The reactive Eulerian-Lagrangian code is utilized to simulate combustion of ZPP/THPP in a closed vessel. In the paper, ignition delay of THPP is mainly studied since ZPP and THPP are isolated by a boron nitride wall. Only a numerical case study is conducted as experimental observation is inaccessible. Results showed THPP ignition delay affects initial shock strength thus not only the first peak become weak, but also the frequency of a pressure oscillation is slowed.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) induced by shock wave and flame interaction in ethylene-air mixtures. Also shows the change of DDT triggering time by wall cooling effect. A model is consisted of the compressible reactive Navier-Stokes equations. And the effect of viscosity, thermal conduction, molecular diffusion, chemical reaction and wall effect are included. Using this model, the generation of hot spot by repeated shock and flame interaction, occurrence of detonation, and wall cooling effect of detonation confining boundaries are studied.

At the early stages of development of high-speed propulsion systems, associated uncertainties cannot be easily modeled into probabilistic distributions, owing to the lack of test data, cost, and difficulty of simulating real-flight environments on the ground. To tackle this issue, in this research, the combustion efficiencies of dual-combustion ramjet engines are assumed to have been provided by experts and quantified by evidence theory. Using quantified uncertainty, the inlet area and combustor exit are optimized while satisfying reliability margins of thrust and thermal choking. The result shows a reasonable design of the engine under uncertain circumstances.

In-house code which simulates the performance of pre-burner in staged-combustion liquid-fueled rocket engine was developed and demonstrated. Chemical reaction of pre-burner was modeled based on analytic algorithm of CEA (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications) and gas dynamics model was incorporated with it. Comparison results between in-house code and CEA have shown small relative errors except at very high or very low O/F ratio. Also the performance curve obtained by in-house code revealed that the calculated values follow the overall trend of real engine (RD-8) performance quite well and at steady-state operation, the deviation became very small.

고리 1 호기 원자로 감시？슐에서의 고속중성자 플루언스를 계산하기 위하여 MCNP코드로 3차원 모델링을 하였다. 중성자선원은 MCNP에 의해 계산된 핵연료봉출력분포를 사용하였고 원자로심부터 원자로 압력용기 밖까지 1 MeV이상의 중성자를 수송시켰다. 감시？슐은 실제의 같은 크기로 모델링하였고 감시？슐안의 시편은 원자로 압력용기와 같은 재질의 직육면체로 가정하였다. 그리고 MCNP에 의해 감시시편내의 방사화 시료의 핵반응단면적을 계산하였다. 또한 MCNP에 의해 이론적으로 계산된 감시？슐에서 중성자 플루언스와 기존의 감시시험에서 측정된 포화방사능으로 부터 계산된 실험적 감시？슐 중성자 플루언스를 비교하였다. 이론적 ？슐플루언스와 실험적 ？슐플루언스의 비는 대체로 1.0에서 크게 벗어나지 않았으나 감시시험과 시편에 따라 크게 벗어나는 경우도 있었다. MCNP에 의한 유효반응단면적의 계산방법이 기존의 방법보다 모델링 및 계산의 불확실성을 최소화 할 수 있으므로 이번 연구에서 고려하지 못한 원자로심의 연소도를 고려한다면 매우 신뢰성이 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

A liquid rocket engine system can cause rapid pressure and temperature variations during the startup period. Thus the startup analysis is required to reduce time and expense for successful development of liquid rocket engine through the startup prediction. In this study, a startup analysis simulator is developed for a staged combustion cycle engine powerpack. This simulator calculates propellant flow rates using pressure and flow rate balances. In addition, a rotational speed of turbopump is obtained as a function of time by mathematical modeling. A startup analysis result shows that the time to reach a steady-state and a rotational speed at the steady-state are 1.3 sec and 27,500 rpm, respectively. Moreover it can indicate proper startup sequences for stable operation.

In this study, combustion modeling of ZPP and $BKNO_3$ mainly used in the PMD industries has been performed. Saint Robert's law, energy conservation equation, and the Noble-Abel equation of the state have been used for governing equations. The results of pressure obtained from established combustion models and actual CBT have been compared. In the case of ZPP, the model has predicted a pressure curve similar to that of the experimental results, but $BKNO_3$ has showed that the maximum pressure of the model is greater than the experiment at small chamber volume. For these gaps, the probability of $BKNO_3$ unburning has been considered.

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.

Elastic-Plastic structural analysis was performed to evaluate structural characteristic and integrity for rocket motor case of solid propulsion system. The structural analyses were compared and evaluated using the simplified 2-D axisymmetric model and 3-D full model for rocket motor case with torispherical dome type. And pre-tension load for bolt model was considered in structural analysis. The results of displacement and stress for the simplified 2-D axisymmetric model and 3-D full model were in an good agreement with each other. Therefore, the simplified 2-D axisymmetric model for rocket motor case was recommended to verify quickly the structural integrity and save the modeling and calculating time in initial design stage. Also, the structural characteristic and integrity for rocket motor case according to 5 dome types was evaluated to select the optimal dome shape.

Numerical study was investigated to obtain the database for developing a fast pyrolysis power boiler by waste fuel. The studies with various conditions were performed using ANSYS FLUENT. Also, the fuel properties was experimentally analyzed to utilize the input parameters for numerical analysis, that were proximate and ultimate analysis, reaction kinetics included pyrolysis and combustion. The results showed that temperature, combustion and exhausted gases was changed with heating value of fuel and feeding rate. Finally, the stable operating condition by analyzing results was proposed.
