With the advancement of industry, the use of various sustainable energy sources and solutions to problems affecting the environment are being actively requested. From this point of view, it is intended to directly burn unused biogas to use it as energy and to solve environmental problems such as greenhouse gases. In this study, a new type of cavity matrix combustor capable of low-emission complete combustion without complex facilities such as separation or purification of biogas produced in small and medium-sized facilities was proposed, and CFD numerical calculation was performed to understand the performance characteristics of this combustor. The cavity matrix combustor consists of a burner with a rectangular porous microwave receptor at the center inside a 3D cavity that maintains a rectangular parallelepiped shape composed of a porous plate that can store heat in the combustor chamber. As a result of numerical calculation, the biogas supplied to the inlet of the combustor is converted to CO and H₂, which are intermediate products, on the surface of the 3D matrix porous burner. And then the optimal combustion process was achieved through complete combustion into CO₂ and H₂O due to increased combustibility by receiving heat energy from the microwave heating receptor.

우주 발사체의 발사 실패 원인 중 가장 대표적인 것이 연소불안정 현상이다. 연소불안정은 연소실 내부의 압력 섭동과 열방출 섭동의 상호작용으로 인하여 연소실 내부의 압력 섭동이 크게 증폭되는 현상을 말하며, 이러한 현상이 심해지게 되면, 엔진의 폭발 또는 비행체의 추락 등이 일어나게 된다. 이러한 연소불안정 현상을 예측하고 회피하기 위해서는 현상의 이해가 반드시 필요하며, 이를 위해 국내외적으로 연소불안정에 대해 수치적, 이론적, 실험적인 접근을 통한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다.

The combustion characteristics have been investigated to develop the low $NO_{x}$ gas turbine combustor. The lean premixed combustion technology was applied to reduce the $NO_{x}$ emission. Also, the conventional combustor was designed and tested for the baseline of low $NO_{x}$ combustor performance. The test was conducted at the condition of high temperature and ambient pressure. The combustion air which has the temperature of 500K were supplied to the combustor through the air preheater. The temperature and emissions of $NO_{x}$ and CO were measured at the exit of combustor. The premixing chamber can be operated very lean condition of equivalence ratio around 0.35. The $NO_{x}$ was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ration. The CO was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ratio, but the CO was increased with decreasing the equivalence ratio below 0.45. But, at the very lean condition of equivalence ratio below 0.35 both NOx and CO were increased because of the flame unstability. The $NO_{x}$ was decreased slightly and CO was increased with increasing inlet air flowrate. This results can be used to determine the size of combustor. The low $NO_{x}$ combustor has lower values of $NO_{x}$ and CO compared with conventional one. Consequently the performance of combustor shows the possibility of the application to the gas turbine system.

This study realizes the conceptual method to predict combustion instability in actual full-scale combustion chamber of rocket engines by experimental tests with model (sub-scale) chamber. The model chamber was designed based on the methodologies proposed in the previous work regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions, and hot-fire test procedures were followed to obtain stability boundaries. From the experimental tests, two instability regions are presented by the parameters of combustion-chamber pressure and mixture (oxidizer/fuel) ratio, which are customary for combustor designers. It is found that instability characteristics in the chamber with the adopted jet injectors can be explained by the correlation between the characteristic burning or mixing time and the characteristic acoustic time: In each instability region, dynamic behaviors of flames are investigated to verify the hydrodynamically-derived characteristic lengths of the jet injectors. Large-amplitude pressure oscillation observed in upper instability region is found to be generated by lifted-off flames.

The facility improvement for hot firing test of combustion chamber having thrust of 30-tonf class and chamber pressure of 60bara were performed at ReTF in KARI. The KSR-III main engine having combustion pressure of 13bara and thrust of 12.5tonf had been successfully tested in this facility. To increase the capability of the facility, the feeding and the trust measurement system have been modified. The modification of the feeding system plays also a role of ensuring the stability of propellant supply and two step ignition sequence of combustion chamber. The one-axis thrust measurement system of up to 60tons has been newly manufactured and installed in test stand and the water/kerosene supply lines with high pressure vessel of $4m^3$ and gas nitrogen vessel of $10m^3$ have been designed for regenerative cooling system. The results of cold flow test show that this facility has been successfully improved to satisfy the requirement for hot firing test of high performance combustor.

액체 로켓엔진 연소기에 적용되는 분사기 형상에 따른 연소특성 변화를 알아보기 위해 연소시험을 수행하였다. 사용된 분사기는 동축와류형으로서 챔버 와류실의 유무와 노즐 길이에 의한 특성변화에 초점을 맞추었다. 챔버 와류실의 유무에 따라 닫힘형과 열림형으로 구분이 된다. 노즐 길이에 따른 변화는 산화제와 연료가 분사되는 노즐을 증가시킨 분사기를 통해 이루어졌다. 연소기는 분사기가 한 개만 장착된 단일분사기 헤드, 내열재 형식의 연소실, 냉각 유로를 가진 동 재질의 노즐로 구성되어 있으며 연소실과 노즐의 외부는 스테인레스 스틸로 이루어졌다.

An experimental study was carried out to obtain the fundamental data about the effect of sub-chamber on pre-mixture combustion. A eve (constant volume combustor) divided into a sub-chamber and a main chamber was used in this experiment. The volume of the sub-chamber was varid trom $0.45\%$ to $1.4\%$ about the whole combustion chamber. The sub-chamber has twelve narrow radial passage holes and a spark plug to ignite the pre-mixture. As the ignition occurs in the sub-chamber by a spark discharge, burned and unburned gas including a great number of radicals is injected into the main chamber, then the multi-point ignition occurs in the main chamber. The combustion pressure is measured to calculate the burning velocity mainly as a function of the sub-chamber volume, the diameter of the passage holes, and the equivalence ratio. In the case of RI (radical ignition) methods, the overall burning time became very short and the maximum burning pressure was slightly increased as compared with that of SI (spark ignition) method. The optimum design value of the sub-chamber is near 0.11 $cm^{-l}$ in the ratio of total area of holes to the sub-chamber volume.

This study presents the methodological aspects of combustion instability modeling and provides the numerical results of the model (sub-scale) combustion chamber, regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions, which are for determining the combustion stability boundaries using the model chamber. An approach to determine the stability limits and acoustic characteristics of injectors is described intensively. Procedures for extrapolation of the model operating parameters to the actual conditions are presented, which allow the hot-fire test data to be presented by parameters of the combustion chamber pressure and mixture (oxidizer/fuel) ratio, which are customary for designers. Tests with the model chamber, based on the suggested scaling method, are far more cost-effective than with the actual (full-scale) chamber and useful for injector screening at the initial stage of the combustor development in a viewpoint of combustion instabilities.

A model combustor has been designed and fabricated for studying the combustion characteristics of oxygen (O₂)/hydrogen (H₂) flames under supercritical conditions. The combustor is designed to allow combustion experiments up to 60 bar, the supercritical pressure condition of O₂ and H₂. Injectors can be replaced to study various types of flames and the combustion chamber is designed to visualize flames by installing optical windows. Through the preliminary tests, including a high-pressure (up to 60 bar) test using air and combustion tests for coaxial jet flames of liquid oxygen (LO₂)/gaseous hydrogen (GH₂) at elevated pressure, the reliability of the combustor has been demonstrated.
