The characteristics at the intermediate operation point of the turbopump-gas generator(TP-GG) coupled test were investigated by analytical method. The pump outlet pressure, gas generator mixture ratio, gas generator pressure, and temperature were examined considering risk minimization of test. The engine system shows different behavior from the TP-GG coupled test at the intermediate operation point since the combustion pressure feeds back to the flow rate in the lines. The advanced valve changes in the combustor line helps less risky mode transition.

To trace the working point of pressure-fed rocket propulsion system, direct analogy model was suggested, by which propellant mass flow rate and combustion chamber pressure were calculated from propellant tank pressures, levels and flight acceleration. In this paper, the analysis of KSR-III flight test results was taken by example, and it can be described that working point transition tendency of pressure-fed rocket propulsion system can be calculated by this direct analogy model.

This paper investigates the off-design performance of methane-fueled air turbo ramjet(ATR) engine in subsonic flight speed range. The ATR engine was modeled and simulated numerically. Each component was modeled to enable their off-design calculation. Compressor operating point was determined by flow matching with nozzle, and turbine by work matching. The ATR engine exhibited quite different off-design behavior compared to the conventional gas turbine engine.

작동유체로서 비등점이 서로 다른 2종류, 즉 2성분 혼합물을 사용한 2상 밀폐 열싸이폰은 단일성분의 열싸이폰 보다 공학적으로 우수한 성능을 갖는다. 따라서 상 분리 현상이 나타나지 않은 안정적인 혼합물인 물/에탄올의 혼합물을 작동유체로 사용한 열싸이폰의 작동특성이 실험적으로 수행되었다. 실험에서는 시동성, 정상상태 작동, 경사시 작동특성 및 열전달 한계(Dry-out) 등에 관한 2성분 열싸이폰의 작동특성에 관해서 고찰되었다.

In this study, a performance analysis code was developed for the off-design performance analysis of air turbo ramjet(ATR) engine, and the analyses were performed for the pre-designed ATR engine at several operating points in the envelope. Variable intake and thrust nozzle were assumed to cover the wide envelope. Mathematical models for each components were developed to calculate their off-design performance. Simple design formulas were introduced for some components to explore the performance variation versus the design parameters. As a result, the pre-defined engine couldn't cover the entire mission profile. And it was also found that the effect of the pre-cooler was not very great, especially in the region of low Mach number.

파울링은 열교환기에 형성되는 열저항으로 에너지 손실에 많은 영향을 미친다. 그러나 파울링은 그 예측이나 감소 또는 제거가 매우 어려운 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 작동유체자체를 철결하게 유지함으로써 파울링을 감소할 수도 있으나 작동유체 자체의 특성 때문에 본질적으로 작동유체를 청결하게 유지할 수 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 즉, 폐열 회수의 대상이 되는 액체가 하천수나 생 활하수인 경우 작동액체를 청결하게 유지함으로써 파을링을 저감시피는 방법은 타당치 않다.일 본의 폐얼회수 프로젝트와 담수화 프로젝트에서 특이한 점은 두 가지 프로젝트에서 열교환기면의 파울링 문제 해경을 전열 촉진의 내용과 거의 비슷한 비중으로 다루고 있다는 점이다. 파울링은 오래 전부터 열시스템설계자의 주요 관심사였으나 큰 진전은 없었다. 그러나 현재는 주변기술이 발달로 더 이상 연구 불가능 영역은 아닐 듯 싶다.

A CFD code was developed to investigate the inception of cavitation around impeller blades of centrifugal fuel pump using two dimensional cascade modeling. With the verification test for numerical validity of the developed code, the prediction of the onset of cavitation was made for the configuration of a newly designed KHP fuel pump. The calculation results show impeller design was free of cavitation if the pump operates within the operational temperature and rotational speed range. However, the cavitation would be relatively easy to occur at off design region of fuel pump where the rotational speed is higher than design limit. Specially, the onset of cavitation is sensitively dependent on the increase in fuel temperature while the decrease in temperature will reduce the possibility of cavitation inception in the pump.

This research was conducted for an acquisition of the ramjet engine test facility design technique which are concerned about freejet type test facility. In this research, we concentrated on the design technique and the construction technique of the vitiation air heater(VAH), test section, diffuser and ejector. Based on the operating modes of the basic test facility, ten operating modes in coordinates "Altitude-Mach number" was regenerated from Mach 2, Altitude 0km to Mach 5, Altitude 15km. In this operating modes, we calculated a design parameter of the supersonic nozzle, VAH, diffuser and ejector and acquired a technique for the ramjet test facility operating and repairing.

Effects of the changes of a film cooling mass flow rate and operating conditions on the heat flux characteristics of the subscale calorimeter were studied. A film cooling ring with twelve orifices is inserted between the injector head and the calorimeter. The calorimeter is composed of nineteen cooling channels. When a mass flow rate of film cooling is 10.5 % of a main fuel mass flow rate, maximum heat flux at the nozzle throat is decreased by 30% compared to that without film cooling. In the OD3(of-design point) test result, maximum heat flux at the nozzle throat is increased by 31% compared to that of the DP(design point) test when a film cooling flow rate is zero.

초음속 흡입구는 설계점에서 안정적으로 작동하지만 설계점 밖에서는 엔진성능이 급격히 감소하거나 층 격파 불안정 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 초음속 흡입구의 일반적인 특성을 파악하기 위해 2단 꺾임각을 갖는 외부 압축식 2차원 흡입구를 설계하고 EDISON_열유체 시스템을 이용하여 최종적으로 설계 마하수 2.5에서 작동하는 형상을 얻었다. 그러나 설계 마하수 이하의 영역에서는 충격파-경계층, 충격파간 상호작용으로 인해 유동에서 박리가 발생하고 최종적으로 흡입구 목을 질식시켜 아임계 상태로 천이된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 유동 제어 방법 중 하나인 bleeding을 이용하여 경계층을 제거하거나 유동의 박리를 방지하여 충격파를 cowl lip 전방에 안정하게 고정시킬 수 있었으며, 결과적으로 목적하였던 마하수 2.0에서 2.5에 이르는 작동 영역에서 강건하게 운용될 수 있는 초음속 흡입구를 설계하였다.
