This article deals with the introduction of longitudinal instability of liquid rocket (pogo) and the analytical results on the frequency responses of KSR-III propulsion feeding system. Both the stiffness of bellows and the cavitation volume of venturi affect the frequency response of the feeding system. Especially, bellows has a great roll to reduce the natural frequency of the feeding system. Also, oxidizer and fuel feeding systems of the KSR-III have natural frequencies of ${\~}280Hz\;and\;{\~}90Hz$, respectively.

In this study, a facility was constructed to supply liquid nitrogen to simulate combustion instability in a liquid rocket combustor. The pressurization and supply performances were predicted and verified through different experiments. The liquid nitrogen supply system was composed of a pressurized supply system, and a dome regulator was used to adjust the pressure of the pressurant. A cavitation venturi was used to control the mass flow rate of liquid nitrogen. The condition of liquid nitrogen supply was a mass flow rate of 2.55 kg/s and the venturi inlet pressure was above 100 bar. Based on the initial experiment, it was observed that the predicted amount of the pressurant was not sufficiently supplied and the target pressure was not supplied due to a drop in tank pressure. Through the modification of the established facilities, the target mass flow rate was successfully supplied and the cryogenic liquid nitrogen supply facility was verified.
