In currently developed engine condition monitoring systems, most field engine maintenance engineers have difficulties to use them in fields due to complexity, unpractical use, lack of understanding, etc. Therefore a practical usable engine condition monitoring system must be needed. This work proposes a practical performance condition monitoring of a small turbojet engine through comparing between the on-line performance monitoring data and the initial clean performance data calculated by the base engine performance model. Moreover the proposed monitoring system checks the gas path components' on-line health condition through comparing the component performance characteristics between the running engine represented as a deteriorated engine or a degraded engine and the base engine performance model represented as a clean engine. The proposed condition monitoring system is coded in a friendly GUI type program for easy practical application by a commercial tool, MATLAB/SIMULINK and LabVIEW.

스크램 제트 엔진의 설계에서 초음속으로 유입된 공기의 짧은 잔류시간으로 인한 연료-공기의 혼합은 가장 중요하며 해결하기 힘든 문제이다. 전헝적인 비행 조건에서 흡입 공기가 극초음속 비행기 엔진 내에서 잔류하는 시간의 단위는 1 ms 정도이어서 짧은 시간 동안 연료와 공기는 효율적으로 혼합되어야 하며, 최대의 추진력을 얻기 위하여 과도한 공력저항없이 연소 가능한 연료-공기 혼합기를 생성시킬 수 있는 효율적인 연료-공기의 혼합 방법이 요구된다. 현재까지 가장 많이 연구되어 온 혼합 방법은 엔진 입구로 들어오는 공기 유동에 수직 방향으로 연료를 분사하는 것으로 이 방법은 연료 유동 방향과 공기 유동 방향이 수직이기 때문에 추력 손실이 생기는 단점을 갖고 있지만, 초음속으로 유입되는 공기에 수직으로 연료를 분사하게되면 분사 위치 앞에 궁형 충격파가 생겨서 감속되어 유동이 회전하는 재순환영역이 생기고 연료의 혼합이 잘 이루어지는 장점이 있다.

In the present work, performance analysis of fuel feed and transfer system for Smart UAV was conducted. For the fuel feed system, it was verified that minimum and maximum pressure requirements at the fuel inlet of engine were satisfied. For the fuel transfer system, design variables of jet pump were derived and performance was verified for the maximum acceleration flight condition by using ESDU design guide and flowmaster code.

다목적으로 활용할 수 있는 터보축 엔진의 개발을 위한 정상상태 및 동적모사 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발비, 개발시간, 개발위험도의 절감을 위해 가스발생기 부분은 성능이 잘 알려진 기존의 터보제트 엔진을 활용하였으며 약 3000hr 이상의 수명을 확보하기 위해 터빈재질을 교체하고, Larson-Miller 곡선을 이용하여 최대회전속도와 최대 터빈 입구온도를 각각 35000 RPM과 1140 K의 결정하였다 추가되는 동력터빈의 구성품 성능선도는 압축기 터빈 성능선도를 축척하여 사용하였다. 정상상태 성능해석에는 유량 및 일평형 방정식을 이용하였으며, 동력터빈이 각각 73%, 80%, 90%, 100% RPM일 때 가스발생기를 75%(24500 RPM)에서 100%(35000 RPM)까지 5% 간격으로 나누어 계산을 수행하였다.

항공기의 제트 엔진을 비롯하여 육상용 발전기, 선박용 엔진, 로켓 엔진 등에 널리 사용되는 터빈 블레이드를 포함한 고온용 가스터빈 부품은 최대 온도 120$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에 노출되어 가혹한 기계적 응력을 받는 동시에 고온에서의 표면 안정성이 요구되므로 초내열 니켈 합금(superalloy), 티타늄 합금, 내열강 등의 고온강도가 우수한 합금이 사용된다. 그런데 합금성분이 많이 첨가된 내열 합금을 용접하는 경우, 미세균열, 용접부의 기계적 성질의 저하, 용접열영향부의 내식성과 내산화성의 저하, 용접외부 결함에 의한 피로강도 저하 등의 문제가 발생하므로 이를 해결해야 한다. 본고에서는 생산성과 용접품질이 우수한 고밀도 에너지빔 용접의 적용 현황에 관하여 고찰코자 한다.

A numerical method based on the prediction of total pressure loss of major components of the engine has been developed for prediction of the windmilling start performance of micro-turbojet engine. The start performance in on/off design region has been analysed by applying this method to predict windmilling start-able regions of the centrifugal-type engine. The results of this analysis have been validated by comparing with the test data. The effect of each design parameters on windmilling start performance has been analysed for the enlargement of start-able regions.

Weight reduction of the VTHL / TSTO type of the reusable launch vehicles using RBCC engines are investigated. To predict weight and thrust of the vehicles, equations of motion are analyzed. Analysis results are compared with specifications of existing launch vehicles for validations. For the mission of inserting 2.5 ton payload to 200 km circular orbit, the case A, which uses the RBCC engine in the 1st stage shows smaller weight than the case B, which uses the RBCC engine in the 2nd stage. The weight of the case A shows only 25.8% of a existing rocket launch vehicle's weight.

Measurement uncertainty assessment was performed for altitude performance test for a turboshaft engine. Mathematical models of measurement were suggested for major performance parameters such as shaft horse power, fuel flow, specific fuel consumption, and airflow. The procedure was compared with the test of turbojet or turbofan engines. Uncertainty involved with the test condition measurement was assessed. Influence of the test condition measurement uncertainty on the corrected performance data was discussed. Uncertainty assessment result was provided for a example test case using a real altitude test facility. For major performance parameters, measurement uncertainties were assessed as 0.65~1.09% including the test condition measurement uncertainty, 0.36~0.94% not including it.

Infrared (IR) stealth technology to protect aircraft from heat-tracking missiles is a very important factor in the development of military aircraft. In this study, the intensities of signal generation were compared by observing the IR signals generated from the plumes of the engine and identifying them for each measurement angle. To simulate a jet engine applied to an actual aircraft, a small turbojet engine was constructed, the infrared signal characteristics for each wavelength were identified according to the measurement angle, and the total infrared radiance was derived by integrating the signal for each wavelength. Through this study, we intend to present basic data for improving the infrared stealth performance of aircraft.
