In order to obtain high thrust at the beginning of the flight, the solid rocket motor with large initial burning surface area was designed and tested. From the static firing test, lower initial thrust was obtained compared with the expected thrust based on the internal ballistic prediction due to the negative erosive burning effect which reduced the burning rate estimated by APN Law. In addition, the radial mode combustion instability was observed with 8 fins grain configuration. This instability was removed after the odd number of fins were used.

There are many researches in progress on co-firing of coal and biomass to reduce carbon dioxide produced from the coal consumption. This study carried out 200 Kg/h combustion test furnace by mixing coal with timber. Coal was mixed with domestic and imported-wood around 10% to 20% based on input energy. For the mixed fuel, combustion temperature, unburned carbon and the composition of flue gas were analyzed. In addition, the tendency of slagging and fouling was examined using a probe. According to the result of the experiment, combustion temperature was depended on the kind of wood and mixing ratio. The unburned carbon loss was higher with increase of wood biomass mixing ratio, as a result, the total heat loss of furnace was slightly increased. The emission of NOx and SOx were decreased by $3{\sim}20%$ and $21{\sim}60%$ respectively. There are no difference of slagging and fouling tendency between biomass co-firing and coal burning only.

The combustion tests for Korean anthracite-bituminous coal blend were carried out in the 200 MW utility boiler. The burning characteristics of the blend were studied with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). From the observation of TGA burning profiles, it was found that the presence of bituminous coal in the blend appeared to enhance the reactivity of anthracite in the higher temperature region, indicating certain interactions between the two coals. The plant test showed the boiler operation was reasonably stable with somewhat poor combustion efficiency, and some modification of the combustion environment in the furnace is necessitate for the further stable plant operation.

Many items, as internal pressure, thrust, temperature, strain, etc. are measured in Ground Firing Test (GFT) of rocket motors. But these items are influenced by various phenomena occurred during propellant combustion. In this study, natural frequencies of motor itself and system(motor+loadcell) on Stand were measured. Also motor responses were measured during burning and analyzed so that the vibration characteristics occurred during GFT and the causes and characteristics of vibration signal appearing on thrust curve were identified.

After launch, in order to inject the geostationary satellite into its operational orbit, the perigee altitude are forced to be raised to geostationary altitude by firing onboard LAE(Liquid Apogee Engine) at apogee of the transfer orbit. In this process, the LAE burn is divided into three or four separated burns in order to control the orbit very precisely by giving feedback the determined orbit informations and to inject the satellite in predefined longitude. This paper proposes an algorithm to determine LAE firing time slots and ${\Delta}V$ vectors under assumption of impulsive LAE burning, and additionally, a method to compensate errors induced by continuous burning. And computer simulations have been performed to validate proposed algorithms.

Effect of calcium sulfate and barium sulfate on the formation of portland cement clinker was studied by means of chemical analysis. DTA and X-ray diffraction analysis. In the presence of liquid phase, effect of the additives on the formation of tricalcium silicate was examined according to the reaction, 2CaO.$SiO_3$＋CaO$\longrightarrow$3CaO.$SiO_3$, which is the principal reaction in portland cement clinkerization, and optimum conditions in firing clinker concerning amount of additive, firing time and temperature were determined, and its kinetics was referred to. The experimental results are summerized as follow: (1) Appropriate burning temperature range of cement clinker is more limited as the content of calcium sulfate in clinker is increased. Amount of calcium sulfate, firing time and temperature in proper condition of clinkerization is related to each others. Being added suitable quantity of calcium sulfate, firing temperature of clinker can be lowered about $100^{\circ}C$. (2) When 3-5 mole% of calcium sulfate is added, firing time of 15-30 minutes at about $1380^{\circ}C$ is reasonable, and if the content is over7 mole %, firing for 1 hr. or more at $1350^{\circ}C$ is anticipated to be optimum condition. (3) In the reaction of tricalcium silicate formation, the role of barium sulfate as a mineralizer is similar to that of calcium sulfate, but the optimum firing temperature of cement clinker containing barium sulfate tends to be 20-$30^{\circ}C$ higher than that of clinker containing calcium sulfate. (4) When barium sulfate is used as mineralizer, 2-3 mole % of it to tricalcium silicate is recommended and if it is added more than this amount, free CaO is increased rapidly in clinker and alite formation is inhibited.

In this study, an influence of mixing ratio among firing oyster shell, non-firing oyster shell, magnetic separated converter steel slag and fly ash used as admixtures on strength properties of soil cement was evaluated by correlation analysis among compressive strength, deformation modulus and mixing ratio of admixtures. As a result, the strength of the specimens containing non-firing oyster shells was found to be larger than that of firing oyster shells, and it was confirmed that firing oyster shells could negatively affect the strength of soil cement specimens unlike previous studies. In addtion, there was a positive correlation between the ratio of magnetic separated converter slag and strength properties, so it is confirmed that it can be used as an admixture.

The burning interruption between the initiator and the delay column in a Zr-Ni K1 delay system used for a K510 fuze occurs with long-time storage. About 10 % failure probability of 15-years stored delay systems shows the failure mode in open literature. This paper shows storage lifetime improvement results for the delay system through changing the single-base delay column into double-base ones and controlling the manufacturing processes especially the initial inclusion of humidity. The double-base delay columns was implemented by inserting one delay column of fast burning rates between the initiator and the previous delay column of slow burning rates. Accelerated aging tests of the delay systems with double-base columns, and then the firing tests were performed to evaluate the improved lifetime. The double-base delay columns shows improved storage lifetime of the delay system through preventing the failure mode.

The appearance of the negative differential pressure(NDP), in which the shot base pressure is higher than the breech pressure, indicates that a potential damage on the gun system is increased. In order to safeguard the gun system, the igniter must be designed to minimize the NDP during the firing process. From this reason, the effect of igniter's burning rate on the NDP of the interior ballistics has been investigated through the numerical simulations. The NDP has been increased with increment of the coefficient in the burning rate of the igniter. A sudden change of the chamber pressure has been shown in case of using a singular coefficient.

Untypical unstable burning with very low frequency was observed at firing test of a gas generator using bundle cylindrical grain. The pressure unbalance between inside and outside of cylindrical grain brought such a low unstable burning. The grains were radially holed so that the high pressure gas inside of grain could quickly moved outward of gain, resulting dissipation of the pressure unbalance However too many holes were required to let the burning be stable for all operation regime from low to high temperature of grain and resultantly deteriorate the Progressive increase of gas amount produced by a gas generator. So another idea using grids located both sides of a bundle grain was applied to dissipate actively large vorticities enhanced by unbalance pressure distribution in a combustor. Finally stable burning with progressively increase of gas was established by application of 5${\times}$5 grid slightly away bundle grain to move bundle gain freely in case pressure unbalance were occurred inside of combustor.
