In this study, a high-pressure subsacle thrust chamber was developed to verify the core technology for KSLV-II performance enhancement. The core technologies are the design of an injector for high-pressure combustion, development of a combustion stabilization device using the additive manufacturing technique, and the design and fabrication of mixing head and regeneratively cooled combustion chamber. The core technologies, which have been verified through the development of high-pressure subscale thrust chamber, will be used to develop large engine liquid rocket engine thrust chamber in the future.

To control and improve a combustion behavior of an engine, various studies for the in-cylinder pressure have been consistently carried out. In this paper, the level of the combustion noise for a diesel engine is estimated from the in-cylinder pressure and defined as the combustion noise index. The combustion noise index is calculated from the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) of the in-cylinder pressure and its validity is verified. The control system based on the combustion noise index is developed and implemented in a vehicle. A number of injection parameters are controlled to meet the desired combustion noise index, and the combustion noise of a vehicle is improved up to 4.0 dB(A) in the specified frequency band.

Studies to investigate the influence on hydraulic acoustic wave were conducted using pressure swirl atomizer under making frequency range from 0 to 60Hz using water as a propellant. Pressure oscillation from hydraulic sources gives a strong influences on atomization and mixing processes. The ability to drive these low frequency pressure oscillations makes spray characteristics changeable. The effect of pressure perturbation and its spray characteristics showed that low injector pressure with pressure pulsation gives more significantly than high injector pressure with pressure perturbation in SMD, spray cone angle, breakup length. Moreover, this data could be used for prediction of low combustion instability getting G factor.

Variable valve timing is one of the attractive ways to control homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. Hot internal residual gas which can be controlled by variable valve timing(VVT) device, makes fuel evaporated easily, and ignition timing advanced. Regular gasoline was used as main fuel and di-methyl ether(DME) was used as ignition promoter in this research. HCCI engine operating range is limited by high combustion peak pressure and engine noise. High combustion pressure can damage the engine during operation. To avoid engine damage, the rich limits have to define using various methods. Peak combustion pressure, rate of cylinder pressure rise was considered to determine rich limit of engine operating range. Knock probability was correlated with the rate of cylinder pressure rise as well as the peak combustion pressure.

This paper presents pressure fluctuation characteristics of a 30 ton-f class liquid rocket engine combustor. Combustion stability of the combustor was evaluated using the results 46 firing tests performed with a varying O/F ratio and chamber pressure. The RMS value of pressure fluctuation during the steady state combustion was less than 2.6% of the static chamber pressure, demonstrating static stability of the combustion phenomenon. The decay time of pressure fluctuation caused by forced disturbance of a pulse gun was found to be less than 3.5 msec verifying dynamic stability of the combustor.

Combustion characteristics of domestic anthracite coal were observed by high-pressure thermogravimetric analyzer with variation of pressure (1~16 atm) and heating rate (15, 20, $25^{\circ}C$/min) with non-iso-thermal method (temperature range : 25~100$0^{\circ}C$). Measured combustion reaction rate increased with increasing pressure. This result could be explained by the fact that the activation energy of coal combustion decreased with increasing pressure. Reaction order of coal combustion determined by Freeman and Carroll$^{[11]}$ method linearly increased from 1.04 to 1.30 and activation energy decreased from 47.37 to 14.42 Kcal/mol as pressure increased from 1 to 16 attn.

Under the background of combustion instability in solid rocket motor, to study the relationship between pressure oscillations and dynamic process of propellant flames, it is necessary to simulate an oscillation environment with certain frequency, amplitude and duration. This paper presents an experimental installation of pressure oscillation based on pulse-driving technique, with which pressure oscillations features under different pulse-driving conditions were compared and analyzed. For the pulse-driver applied in this paper, a pressure oscillation with 0.15s-0.5s duration, 179Hz-210Hz first order frequency, 0.04MPa-0.35MPa amplitude is simulated. The test results show that an oscillation with higher frequency and lager amplitude can be obtained when pulse-driver is installed on the top of the installation cavity, while on the side, an oscillation with a longer duration and approximate cavity natural frequency can be simulated.

Cylinder pressure level is defined the value of sound pressure level derived from relations of pressure and frequency which are obtained Fourier series expansion of cylinder pressure. CPL is alone in general use in combustion analysis without regarding attenuation coefficient determined by engine structure because it is almost constant in various kinds of engines. Combustion pressure fluctuation and influence of CPL was investigated in this paper using Wiebe combustion function superposition th obtain the effect of premixed and diffusive combustion. The results are as follow. (1) Influence of combustion maximum pressure(P$\sub$max/) on CPL is correspond with total energy per cycle well. (2) P$\sub$max/, .DELTA.P$\sub$max/, (dp/d.theta.)$\sub$max/ and (d$\^$2/p/d.theta.$\^$2/)$\sub$max/ are very effective on CPL in the range of low frequency, mid-low frequency, mid-high frequency and high frequency respectively.

In a premixed flame stabilized by a streamlined step, the flame structure and combustion characteristics were investigated to identify the effect of the pressure pulsation in a combustion air. A flame stabilizing limits, visualization, mean temperature, ion current and gas concentration (O$_{2}$, CO$_{2}$, CO, UHC) were measured. With the combustion air of higher pressure pulsation, the development of the mixing layer was fast and wide, the temperature and combustion intensity were higher at arbitrary section. But, the effect was notably decreased with X=150 mm downstream. And a first eddy formation from step edge was earlier. Thus, with the combustion air of higher pressure pulsation, high rate of heat generation was expected.

The unbalance of the power output, noise, and vibration is happened by the disproportionate pressure variation in the cylinder. For this reason, decrease of the pressure in the cylinder and increase of the residual gas effect on the engine performance. If the abnormal combustion is continued, the crack would be occurred in the engine block. And it could be broken down. For the normal combustion of the SI engine, it is important to supply the balanced mixture by each operating condition. In this study, it was tested the combustion characteristics in the cylinder according to the abnormal adjusting of intake & exhaust valve. This test is willing to set a basic data's analysis fur developing an automotive diagnosis system by analyzing the pressure in the cylinder, the output signal of MAP sensor, the exhaust gas, etc.
