다양한 에너지원들을 전력발생용으로 활용할 수 있다는 점과 화학추진기로는 얻을 수 없는 높은 분사추진속도를 구현할 수 있다는 점은 전기추진기만의 장점으로 대두된다. 수많은 비화학추진기들이 연구개발중에 있으나 현재로서는 200s에서 5000s까지의 넓은 비추력 범위를 갖는 전기추진기의 연구개발이 가장 많은 진전을 이루고 있다. 따라서 본 논문의 주요내용은 전기추진기에 할애되어 있으며 전력으로 열을 발생시켜 추력을 얻는 전열추력기(electrothermal thruster), 정전기장을 응용한 정전기추력기(electrostatic thruster)와 플라스마 상태의 고온가스를 자기장으로 가속시키는 전자기추력기(electromagnetic thruster)에 대한 작동원리, 특성 및 개발현황들을 소개한다.

Space propulsion system produces required thrust for satellites and space launch vehicles by using chemical reactions of a liquid fuel and a liquid oxidizer typically. Among several liquid propellants, the monomethylhydrazine-dinitrogen tetroxide is expecially preferred for a GEO satellite propellants due to their better storability in liquid phase during a long mission life under a freezing space environment. Recently, a development of the monomethylhydrazine-dinitrogen tetroxide bipropellant system becomes important as the national space program requires the heavier and the more efficient space system. Thus, the objective of the present study is to review a foreign research trend of a chemical reaction between the monomethyhydrazine fuel and the dinitrogen tetroxide oxidizer to understand a fundamental basis of their characteristics to prepare for domestic development in future.

Computational fluid dynamics analysis was carried out for thermo-chemical flow field in Arcjet thruster with mono-propellant Hydrazine ($N_2$H$_4$) as a working fluid. The theoretical formulation is based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flows with thermal radiation. The electric potential field governed by Maxwell equation is loosely coupled with the fluid dynamics equations through the Ohm heating and Lorentz force. Chemical reactions were assumed being infinitely fast due to the high temperature field inside the arcjet thruster. An equilibrium chemistry module for nitrogen-hydrogen mixture and a thermal radiation module for optically thin media were incorporated with the fluid dynamics code. Thermo-physical process inside the arcjet thruster was understood from the flow field results and the performance prediction shows that the thrust force is increased by amount of 3 times with 0.6KW arc heating.

Miro propulsion device is a literally very small propulsion system The reason why such a small propulsion system is required is that micro satellites are considered as substitutions for conventional satellites to reduce cost; the fabrication of micro satellites enables us to produce mass production Microrockets have relatively high values of thrust/weight ratio due to the cube law; weight is proportional to volume and thrust is proportional to area. Accordingly, downsizing makes the ratio of thrust/weight ratio high However, conventionally ignorable facts are not negligible any more in small scale systems. for chemical micro rockets, downsizing causes lots of heat loss as surface to volume ratio increases, which results in the destruction of radical ions. For thrusters using plasma, the generation of strong magnetic field for plasma is very difficult. Also, in the aspect of flow dynamics, the effects of drag and viscosity are important parameters in low Re flows. When these problems are solved, micro propulsion systems can be commercialized and result in spin-off effects in many fields.

Report is devoted to place and role of numerical simulation in design of rocket propulsion systems. In introduction advanced solutions in liquid propellant rocket engines design are presented. Further essence of design process described briefly. The central place of method of solution of direct problem in design process was shown. Numerical simulation for solving direct problem of fluid dynamic was used as the alternative to theoretical and experimental approaches. Main features of numerical models of processes in propulsion systems were observed. Some results of simulation and (or) design of different types of chemical propulsion system were presented also. The combined rocket engine, rocket engine with injection of after-turbine gas into supersonic part of the nozzle, solid propellant engine and hybrid propulsion engine are under consideration.

The Laminar lifted methane jet flames diluted with helium and nitrogen in co-flow air have been investigated experimentally. The chemiluminescence intensities of $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ radicals and the radius of curvature for tri-brachial flame were measured using an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) camera, monochromator and digital video camera. The product of $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ is used as a excellent proxy of heat release rate. These methane jet flames could be lifted in buoyancy and jet dominated regimes despite the Schmidt number less than unity. Lifted flames were stabilized due to buoyancy induced convection in buoyancy-dominated regime. It was confirmed that increased $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ concentration caused an increase of edge flame speed via enhanced chemical reaction in buoyancy dominated regime. In jet momentum dominated regime lifted flames were observed even for nozzle exit velocities much higher than stoichiometric laminar flame speed. An increase in radius of curvature in addition to the increased $OH^{\ast}$ and $CH_2O^{\ast}$ concentration stabilizes such lifted flames.

극초음속 비행체는 속도가 증가할수록 공기와의 마찰열과 엔진열이 증가한다. 이러한 열적부하는 비행체 구조물의 변형을 야기하고 오작동을 유발할 수 있다. 흡열연료는 액체 탄화수소 연료로써 열분해 반응, 촉매분해 반응과 같은 흡열반응을 통해 열을 흡수할 수 있는 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 methylcyclohexane을 모델연료로써 선정하여 흡열특성을 측정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 반응열을 향상시키기 위해 제올라이트를 적용하였고 HZSM-5가 흡열량 향상에 가장 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 흡열량 향상에 미치는 촉매의 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 이 촉매는 케로신연료를 흡열연료로써 사용하는 시스템에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Many monopropellant thrusters use a catalyst for decompose the propellant, hydrazine. The catalyst directly affects the thruster performances and lifetime. Therefore, it is important to confirm that the catalyst is suitable for our thrusters. Until 2002, we used She1l405 catalyst, for satellite RCS thrusters, and H-IIA and M-V launch vehicle upper-stage RCS thrusters. In 2002, however, Shell Chemical Inc. ceased manufacturing She1l405 catalyst and transferred the product to AEROJET, where it was renamed S405. We subsequently investigated the characteristics of AEROJET's S405 catalyst and SOLVAY's KC12GA catalyst, (SOLVAY is a Belgian chemical company, and KC12GA is used for ASTRIUM's thruster) and conducted thruster firing tests using the new catalysts. After conducting, we confirm that the KC12GA catalyst was suitable for our thrusters, and decided to use KC12GA for two satellite programs.
