A series of ignition tests had been conducted for a thrust chamber propelled by Jet A-1 and liquid oxygen with a chamber pressure of 52.5 bara and a thrust of 30 tonf. The chamber ignited by a hypergolic fluid, TEAL, keeps its first constant pressure low at $63\%$ of the design value by $61\%$ of a liquid oxygen mass flow rate and $67\%$ of fuel for 0.25 sec. The operating O/F ratio of the chamber was kept at lower values than that of the design operating condition throughout the whole ignition procedure. Surge of the chamber pressure is below $6\%$ of the design value.

램제트 추진기관은 압축과정을 별도의 부품 없이 형상에 의해서 감속하여 연소 압력비를 얻는다. 따라서 구동 마하수와 형상에 의해 흡입과정의 압축 효율이 결정된다. 설계점은 충분한 유량을 확보 할 수 있는 유량과 충격파 각을 조절하여 전압력 손실을 줄이도록 고려되어야 한다. 또한 연소가 일어나면 연소실 압력이 배압으로 작용하고 비행시에 받음각은 변하므로 이에 따른 성능 분석도 고려 되어야 할 사항이다. 본 연구는 국내에서 실험한 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하여 코드의 검증과 아울러 램제트 유동장의 수치적 시뮬레이션도 설계단계에서 하나의 도구로 이용할 수 있음을 보여준다. 실험에서는 배압 조건을 얻기 위해 유동 블록키지를 유로 내에 두어 상응하는 배압을 얻었지만 본 계산에서는 압력 경계조건을 직접 사용하였다. 유동이 비정상 특성을 가지므로 시간 정확도를 이차로 가지도록 이중시간 전진법을 사용하였다. 사용한 압력비는 충격파가 카울 끝에 닿는 임계상태에 가까운 12, 13, 14에 대해 계산을 수행하였고 부스터모드로 흡입구 끝이 막혀 있다가 램제트 모드로 바뀌어 연소실 압력이 위의 압력비라고 가정할 때의 비정상 천이 과정을 계산해 보았다. 본 계산은 흡입구 부분만을 떼어놓고 적절한 가정 하에 수행되었지만 연소실 내부도 비정상 특성을 가지므로 흡입구와 연소실을 동시에 같이 계산해야한다. 추후에 전체적인 계산을 진행하기 위한 전 단계로 흡입구 계산만을 수행하여 실험과 잘 일치하는 계산 결과를 얻었고 전체 계산을 위한 연구는 진행 중에 있다.

압축가스를 이용하여 추진제를 액체 로켓 엔진에 공급하는 경우, 공급압력은 정상 연소상태의 연소압을 기준으로 하여 설계한다. 그러나 연소초기의 연소실 압력은 대기압 상태이므로 과도한 유량이 공급되어 이로 인해 hard-start 가 발생하며, 최악의 경우 엔진의 파손을 가져온다.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account of the erosive burning for a solid rocket motor. The variance of local velocity and pressure along grain surface are analyzed by using the continuity and momentum equation. The model introduced in this study showed good agreements with the results of previous internal ballistics program. It was investigated that the change of combustion pressure, gas velocity and regrestion rate along the grain axis.

An ambient hot-firing test was carried out for the hydrazine thruster which may be employed in the space launch vehicles. The thruster is designed to produce 67 N (15 $lb_f$) of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 2.41 MPa (350 psia). A scrutiny into the performance characteristics of thruster is made in terms of thrust, propellant supply pressure, mass flow rate, chamber pressure, and temperature at the steady-state firing mode. As a result, it is ensured that the practical performance efficiencies are above 89.1% compared to its ideal requirements.

An investigation into the influence of ultrasonic standing wave on the structural behavior of propane/air premixed flame has been made to get a clue to the combustion reaction acceleration and combustion instability, as well. Visualization technique utilizing the Schlieren method was employed for the observation of structural variation of the premixed flame. The flame shape and propagation velocity were measured according to the variation of equivalence ratio. It was found that the standing wave distorted the flame front and expedited a transition to the flame with turbulent nature.

In liquid-fuel spray combustion, an experimental study was conducted to observe the effect of ultrasonic excitation on the ultrasonically-atomized liquid fuel flame by controlling pressure field through an ultrasonic standing wave. Flame of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene aerosol was visualized by using a high speed camera, DSLR, and Schlieren photography. The amount of fuel consumed was obtained by a precise flow-rate measurement technique during combustion, through which the ratio of carrier gas (air) to fuel mass was able to be obtained, too. As a result, it could be found that the combustion reaction-rate of the liquid-fuel aerosol was increased by applying an ultrasonic standing wave to the secondary flame zone of the flame.

The study on the heat exchanger with catalytic combustion was performed as the development of the catalytic combustion applications. This study tried to achieve the both goals-the mixture preheating and the heat transfer to working fluid simultaneously by using the steady state catalytic combustion. The combustion characteristics were investigated with the quantitative, qualitative experimental variants of the mixture. In addition, the temperature distribution of catalytic layer was investigated to investigate the correlation between the combustion characteristics and the heat balance of the catalytic layer. As a result, the steady state reaction within the appropriate range of temperature is the critical factor in catalytic applications. To get this, the sensible control of both the mixture flow and the heat balance of catalytic layer were required.

This study has been conducted to scrutinize agitation effects of an ultrasonic standing wave on the dynamic behavior of methane/air premixed flame. The propagating flame was caught by high-speed Schlieren images, through which local flame velocities of the moving front were analyzed in unprecedent detail. It is revealed that the propagation velocity agitated by the ultrasonic standing wave is greater than that without agitation at the stoichiometric ratio: the velocity enhancement diminishes as the equivalence ratio approaches upper flammability limit or lower flammability limit. Also, vertical locations of the wave-affected frontal distortions do not vary appreciably, unless the propagating-mode characteristics (pressure amplitude and driving frequency) of ultrasonic standing wave were not changed.
