Design and performance evaluation of $H_2O_2$ monopropellant thrusters to be used at attitude control of space launch vehicles were presented in this paper. Flight model thrusters were designed after two reactors for 100, 250 Newton were conformed at engineering model. Each thruster was evaluated by measurement of characteristic velocity, thrust, specific impulse, and pulse response times.

가스터빈 엔진의 성능모사는 개발단계에서의 개발위험도 감소나 개발비용 절감의 목적뿐만 아니라 운용단계에서 최적의 정비를 위한 엔진의 상태 진단을 위해서도 그 필요성이 매우 크다. 가스터빈 엔진의 성능모사를 위해서는 "각 구성품의 성능은 구성품 성능선도를 따라야 한다"는 제약조건을 만족해야 하며 이를 위해서는 구성품의 특성을 나타내는 성능선도가 매우 중요하다. 구성품 성능선도는 다양한 조건에서의 성능시험을 통해 얻는 것이 당연하나 이는 엔진 개발사에서나 가능하며 대부분 공개를 기피한다. 따라서 일반 구매자나 가스터빈 엔진의 성능을 연구하는 사람들은 일부 공개된 성능도를 축척하여 이용하고 있다.여 이용하고 있다.

In this paper, we describe the contents of the achievement of basic experiments for manufacturing and evaluating a micro-rocket using solid propellant, as the device of the micro thrust generator which can be used for attitude control of satellites. We try to analyze performance of the rocket through visualization of the motor jet, and adopt various ignition methods to obtain confidence in ignition problem. For this purpose, we develop and test two different types of thrust measurement system.

Two types of pressurization system and low weight feeding piping system are developed. With sub-system tests, ullage pressure control performance was verified for 1 step and 2 step pressurization system and the feeding performance of feeding piping system was also verified. The weight of the feeding piping system is low enough for the application of launch vehicle. In addition, LOX conditioning system is developed for avoiding geysering and LOX temperature rise. Integrated performance was verified through integrated on-board feeding system performance tests.

Nozzleless booster is one of the applicable components for integral rocket ramjet (IRR). In order to predict nozzleless solid booster performance, the simplified theoretical analysis was applied for L/D=5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Al-HTPB and Zr-HTPB propellant with a high metal content were used to increase the hardness because of the combustion gas flow effect. It was found that the trends between the simplified theoretical analysis and experiments were similar.

Theoretical model of a variable thrust solid rocket motor with a pintle nozzle was derived. For the chamber pressure control, classical model linearization and proportional-intergral controller was used. And then two types of gain scheduling controller were suggested to imporve controller performance for the non-linear propulsion model. Considering characteristics of systems, control gains were scheduled by chamber pressure or free volume. Step responses of each controllers were compared. As a result, the proper control algorithm about characteristics of variable thrust rocket motor was suggested.

Design and performance evaluation of $H_2O_2$ monopropellant thrusters to be used at reaction control of space launch vehicles were presented in this paper. Design thrust level was determined as 100, 250 Newton which is nominal thrust level for commercial space launch vehicles. Qualification thruster models including solenoid valves were developed after the reactor design were evaluated at engineering thruster models. Each thruster was evaluated by measurement of characteristic velocity, thrust, specific impulse, and pulse response times at sea level test condition.

In this study, a performance model of the Smart UAV propulsion system with ducts, tip jets and variable main nozzle, which has flight capability of the rotary wing mode for the take-off/landing and low speed forward flight as welt as the fixed wing mode for high speed forward flight, has been newly developed. With the proposed model, steady-state performance analysis was performed at various flight modes and conditions, such as rotary wing mode, fixed wing mode, compound wing, mode altitude and flight speed. In investigation of performance analysis, it was noted that the operational capability of the propulsion system was limited due to the duct losses depending on each flight mode, and the limitation with the altitude variation case has much greater than that with the flight speed variation case.

A Propulsion System of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was composed of the turbojet engine to generate the propulsive exhaust gas, and the duct system including main and rotary ducts, the nozzle subsystem including main and tip jet nozzle for three flight modes such as lift/landing mode, low speed transition flight mode and high speed forward flight mode. Transient simulation performance utilized the ICV (Inter-component volume) method and simulated using the SIMULINK. Transient performance analysis was performed on 3 cases. Fuel flow schedules to accelerate from Idle to maximum rotational speed were divided into the step increase of the most severe case and ramp increase cases to avoid the overshoot of turbine inlet temperature, and variations of thrust and the turbine inlet temperature were investigated in some transient analysis cases.
