본 연구에서는 액체 로켓용 추진제 분사기로 많이 활용되는 충돌형 분사기중에서 2중 충돌(F-O-O-F)형 분사기에 대한 미립화 특성을 파악하였다. 액적의 크기를 측정하기 위하여 위상/도플러 입자분석기를 사용하였으며, 모의 추진제로 물을 사용하였다. 모의 추진제의 운동량비와 압력 강하량 변화에 따른 2중 충돌(F-O-O-F)형 분사기의 미립화 특성과 크기분포에 대하여 고찰하였다. 분사기 면으로부터 100mm 떨어진 단면에서 산화제/연료의 운동량비가 MR=1.19에서 MR=6.48까지 증가함에 따라 액적크기(SMD)는 감소하였으며, 액적크기(SMD)가 운동량비(MR)에 대하여 SMD= 193.480+15.687MR-5.036M$R^2$+0.415MR$^3$와 같은 관계식에 근사되었다 또한, 연료와 산화제의 압력강하량이 증가할수록 액적크기(SMD)가 감소하였다. 충돌 분무유동장의 액적크기 분포는 Rosin-Rammler 분포함수와 Upper-limit분포함수 모두에 대하여 잘 일치하고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 액체 로켓용 충돌형 분사기의 초기 설계단계에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Spray and Mixing characteristics of the unlike impinging triplet injectors (F-O-F, O-F-O) were investigated with the variation of the momentum ratio of oxidizer to fuel. The spray pattern was measured using a backlit stroboscopic photography technique, and mixing efficiency was measured using a mechanical patternator. Kerosene/water were used as a propellant simulant. From the experimental results, it is found that a O-F-O type injector has a good atomization. And as the momentum ratio increases, the mixing efficiency decreases rapidly.

액체로켓엔진은 인젝터, 추력실, 노즐 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 이들 구성요소 중에서 연소성능과 연소안정성에 가장 지배적인 요소는 인젝터이다. 본 연구에서는 액체로켓엔진에 사용될 인젝터의 F-O-O-F 충돌형 Uni-element 인젝터를 설계하였으며 특히, F-O-O-F 충돌형 인젝터는 두 단계의 충돌과정으로 구성되는데, 첫단계 충돌은 산화제와 연료 오리피스의 분무로 충돌이 이루어져 Liquid Sheet가 형성되며 다음 단계로는 이러한 양쪽의 Liquid Sheet가 서로 충돌하여 미립화가 진행되는 두단계 충돌과정으로 이루어지게 된다. 그러므로 인젝터의 가공 정밀도가 매우 높아야 하며 인젝터 오리피스 크기나 각도 등의 어느 하나라도 정밀도가 낮게 가공된다면 연소성능과 연소안정성에 심각한 영향을 주게 된다.

An injector for fuel rich gas generator was designed and experimentally investigated. Five variations of F-O-F triplet impinging type injector were tested to evaluate spray characteristics with kerosene/water simulant propellant. Test was focused to find the effect of design variables of impinging angle, and impinging distance, on the atomization performance. A mixing efficiency is used to compare droplet distribution and local O/F ratio of each injector in the range of momentum ratio of 0.2~1.3. Test results shows the max value of mixing efficiency locates about the 0.8 in momentum ratio. And the injector with an impinging angle of 45 degree and impinging distance of 6mm shows the very good performance result suitable for fuel rich gas generator. A combustion test will be also conducted with selected injector to verify the spray pattern and mixing efficiency.

This paper presents twin spray characteristics of two impinging F-O-O-F type injectors in which fuel and oxidizer impinge on each other to atomize under the various conditions. The droplet size and velocity in the impinging spray flow field were measured using a PDPA. The droplet size and velocity were investigated at mixture ratios of 1.5, 2.0, 2.47 and 3.0 for four injectors in which two single F-O-O-F injectors were arranged at intervals of 20.8, 31.2, 41.6 and 62.4mm respectively. In general, the arithmetic mean diameter, SMD and standard deviation of droplet size in the interaction area (X=0 and Y=0mm) were smaller. The axial velocity in the interaction area was slightly higher. Considering the behavior of impinged droplets using the We number calculated by using the axial velocity instead of the relative velocity in line C in Fig. 1(b) for four injectors, it is consumed that the We number over 500 had the possibility to disintegrate, and the We number below 500 had it to cohere after impingement of twin spray. The results of this study can be used for the design of a nozzle for liquid propellant rockets.

Spray characteristics were investigated by impinging F-O-O-F type injector with varying the impingement angle through 15, 20 and 30 degree and the mixture ratio(O/F ratio) from 1.5 to 3.0. Experimental results show that the correlation between dispersion and impingement angle is not influenced of the mixture ratio variation, but which has influence on number density, and there is a linear correlation between dispersion and impingement angle. Velocity distribution, standard deviation and SMD of droplets are decreased as the impingement angle increases. Also, it was confirmed that the distribution of droplet size are in accordance with Rosin-Rammler and Upper-limit distribution.

Mixing efficiency of the unlike Impinging split triplet injector(FOOF type) were measured to investigate the effect of the momentum ratio variation. $H_2$O/kerosene were used as a propellant simulant. The maximum mixing efficiency occured at the momentum ratio 1.5 (total mixture ratio 1.89). Calculated mixing efficiency of real propellant LOX/Kerosene showed similar trend but maximum efficiency of characteristic velocity occurs at the momentum ratio 2.0(total mixture ratio 2.17). Although there exist a little discrepancy between calculated mixing efficiency based on simulant cold test and hot fire test results, this calculated mixing efficiency can be used to predict hot fire mixing efficiency.

Combustion-stability rating of impinging-jet injector is conducted numerically using hot-fire simulation in a subscale chamber with the five-element injector head. A sample F(fuel)-O(dxidizer)-O-F impinging-jet injector is adopted. In this work, instantaneous chemical reaction is adopted for hot-fire simulation based on the assumption that mixing process of fuel and oxidizer streams is controlling. The model chamber was designed based on the methodologies proposed in the previous work regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions. The present stability boundaries are in a good agreement with air-injection and hot-fire experimental data. The proposed numerical method can be applied cost-effectively to stability rating of jet injectors when mixing of fuel and oxidizer jets is the dominant process in instability triggering.

The results of the combustion performance tests of gas generator which supplies hot gas into the turbine of turbo-pump for liquid rocket engine and uses LOx and kerosene as propellant are described. The gas generator consists of a injector head with F-O-F impinging injector, a water cooled combustion chamber, a gas torch igniter, a turbulence ring and an instrument ring. The effect of turbulence ring and combustion chamber length on performance of gas generator are investigated. The ignition and combustion at design point are stable and the pressure and gas temperature at gas generator exit meets the target. The turbulence ring installed at middle of chamber effectively mixes hot gas with cold gas and the effect of residence time of hot gas in gas generator on combustion efficiency is small. Test results show that the main parameter controlling the gas temperature at gas generator exit is overall O/F ratio.

This paper describes the results of combustion performance test of fuel-rich gas generator(GG) using LOx and kerosene as propellant at off-design conditions. The chamber pressure is thought to be a function of O/F ratio and total propellant mass flow rate. The test shows that the spatial temperature deviation at the exit of gas generator remains within 7.5K and that the average gas temperature at the exit is a function of propellant O/F ratio. The results of firing test of gas generator at off-design conditions, especially the relation between gas temperature and O/F ratio, can provide useful data for the design of future gas generator and for the development of low-O/F ratio reaction analysis code.
