The pintle injector has many advantages in the key characteristics of a liquid rocket engine, such as combustion stability, combustion efficiency, and wide range of comprehensive thrust control, design and manufacture, and test fired under supercritical conditions. The pintle injector is manufactured with a rectangular, single-row orifice for thrust control and production considerations. In order to verify the combustion performance of the pintle injector and its potential as a commercial injector, the combustion characteristics were analyzed by varying the TMR (Total Momentum Ratio) and BF (Blockage Factor). The result of the hot firing test showed that the heat flux increased as TMR increased, and it confirmed that the characteristic velocity efficiency was more affected by BF than TMR. Suppose a single-row pintle injector with efficiency characteristics insensitive to changes in TMR can achieve high efficiency at low fuel differential pressure conditions. In that case, the variable pintle injector's design flexibility can be increase.

본 연구에서는 대형 로켓엔진시스템의 시동 시 안정적인 유량공급을 위한 제어기 설계가 이루어졌다. 펌프, 오리피스, 제어밸브, 파이프, 인젝터 및 재생 냉각채널과 같은 엔진시스템 구성품들에 대한 동특성 모델링을 수행하였고 유량공급 제어가 가능한 밸브의 구동신호를 조절 가능한 PID 제어기를 설계하였다. 시동 시 안정적인 유량공급을 위하여 실험을 통해 얻은 밸브의 적정 개도율을 적용시켰으며, 이를 기준으로 하여 제어밸브의 작동신호를 조절하여 유량비를 제어하였다. 시뮬레이션 한 결과 제어기를 통해 시동 시 정상추력까지 유량공급을 제어 하는 방법이 적절함을 확인하였다.

A propeller as a propulsion system has been redesigned to improve performance of a target drone. The vortex theory has been applied for the propeller design method. Design variables have been the chord length along the direction of blade radius, the change of blade radius, and the geometric angle of the blade. The existing propeller has been redesigned and modified considering engine RPM change to get the improved thrust at both low and high speeds.

IT기기, 통신시기, 반도체 기기 등은 점점 더 고성능화되면서 속도도 빨라지고 기능도 추가되는 추세이다. 이러한 IT기기들은 속도와 더불어 열문제는 더욱더 크게 강조되고 있는 실정이며 개인용으로 많이 사용하고 있는 PC의 경우 더 이상 속도를 높이지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 열문제는 100W까지는 Heat pipe 등으로 냉각이 가능하였으나 거의 한계수준에 도달한 상황이다. 이러한 상황에서 일부 메니아들은 빠른 속도의 통신이나 작업을 위해서 수냉식 전용 냉각기를 설치하여 현재의 기능보다 더 좋은 환경에서 사용하고자 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수냉식 냉각기보다 더 큰 열용량을 가진 CPU의 냉각을 위해서 냉매 압축기를 적용하고자 하였으며 냉매 압축기에 사용하기 위한 선형압축기를 개발하고자 하였다. 즉 선형압축기에 의해서 압축된 냉매를 사용하여 CPU를 냉각하기 위해서 본 연구를 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 선형전동기를 공진구동형 스프링을 장착하여 50-100Hz로 공진구동하는 액추에이터를 제작하여 그 특성을 알아보았다. 먼저 제자과정과 제작후 추력과 공진구동 설계 및 공진구동시 전기적, 기계적 특성변화를 확인하였으며 피스톤과 실린더 및 흡입밸브와 배기밸브 등을 장착하여 선형압축기로서 시운전까지 수행하였다.

Storage air heater(SAH) is a general purpose facility that is used to simulate the high altitude condition of supersonic ground test facility, thurst compensation test of rocket engine nozzle and gas turbine engine combustor test. SAH in KARI is built to simulate the total temperature of the supersonic ground test facility which has a wide flight envelope from altitude 0km, Mach 2 to altitude 25km, Mach 5 and operates up to 1300K, 3.5MPa. In this paper, we introduces the SAH in JAXA which is model of SAH in KARI and summarizes the design process and manufacture of ours.

For the successful development of 75-tonf-class liquid rocket engine, a plenty of tests on each engine component have to be performed and this is equally true for a combustor. However the test facility which is in operation at Korea Aerospace Research Institute lacks its capacity to perform fire tests of a 75 tonf class combustor at its nominal thrust. Since the test facility has to be ready prior to the start of development tests, it is very urgent to establish the test facility. The preliminary design of a test facility for a 75 tonf class combustor which was performed according to such a necessity is described in the paper.

우주항공 산업에 대한 관심 증가에 따라 지상에서 많은 연소시험을 시행하고 있으나, 소음 발생문제에 부딪혀 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 초보적 단계이기는 하나, 액체로켓 엔진의 추력 손실을 최소화시키고 최대한 제트 소음을 크게 줄일 수 있는 소음기를 연구, 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제트소음에 대한 기초연구를 수행하여 물분사형 소음기를 설계 및 제작하였고, 물분사량과 소음기의 기하학적형상이 소음 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 본 실험범위에서 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 동일한 물 분사량 조건에서, 소음기 길이가 노즐출구 직경의 10배 모델 보다 30배 모델이 9dbl 정도 감음효과를 보였다. 2. 불 분사량이 증가함에 따라 소음레벨은 감소하였고, 30배 모델의 경우 불분사량이 배기가스의 10-12배 조건에서는 소음레벨을 91dbl까지 줄일 수 있었다. 3. 상기조건(소음레벨 91dbl)에 확장관을 부착함으로써, 소음레벨을 약 86dbl까지 줄일 수 있었다. 4. 본 형태의 물분사방식을 채택할 경우 고온배기가스로 인한 소음기의 파손을 방지하기 위해서 반드시 막냉각장치의 설치가 요구된다.

Structural design of the injector head part of a 7ton class thrust chamber was preformed. Structural stability of an injector head part is a very important factor for a thrust chamber of a liquid rocket engine because it is loaded by high pressure of liquid oxidizer and fuel in addition to thrust load. Structural design requirements were first defined to design the injector head part of the 7ton class thrust chamber and the basic configuration was designed on the basis of the design requirements. A high strength steel that has been locally developed was applied to the injector head part of the thrust chamber. A total of twelve design configurations have been analyzed to select structurally the most stable design configuration.

Blending method was applied to increase the performance of hydrogen peroxide which is called green propellant. 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide was blended with ethanol which is less toxic fuel, and there was no storability decrease due to fuel addition. Inconel X750 and Tophet A showed good compatibility and high heat resistance, and SUS 316L was compatible. $Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$, and $ZrO_2$, were coated on the material to improve heat resistance, and it was proved from endurance test that $Y_2O_3$ coating is not suitable and adhesive strength between coating and material is related with allowable temperature of material. Thruster test was performed to confirm the performance increase by blending method, and chamber temperature was $870^{\circ}C$ which is higher than $760^{\circ}C$ that is adiabatic chamber temperature of 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide.
