The ignition of ethanol-oxygen-argon mixture was studied in reflected shock waves over the temperature range of 1281-1625 K and the pressure range of 0.69-1.06 bar. The ignition delay time was measured by the sudden increase of pressure profile and the radiation emitted by OH radicals. The relationship between the ignition delay time and the concentrations of ethanol and oxygen was determined in the form of mass-action expressions with an Arrhenius temperature dependence. In contrast to the behavior observed in methanol, ethanol acts to inhibit rather than accelerate its own ignition. Several kinetic mechanisms proposed for ethanol oxidation at high temperatures have been tested by the computer simulation.

The ignition of methane-oxygen mixtures highly diluted with argon was examined in the temperature range of 1516-1937 K behind a reflected shock wave. The ignition delay times were measured by monitoring pressure profiles and the total emissions at 5.0 cm from the end wall. It was found that the experimental result was correlated by the temperature and the concentrations of the gases. To complement the experiment, computer modeling study of methane oxidation was carried out using a GRI 1.2 mechanism.

The ignition of NH$_3$-NO-Ar mixtures was examined in the temperature renge of 1675-2391 K behind reflected shock waves. The ignition delay times were measured by monitoring pressure profiles and the OH emissions at 1.0 cm from the end wall. A correlation between ignition delay times and concentrations of gases could be summarized in the form of mass-action expression, To complement the experiment, computer modeling study of the ignition of NH$_3$-NO-Ar mixtures was carried out using various mechanisms reported previously. The sensitivity analysis shows the reaction of NH$_2$+NO${\rightarrow}$NNH+OH is the most important step in the ignition of NH$_3$-NO-Ar mixtures.

A pyrogen type igniter was designed to satisfy the requirements of KSLV-I Kick Motor system. To insure the reliability of the igniter before the production of the flight model, we have been performed the structure, environmental, combustion tests. The hydraulic test was carried out to confirm the strength of the components of the igniter. The shock and vibration tests were considered to check whether the igniter operates normally under the severe environmental condition. The combustion tests were also performed to understand the ignition characteristics with the variation of initial condition. Finally, we confirmed that the igniter could provide the acceptable energy to ignite the propellant of kick motor at the ground test.

The heat released during the external frictional motion is a factor responsible for initiating energetic materials under all types of mechanical stimuli including impact, drop, or penetration. We model the friction-induced ignition of HMX, RDX and AP/HTPB propellant using the BAM friction apparatus and one-dimensional time-to-explosion apparatus whose results are used to validate the friction ignition mechanism and the deflagration kinetics of energetic materials, respectively. The ignition times for each energetic sample due to friction are presented.

충격파에 의해 폭말물에 일어나는 화학반응 진행현상을 Forest Fire 모델과 함께 고온 부위에 의한 점화와 표면연소자는 현상학적인 근거위에 개발한 모델 두가지(IAG, Sandia)를 설명하였고 이 위에 고온부위 개념에 물리적인 설명을 부여한 새로운 모델을 소개하였다. 나중 세가지 모 델들을 PBX-9404에 대한 여러 가지 실험결과와 비교하였는 바 화학반응 초기의 압력증가현상은 주로 점화항(고온 부위에 의한)에 기인하는 것으로써 모두 만족할만한 결과를 보여주고 있으며 후기의 현상은 실험치와 약간 달라지는것(크거나 혹은 작거나)이 보인다. 이 오차가 과연 어느 만큼 실험 오차이며, 또 어느만큼이 모델 오차인지에 대하여는 아직 자료의 불충분으로 확정지어 말할 수 없다. 예를 들어 그림 4에서는 실험결과가 이론결과 보다 압력을 더 큰 것으로 나타 내고 있으며 그림 5에서는 그 반대 현상을 보인다 앞으로 이 방면에 더 연구가 진행되어야 하 리라고 고려되며 연후에 이 모델들을 다른 폭발물에 적용시켜 일반화시키는 일이 남아 있다.

A high-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the transient process of the combustion and the shock-train developments in an ethylene-fueled direct-connect dual-mode scramjet combustor. Air-throttling is then applied at the expansion part of the combustor to provide mass addition to block the flow to subsonic speed, hence to enhance the fuel-air mixing and ignition. Present simulation shows the detailed results for the better understanding of transient processes of the operation regimes in the dual-mode scramjet combustor.

The performance of a pyrotechnic device that consists of donor/acceptor pair separated by a bulkhead relies on shock attenuation characteristics of the gap material and shock sensitivity of the donor and acceptor explosives. In this research, a micro Kapton flyer was accelerated by an exploding foil initiator (EFI) to figure out shock sensitivity of hexanitrostilbene (HNS) to impact. The averaged shock pressure and duration imparted to the explosive by flyer impact are measured by using a velocity interferometer for any reflector (VISAR) and impedance matching technique. Consequently, this research shows the possibility to determine the critical flyer velocity for initiating the miniaturized pyrotechnic unit by determining the relations between the impact velocity, the amplitude and width of impact loading.
