A study to reduce the ignition peak pressure of gas generator for the missile launching system was accomplished. The igniter, as the energy release device for igniting the propellant, is aimed at simultaneous ignition of bundled 3-layered propellant grain without unstable burning. In case of our gas generator which must use the double-base propellant with low ignition property, the fast ignition of propellant and reduction of initial peak pressure should be required for the satisfaction of ejection velocity and acceleration condition. By applying MTV ignition charge for the igniter of gas generator, we accomplished all system performance requirements.

이동통신은 공간을 매개체로 하여 전파를 통해 통화로가 형성되는 통신방식을 취함에 따라 공간상에 존재하는 수 많은 물질에 의한 페이딩 및 무수한 전파로부터 간섭을 받을 가능성을 항상 내재하고 있다. FM을 이용한 아날로그 이동통신의 경우 비의도성 전파의 간섭은 통화시에 클릭음과 같은 불쾨한 음을 동반하지만, 디지틀 시스템의 전파간섭은 전파의 페이딩 현상과 함께 결합되어 BURST BIT ERROR의 발생 등 보다 심각한 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 본 고에서 자동차의 점화잡음이 이동통신 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위한 선행단계로서 점화잡음 자체에 대한 특성 분석을 실시하였다. 본 고에서 실시한 잡음 파라미터들에 대한 분석을 종합해보면 자동차의 점화잡음 특성은 고주파보다 저주파에 집중되어 분포하고 있으며 자동차의 수가 증가할수록 완만하게 증가하는 특성을 보이고 있다. 또한 잡음 파라미터들의 곡선의 모양은 주파수에 독립적이며 자동차의 수에 의존하는 특성을 보이고 있으며 진폭특성은 주파수와 자동차 수에 의존하는 함수임을 알 수 있다.

Seven different size of orifice were applied in a constant volume combustion chamber for evaluating the effects of torch-ignition on combustion. The initial flame development and flame propagation were analyzed by the mass fraction burn and combustion enhancement rate. The combustion pressures were measured to calculate the mass fraction burn and the combustion enhancement rates. In addition, the flame propagations were visualized by the shadowgraph method for the qualitative comparison. The result showed that the combustion pressure and mass burned fraction were increased when using the torch-ignition device. The combustion enhancement rates of torch-ignition cases were improved in comparison with conventional spark ignition. Finally, the visualization results showed that the torch-ignition induced faster burn than conventional spark ignition due to the earlier transition to turbulent flame and larger flame surface, during the initial stage.

Several propellants were investigated experimentally for ignition characteristics in subatmospheric pressure. The threshold ignition pressure was 4 psia for HTPB/AP composite propellant. The partial replacement of AP in HTPB/AP propellant by $5{\sim}l5%$ of HMX, HNIW showed that the improvements in ignition delay was over 50% and the threshold pressure was below 0.4 psia. This appears to be due to the characteristics of HMX and HNIW exothermic dissociated at the temperature(${\sim}220^{\circ}C$) love. than that of AP. The ignition substance $B/KNO_3$ was coated thinly on the propellant surface for better ignition performance. As a result, ignition delay time of 15% was improved. NC is applied to $B/KNO_3$ ignition substance as a secondary binder and $NC-B/KNO_3$ suspension solution is coated to the propellant surface.

Micro igniter on the glass membrane for MEMS thruster was developed. The stability of the micro igniter by using a glass membrane with a thickness of tens of microns was improved. The micro igniter was fabricated by anisotropic wet etching of photosensitive glass and deposition of Pt/Ti for electric heat coil. The solid propellant was loaded into the propellant chamber without an especial technique due to the high structural stability of the glass membrane. Ignition tests were performed successfully. The minimum ignition delay was 27.5 ms with an ignition energy of 19.3 mJ.

In order to evaluate the effects of aging on the ignition performance, pyrotechnic igniters were separated from twelve-year-old, fifteen-year-old, and sixteen-year-old live rocket motors. The characteristic values of the ignition material were measured, and the firing tests of the igniters were performed. The moisture content, the outer dimension, the crush strength, the thermal decomposition characteristics, and the heat of formation the B/$KNO_3$ ignition pellet were measured. The crush strength was increased and the heat of formation was reduced as aged, but no change was detected for other characteristic values. The burning test results of the igniter pellet in the closed bomb and the inert motor showed that the burning rate of the ignition pellet was increased by 10%, and the integration of pressure $P_t$ of the p-t curve was reduced by 15% for aged samples. It was inferred that the burning rate was increased as the crack was appeared in the pellet and $P_t$ could be proportionally decreased with the heat of explosion.

고체추진제의 첨가제 또는 연료로써 주로 사용되는 알루미늄 단일 입자 연소시험 장비를 제작하고 연소 실험을 수행하였다. 산화 알루미늄으로 피복된 금속입자는 약 30~100 ${\mu}m$의 크기를 사용하였다. 단일 입자는 Electrodynamic Balance (EDB) 방법에 의해 공중 부양된 상태로, 중력에 의한 영향이 배제되어 금속입자 고정용 또는 측정용 장치들의 접촉에 의한 열손실을 제거시켜 실험 정확도를 높였다. Standard Hyperbolic Electrodynamic Levitator (SHEL) 내에서 부양된 입자에 $CO_2$ 레이저를 사용하여 점화시킨 후, 입자로부터 방사되는 열복사를 이용한 two wavelength pyrometry를 적용하여 알루미늄 입자 크기에 따른 연소시간, 평균 화염온도, 점화온도, 점화시간을 획득하였으며, 단일 알루미늄 입자의 점화-연소특성을 평가하였다.

The ignition characteristics of liquid rocket engine thrust chambers which have been developed by domestic technology were analyzed. Analysis results showed that low frequency fluctuation appeared in a partial ignition range according to different temperature profiles and vaporous state in the oxidizer manifold with startup sequences. This low frequency fluctuation wasn't developed as a malfunction factor, but this fluctuation is thought to be taken a continuous concern considering interfaces with engine system and launch vehicle.

본 연구에서는 최근 차량용 대체연료로서 주목받고 있는 천연가스의 연소특성을 규명하기 위해 밀폐된 정적연소실을 이용, 당량비, 초기압력 및 점화위치 변화에 따른 연소실험을 행하였으며, 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 메탄-공기 예혼합기의 화염전파과정은 이론혼합기 부근에서 구면형으로 진행되는데 반해, 과농 또는 과박 혼합기 그리고 점화위치가 연소실 벽면에 가까울수록 타원형으로 진행되며, 초기압력이 증가함에 따라 화염전파는 느려진다. 화염전파속도와 연소 속도는 초기압력이 낮고 점화위치가 연소실 중심에 가까울수록 빠르며, 당량비 1.0∼1.1 사이에서 최대치를 보인다.
