Burning rate of a propellent is an essential factor when designing a propulsion system. In order to come up with burning rate, first we need to design and build propellent grain to get neutral pressure curve. Then check the pressure with ground test and calculate the burning rate using burning rate equation. This burning rate is then compared to the burning rate of a propellent which was resulted from making a standardized specimen and combusting it using a strand burner. An accurate burning rate is calculated after comparing those two burning rates. For this study, compact propulsion system was designed, produced, tested and analyzed in order to get burning rates, an essential factor in propulsion system design, in an effective way.

대부분의 고체와 액체의 연소는 고체의 열분해에 의해 생성되는 가연성 기체나 액체의 증발에 의한 가연성증기가 공기중에 확산되는 형태의 확산연소이다. 이런 확산 연소에서 연소속도를 지배하는 요소는 연료와 산화제의 확산속도이며 고체와 액체 연료의 경우 기체상태의 열분해 생성물이나 증기의 생성속도가 연소속도에 영향을 미치는 요소가 된다. 이러한 형태의 연소에서 연료와 산화제의 공급상태에 따라 발열량 및 화염의 형태 등이 영향을 받게 된다. 화재에서 화재의 확대에 영향을 미치는 요소들 중에 화염의 높이와 복사열 에너지 등이 있다.(중략)

In order to obtain high thrust at the beginning of the flight, the solid rocket motor with large initial burning surface area was designed and tested. From the static firing test, lower initial thrust was obtained compared with the expected thrust based on the internal ballistic prediction due to the negative erosive burning effect which reduced the burning rate estimated by APN Law. In addition, the radial mode combustion instability was observed with 8 fins grain configuration. This instability was removed after the odd number of fins were used.

HTPB/AP/Al이 기본 조성인 ADP 302 혼합형 추진제를 대상으로 4종의 금속선(Ag, Cu, Al, Ni-Cr)을 삽입하여 금속선 직경(0.1mm~0.8mm)별로 압력에 따른 금속선과 인접한 추진제의 연소 속도($r_w)를 측정하여 금속선 삽입 추진제의 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)와 압력 지수( n )의 변화를 고찰한 결과 금속선 종류에 따른 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)는 Ag> Cu>Al>Ni-Cr선을 삽입한 추진제의 순으로 나타났고 금속선의 열확 산 계수의 크기순과 일치하였다. Buckingham $\pi$ 이론을 적용한 무차원 해석으로부터 실험식을 구하여, 이 실험식에 의해 계산된 ($r_w)와 실험으로부터 얻어진 ($r_w)를 서로 비교하여 본 결과 잘 부합됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 금속선 수에 따른 추진제 그레인의 연소 면적을 해석적으로 계산하여,($r_w$/$r_sb$)가 2, 3, 4, 5 배로 증가함에 따른 시간에 따른 연소 면적 증가비의 변화를 금속선 수에 따라서 비교하여 본 결과 정상 상태에서의 그레인의 연소 면적의 증가비($A_b$/$A_0$)는 금속선에 인접한 추진제의 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)와 일치했으며, 정상 상태의 연소 면적 증가비는 삽입된 금속선의 수와는 무관하며 정상 상태에 도달하는 시간에만 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

We manufactured standard motor to measure burning rate of propellant, used to estimate burning rate of main motor by static fired testing. We installed static fired testing facility and developed standard motor more lightly to accomplish the test. As a result of the tests, we could get the burning rate closer than acquired by existing method to the main motor's on. And we confirmed repeatability by many times of tests. We will use this method positively for R&D and quality assurance activity of mass production.

In this study, we carried out the study on the combustion characteristics of HTPB/AP propellants with Al and Zr as fuel metal in order to develop the solid propellant with high burning rate. The major combustion characteristics of propellant were investigated as measuring of the burning rate and pressure exponent, and the HTPB/AP solid propellants were prepared with introducing Butacene as burning rate catalyst for the enhancement of burning rate. The propellant with Al and Zr was demonstrated the improvement of propellant performance and combustion characteristic.

In this study, the current researches and the developing trend of the high burning rate solid propellants were briefly introduced and the effects of burning rate modifiers in the propellants on the combustion properties were reviewed. At the same time, bis(ethylenediamine)copper perchlorate(BECP) has been prepared as a burning rate modifier, and the burning characteristics were investigated in Butacene/AP propellants. The results showed that the metal complex, BECP, can increase remarkably the burning rate of high burning rate Butacene/AP propellants.

Notable are the burning rate characteristics of solid propellant burning at extremely high pressure(10000-20000 psia). The burning rate test using closed bomb shows the discontinuous increment around 4000 psia so that the exponent of burning rate(n) is almost double, from 0.4 to 0.8. The pressure-increasing rate of the test motor is about 300 times as high as that of the motor operating at the conventional pressure, less than 2000 psia, is, therefor the burning rate is augmented about 5-50 times. The performance prediction reflecting the pressure-change-rate effect are fairly comparable with the test data at various test conditions.

In the previous study, we have developed an ultrasonic measurement system and analysis technique for borning rate testing of solid propellants using ultrasound. And then, using the developed system, burning rate of composite propellants were measured. So, in this study, we performed measurement of double base solid propellant, which has non-linear homing rate as pressure increasing, using the developed system in order to evaluate capability of ultrasonic method. Furthermore, accuracy of measured homing rates using ultrasound was verified by comparison to homing rate measured by the strand burner method.

An experimental study of the flame response in a turbulent premixed combustor has been conducted in order to investigate mechanisms for combustion instabilities in lean premixed gas turbine combustor. A lab-scale combustor and mixing section system were fabricated to measure the flame transfer function. Measurements are made of the velocity fluctuation in the nozzle using hot wire anemometry and of the heat release fluctuation in the combustor using chemiluminescence emission. The results are analyzed to determine the phase and gain of the flame transfer function as a function of the modulation frequency and operating conditions.
