Test and launch facilities which use oxygen as the propellant of a launch vehicle have hazards of fire and explosion by the leakage of oxygen. Also, the personnel operating the facilities, which use the high-pressured gases like nitrogen and helium in the closed room, is exposed to the hazard of death from suffocation. Consequently, we should keep out of the hazards and the accidents by monitoring the contents of oxygen in the air. The method and the system construction for monitoring oxygen contents in the air and the results from its application to Naro space center are described on this paper.

This paper describes the results of preliminary design of rocket engine test facility for the performance evaluation of liquid rocket engine. Design specification and composition of rocket engine test facility are suggested based on the design requirements. The results of the preliminary design of rocket engine test facility will be used as base data for the detail design and construction of rocket engine ground test facility of KSLV-II 75tonf liquid rocket engine.

Transient Analysis on heat transfer of rocket engine combustion chamber and wall temperature variation was carried out, especially, calculations of LOx/kerosene rocket engine with/without fuel film-cooling were conducted. Convective and radiative heat flux inside combustion chamber wall were calculated by the empirical equations for rocket engine combustion, and conduction of wall interior was calculated by numerical method with 2D axisymmetric grid. In this calculations the transient variations of wall temperature, the location changes of peak temperature and so on affected by film-cooling were analyzed.

It is critical to set up the starting sequence of liquid rocket engines because not carefully arranged process can lead the engine damages. Thus, many efforts were made to prevent the hard start at the ignition. Hypergolic fuels are frequently used to ignite LRE and TEAL, one of the hypergolic fuel is also used for kerosene-LOx LRE ignition. However, since we are still lack of experiences igniting oxygen rich preburners of the staged combustion cycle engines, it would be helpful to estimate the TEAL ignition phenomena before the actual tests.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of film cooling in the thrust chamber of liquid rocket using LOx and Kerosene as propellant. The heat fluxes were obtained from the measured wall temperature to the axial direction of thrust chamber for different type of coolant, the various O/F ratio, mass flow rate and the location of the film cooling injector. A thin wall combustion chamber and nozzle were used to obtain the heat flux.

로켓엔진의 연소에 필요한 추진제를 안정적으로 공급하기 위한 추진제 공급시스템의 주요 구성과 설계 주요 인자를 정리하였다 공급시스템은 추진제 주입/배출 장치, 추진제탱크 가압 및 배기 장치, 추진제 공급 주/분기 배관, 극저온 산화제 온도 유지 장치 등으로 구성되어 있다. 주요 설계 제한 조건으로는 터보 펌프 입구에서의 추진제 압력 및 온도, 필요 추진제 공급 유량 및 온도 그리고 추진제 충진 및 비상 배출 허용 시간 등이며 이는 각 로켓의 해당 임무에 따라 적절히 결정된다. 발사체로부터 할당된 중량값 이내에서 고신뢰도의 작동성, 안정성이 보장되는 시스템을 설계하여야 하며 초기 설계 단계에서 개발 및 수급 가능성을 동시에 고려하여야 할 것이다. 또한 고추력 생성을 위해 엔진 클러스터링이 수행되어야 할 경우 각 엔진으로의 균등한 추진제 배분 공급이 설계의 중요한 요구 조건이 된다. 이러한 공급시스템의 개념은 액체산소와 케로신 조합의 액체 로켓인 100kg급 소형 위성 발사체(KSLV-Ⅰ)에 적용될 예정이다.

Liquid rocket engine system is classified into an engine of pressurization and turbo pump type by the way of fuel fed-supporting system. In the KSR-III sounding rocket, an engine of pressurization type was used, but there was lots of technical problems to be solved for a use as the first stage engine of space launch vehicle. So, an engine of turbo pump type was required to be developed to overcome the technical limitation of liquid rocket engine. In this research, the analysis of propellant of Kerosine-LOX and methane-LOX which are noticed as a future propellant was carried out for the purpose of studying the basic characteristics. And to review the basic characteristics of an engine of turbo pump type, among the sizing variant of the space launch vehicle, the ways of injecting a satellite to a direct orbit and transient orbit were discussed in this paper.

A quasi one-dimensional multi-phase reaction flow analysis code is developed for the performance analysis of liquid pintle thrusters. Unsteady flow field, droplet evaporation, finite reaction and film cooling models are composed as the major models of the performance analysis. The droplet vaporization takes account of Abramzon's vaporization model, and the combustion employs a flamelet model based on detail chemical reactions. Shine's model is applied for the film cooling calculation. To verify each model, the Sod shock tube, single droplet vaporization, kerosene droplets combustion, and film length are evaluated.

The objective of the present study is to analyze the transient flow through theejector system with the help of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. An attempt is made to investigate the interesting and conflicting phenomenon of the infinite entrainment into the primary stream without an infinite mass supply from the secondary chamber. The results obtained show that the one and only condition in which an infinite mass entrainment can be possible in such types of ejectors is the generation of a re-circulation zone near the primary nozzle exit. The flow in the secondary chamber attains a state of dynamic equilibrium of pressures at the onset of the recirculation zone. A steady flow in the ejector system is valid only after this point.
