In order to obtain high thrust at the beginning of the flight, the solid rocket motor with large initial burning surface area was designed and tested. From the static firing test, lower initial thrust was obtained compared with the expected thrust based on the internal ballistic prediction due to the negative erosive burning effect which reduced the burning rate estimated by APN Law. In addition, the radial mode combustion instability was observed with 8 fins grain configuration. This instability was removed after the odd number of fins were used.

The basic design concept of the DACS(Divert and Attitude Control System) propellant is presented and the geometry optimization of the DACS propellant with limited outer diameter and maximum burning rate of the propellant is performed. Two-side burning surface conditions burned at the core and the one side of the propellant are applied to the propellant. And the optimized values for the radius of core, length of propellant, angle of end-side surface are obtained by the PSO algorithm. The direction for DACS propellant design is suggested by analyzing optimized design points for various burning rate.

This experimental study deals with the extinguishiment characteristics of an oil pool flame using the water spray. The water through the six different atomizers is ejected over the freely burning pool flame in the quiescent surrounding air. Injection direction is vertical to the surface of oil in a small tank with a diameter of 100mm and a height of 10mm. In order to estimate quantitatively the extinction, the burning rate as well as the effective water flux are measured. The effective water flux is the amount of the water which reach the pool from the nozzle. The burning rate with the water spray increases until the injection pressure increases to reach some value, which gives the maximum burning rate, while the effective water flux without the flame decreases or does not change according to increasing of the injection pressure. This maximum burning rate is greater than 2.5 times of burning rate of the fire without the water spray. As a matter of the extinguishiment, it is found that the water drops of which size is too small can not extinguish the fire because too small drops does not reach the fuel surface.

Laminar burning velocities have been predicted by constant volume combustion chamber, counter flow burner and others. In this study, the measured flame propagation velocities in an assembled annular stepwise diverging tube were plotted with respect to equivalence ratio, length scale, and velocity scale. Three dimensional approach to understand the flame propagation velocity including laminar burning velocity is investigated, and the surface provides the correlation among quenching distance, propagation velocity, and equivalence ratio.

In the solid rocket propellant combustion, the dynamic phase change from solid to liquid to vapor occurs across the melt layer. During the surface burning, liquid and gas phases are mixed in the intermediate zone between the propellant and the flame to form micro scale bubbles. The known thickness of the melt layer is approximately 1 micron at $10^5$ Pa. In this paper, we present a model of the melt layer structure and the dynamic motion of the melt front derived from the classical phase field theory. The model results show that the melt layer grows and propagates uniformly according to exp(-1/$T_s$) with $T_s$ being the propellant surface temperature.

The following conclusions were obtained with measuring the surface temperature change of woodceramics which were made of MDF to identify usability of using them as a sub-material for heating system when installing Ondol heating floor. For this purpose, woodceramics were burned at the temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$ 1. Surface temperature of woodceramics increased with the increase of density of woodceramics, but no significant difference was detected at the surface temperature when burning temperature was changed. 2. Surface temperature change under given temperature increased as time passed and it showed more increase in temperature at the burning temperature of 80$0^{\circ}C$. 3. Surface temperature change with the change in floor temperature increased u hen floor temperature increased and heating mechanism was fast with increase of measuring temperature.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account of the erosive burning with the variance of local velocity and pressure along the grain surface of a solid rocket combustor. To validate the model of concern in the study, both cases of non-erosive and erosive burning were compared with the previous researches with marginal accuracy. It was quantitatively investigated that the combustion pressure, grain length, initial temperature, and vaporization temperature of propellant affect the erosive burning characteristics.

An analytical expression for the turbulent burning velocity is derived from the asymptotic zone conditional transport equation at the leading edge. It is given as a sum of laminar and turbulent contributions, the latter of which is given as a product of turbulent diffusivity in unburned gas and inverse scale of wrinkling at the leading edge. It was previously shown that the inverse scale is equal to four times the maximum flame surface density in the wrinkled flamelet regime [1]. The linear behavior between $U_T$ and u' shows deviation with the inverse scale decreasing due to the effect of a finite flamelet thickness at higher turbulent intensities. DNS results show that $U_T/S^0_{Lu}$ may be given as a function of two dimensionless parameters, $u'/S^0_{Lu}$ and $l_t/\delta_F$, which may be transformed into another relationship in terms of $u'/S^0_{Lu}$, and Ka. A larger $l_t/{\delta}_F$ or a smaller Ka leads to a smaller scale of wrinkling, hence a larger turbulent burning velocity in the limited range of $u'/S^0_{Lu}$. Good agreement is achieved between the analytical expression and the turbulent burning velocities from DNS in both wrinkled and thickened-wrinkled flame regimes.

Syngas laminar burning velocity measurements were carried out at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature using the Bunsen flame configuration with nozzle burner as a fundamental study on flame stability of syngas fuel. Representative syngas mixture compositions ($H_2$:CO) such as 25:75%, 50:50% and 75:25% and equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 1.4 have been conducted. Average laminar burning velocities have been determined by the stabilized nozzle burner flames using the angle method, radical surface area method and compared with the data obtained from the other literatures. And the results of each experimental methodologies in the various composition ratios and equivalence ratios were coincided with the result of numerical simulation. Especially, it was confirmed that there was necessary to choice a more accurate measurement methodology even the same static flame method for the various composition ratios of syngas fuel including hydrogen. Also, it was reconfirmed that the laminar burning velocities gradually increased with the increasing of hydrogen content in a fuel mixture.

Zone conditional formulations for the Reynolds average reaction progress variable are used to derive an asymptotic expression for turbulent burning velocity. New DNS runs are performed for validation in a statistically one dimensional steady state configuration. Parametric study is performed with respect to turbulent intensity, integral length scale, density ratio and laminar flame speed. Results show good agreement between DNS results and the asymptotic expression in terms of measured maximum flame surface density and estimated turbulent diffusivity in unburned gas.
