed. The thermo-chemical properties and flow variables required in the evaluation can be obtained from calculation of thermodynamic equilibrium, CFD results, and experimental test data. Based on the existent data, stability limits are calculated with actual rocket engine (KSR-III rocket engine). The present calculations show the reasonable stability limits in a quantitative manner and the stability characteristics of the engine are discussed. The prediction from linear stability analysis could be serve as the first approximation to the true prediction.

  • The development of a pulse gun used for the combustion stability rating test(SRT) has been domestically tried out since the SRT should be accompanied in the process of the development of LREs. At the beginning of the development, a rupture problem of the pulse gun body had been solved by changing its material and increasing its thickness. Also, the sealing test was undertaken for a pulse gun equipped with a membrane before conducting a explosion test and by using a specially designed jig after a explosion test. Since it is appropriate to reuse the holder of a pulse gun cavity for an actual SRT, a series of experiments for several variants has been taken to make it reusable. After all, the solution for a reusable holder of a pulse gun has been found and applied for complementing its specification.
