다단연소사이클 로켓엔진 개발의 일환으로 산화제 과잉 예연소기의 단독 연소시험이 수행되었다. 산화제 과잉 연소라는 특성상 비교적 투명한 상태의 후류를 볼 수 있었고, 예연소기 연소시험 중 배출되는 화염을 일반 캠코더와 열화상 캠코더를 이용하여 촬영하였으며, 이를 통해 화염의 형태와 온도분포 등을 관찰할 수 있었다. 배기 플룸 구조와 특성을 좀 더 명확히 파악하기 위하여 열유동 수치해석이 함께 수행하였다. 연소는 고려하지 않았으며, 배기가스와 주변공기의 혼합은 화학종 수송 모델을 사용하였고, 서로 다른 난류 모델을 적용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 시험과 해석 결과를 비교함으로서 플룸의 내부구조를 파악하였고, 적용된 해석모델의 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다.

An axially staged combustor equipped with an LPP combustion system and CMC liner walls has been investigated for stable combustion and low NOx emissions for the ESPR project. Several fuel injectors were designed and manufactured for the LPP burner, and single sector combustor tests were conducted to evaluate fundamental combustion characteristics such as emissions, instabilities, auto-ignition, and flash back at typical operating conditions from idle to Mn 2.2 cruise. The latest test results showed that the LPP burner had a good potential for the low NOx target. It was also found that the NOx emission level was greatly affected by a distortion in the air flow velocity field upstream of the LPP burner due to the diffuser and fuel feed arm. The CMC material was investigated to apply for the high temperature and low NOx combustor. Annular combustor liner walls were manufactured with the CMC material, and they have been tested at low pressure conditions to evaluate the soundness of the material and the mounting and seal system. This paper reports the latest research activities on the LPP combustion system and CMC liner walls for the ESPR project.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) has been conducting research and development of the Scramjet engines and their derivative combined cycle engines as hypersonic propulsion system for space access. Its history will be introduced first, and its recent advances, focusing on the engine performance progress, will follow. Finally, future plans for a flight test of scramjet and ground test of combined cycle engine will be introduced. Two types of test facilities for testing those hypersonic engines. namely, the 'Ramjet Engine Test Facility (RJTF)' and the 'High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel (HIEST)' were designed and fabricated during 1988 through 1996. These facilities can test engines under simulated flight Mach numbers up to 8 for the former, whereas beyond 8 for the latter, respectively. Several types of hydrogen-fueled scramjet engines have been designed, fabricated and tested under flight conditions of Mach 4, 6 and 8 in the RJTF since 1996. Initial test results showed that the thrust was insufficient because of occurrence of flow separation caused by combustion in the engines. These difficulty was later eliminated by boundary-layer bleeding and staged fuel injection. Their results were compared with theory to quantify achieved engine performances. The performances with regards to combustion, net thrust are discussed. We have reached the stage where positive net thrust can be attained for all the test coditions. Results of these engine tests will be discussed. We are also intensively attempting the improvement of thrust performance at high speed condition of Mach 8 to 15 in High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel (HIEST). Critical issues for this purposemay be air/fuel mixing enhancement, and temperature control of combustion gas to avoid thermal dissociation. To overcome these issues we developed the Hypermixier engine which applies stream-wise vortices for mixing enhancement, and the M12-engines which optimizes combustor entrance temperature. Moreover, we are going to conduct the flight experiment of the Hypermixer engine by utilizing flight test infrastructure (HyShot) provided by the University of Queensland in fall of 2005 for comparison with the HIEST result. The plan of the flight experiment is also presented.

한가지 유형의 엔진 여러 개를 번들로 묶어서 발사체 제품군을 개발하는 전략은 SpaceX와 그들의 재사용 발사체 Falcon 9과 Falcon Heavy에 의해 입증되었다. 이 연구에서 우리는 35톤급 메탄 다단 연소 사이클 엔진을 이용한 잠재적인 발사체 제품군을 제시하였으며, 다양한 우주 임무에서 그것들의 유용성과 성능을 평가하였다. 예를 들어, Falcon 9의 한국형 버전은 소모성 모드에시 500 km SSO에 약 4.7톤의 탑재체를 투입할 수 있는 반면에, 해상에 착륙하는 모드에서는 약 2.16톤의 탑재량으로 줄어들게 된다. Falcon Heavy의 한국형 버전은 나로우주센터에서 발사되었을 때, 4.4톤을 GTO에 투입할 수 있으며, 이는 이 공통부스터코어 구성이 높은 경사각에도 불구하고 천리안 2호 위성을 투입할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 개발 후, 이 메탄 엔진이 소형위성 발사체에 추력공급 용도로도 사용도 가능하다.
