Traditional propellants which have a hypergolic characteristic have a high performance but also have disadvantages of toxicity and complex handling requirement. In order to replace these propellants, one of the alternatives is hydrogen peroxide which generates high temperature oxygen and water vapor after catalytic reaction. In this paper, autoignition characteristics of kerosene by decomposed hydrogen peroxide were investigated to perform fundamental research for designing a thruster using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene propellants. Contraction ratio, whether flame holder exists or not, and feeding pressure of propellants were selected as variables. From the experiments for different mixture ratio, we confirmed the ignition stability is strongly affected by a feeding pressure of propellants.

선형전동기(linear motor)는 일반 회전형 모터에 비해 직선 구동력을 직접 발생시키는 특유의 장점이 있으므로 직선 구동력이 필요한 시스템에서 회전형에 비해 절대적으로 우세하다. 선형전동기의 성능인 추력을 스테이터, 코어, 영구자석 등의 구성요소의 형상과 치수, 코어와 영구자석의 극간격, 공극, 코일의 권수에 따라서 결정된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2kW급 단상 구동형 횡자속 선형전동기는 압축기 제작에 필요한 직경 50mm, 구동 스트로크 18mm로 설계하였다. 또한 pole pitch가 20mm로 설계하였으며 요구되는 평균추력은 940N이다. 제작된 압축기의 특징은 고정자와 이동자가 맞닿는 flux path를 넓히기 위해서 최대한 경사진 각도의 형상으로 제작하였으며 경사의 각도가 커지면 커질수록 압축기로 구동하는 이동자와 고정된 부위사이에서 발생하는 흡인력이 상쇄되는 구조이기 때문에 진동의 원인으로 가장 크게 작용한다는 디텐트력이 작다는 것이 특징이며, 진동특성 등에 유리한 것으로 판단된다.

A conceptual design of propulsion system for a geosynchronous communication satellite with 12 years design life is presented in this paper. Propellant mass budget for the design life is calculated using total velocity increment (ΔV) flowed-down from mission requirement analysis. Sizes of the fuel and oxidizer tank are derived based on the calculated propellant mass budget, and mass of the pressurant as well as the size and pressure of pressurant tank are calculated too. Thruster positioning, number of rocket engines, and position of tank are determined through Trade-Off Study with Structure & Mechanical Subsystem. Propulsion system configuration and its schematics are presented finally.

Effects of the nozzle wall angles on the supersonic flow field in a thrust optimized nozzle were numerically investigated. The combustor and operating condition of 30-tonf rocket engine was selected to study the optimum nozzle shape. The nozzle flow of combustion products was realized by the shifting equilibrium calculation for the propellant of kerosene-LOx. The change of nozzle wall angles induced different developing patterns of the internal and secondary shock wave. The optimum nozzle was obtained when the internal shock was in a specific position at the nozzle outlet. The nozzle wall angles of the optimum nozzle were very similar to those of the optimum nozzle which does not consider the shock wave.

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.

로켓 엔진용 짐벌 마운트는 발사체 발사 후 자세 제어를 위해 발사체와 엔진사이에 장착된 TVC(Thrust Vector Control) 구동기의 작동으로 짐벌 운동을 수행하며 기구학적으로 자세 제어를 하는데 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 요소이다. 이러한 짐벌 마운트는 엔진 추력을 발사체에 전달하는 기능 이외에 지정된 위치에 엔진을 고정시키는 역할과 위치 고정 후 발사체 단과 엔진의 정확한 추력 전달을 위한 기계적 불일치 보정 기능, 짐벌 구동에 대한 피봇 기능을 동시에 수행하여야 하는 복합적인 기능을 가지고 있다. 특히, 이중에서도 물리적으로 고 추력의 하중을 전달하는 요소로서 충분한 강도와 강성을 지녀야 하므로 본 연구에서는 이와 관련된 초기 설계 요구도 분석을 바탕으로 설계 규격에 부합하는 짐벌 마운트의 구조적 검토를 통해 로켓 엔진용 짐벌 마운트 설계 형상을 개념적으로 제시하였다.

액체추진제 로켓엔진에서 분사기의 미립화 및 혼합 특성과 그에 따른 연소 특성은 성능과 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 파라미터이며 분사기는 제한된 설계 조건하에서 최대의 열방출율을 발휘하도록 설계되어야 한다. 여기서 연소효율은 연료와 산화제의 혼합특성과 충돌 분무의 미립화의 정도에 의해 결정되므로 충돌 분무 유동성의 혼합, 미립화 특성과 이에 따른 인조성능 특성을 명확하게 밝힘으로써 최대 엔진성능을 위한 설계가 가능하게 된다. 분사기의 설계에는 분사요소형태, 분사공의 형상 및 유동시스템 등이 포함되며 특히 분사요소 형태의 선택에는 추진제, 연소실냉각방법, 연소실 형상, 자동조건 및 엔진의 수명 등이 중요한 제한조건으로 고려된다. 이런 형태의 분사 요소들 중, 충돌형 분사기는 저장성 추진제를 사용하는 중, 저추력의 액체추진제 로켓엔진에 주로 사용된다. 이 분사형태는 미립화 성능이 높지 않고, 분사공 직경 및 운동량비에 따른 혼합성능이 만감하며 blow apart 등에 의한 열부하 혹은 안정성에 대한 문제가 있으나 양호한 혼합효율, 신뢰성과 제작의 용이함으로 인하여 광범위하게 사용된다.

The SNU MAV has been designed through studies on highly efficient aerodynamic shape and propulsion system. The configuration of the vehicle was determined from conventional empirical equations, iterative wind tunnel tests and flight tests. The propeller shape was optimized with the various thrust tests and RSM(Response Surface Method) to obtain the higher efficient propulsion system. It was certified that the MAV could fly for over 17 minutes with a 210mAh battery. In addition, it showed good flight characteristics in both stability and controllability.

This study aims to provide basic design data for a pintle injector and its combustion device through case study on the research and development of combustion devices to which a liquid-liquid pintle injector was applied. From data analysis, it was possible to provide the initial dimension of the combustion chamber and pintle injector based on the engine thrust, and the geometric characteristics of the high-efficiency injector. In addition, the pintle tip heat damage prevention mechanism and materials, face-shutoff pintle injector implementation method, and central propellant selection criteria were summarized. Theses results will be used as basic data for the design criteria of an initial pintle injector combustion device.
