본 연구에서는 이중램제트 엔진 및 로켓/터빈 기반 복합사이클 엔진에의 활용을 위해 Mach 3에서부터 Mach 8까지 넓은 마하수 영역에서 적용이 가능한 초음속흡입구의 형상설계를 수행하고 그 설계방법론에 대해 고찰하였다. 축대칭 가변흡입구를 기본 개념으로 중심콘 각도 및 경사충격파 각도를 이용한 기하학적 관계식으로부터 흡입구 형상을 설계하였으며, 100%에 준하는 포획면적비를 갖도록 하였다. 또한 전산해석결과로부터 Mach 3~8까지 조건에서 흡입구 중심콘에서 발생한 충격파가 올바르게 배치되는 것을 확인하였다.

Endothermic fuels are known as a probable fuel for hypersonic atmospheric flight vehicles and advanced propulsion systems, as well as cryogenic fuels. Especially, from the standpoint of the advanced regenerative cooling use, they are quite useful as a coolant fuel because of their large heat sink due to their chemical decompositions; so-called endothermic cooling effect. However, no heat transfer equations have been proposed taking into account such endothermic reactive behaviors concretely. This paper describes an analytical method for evaluation of the heat transfer rates between endothermic reacting coolant fuel and coolant-side wall in the regenerative cooling passages. Heat transfer mechanism is indicated based on a classical transport-phenomenological approach. A new relational expression of Nusselt number ratio for forcedconvective heat transfer with such endothermic reactions is also proposed by theoretical approaches using some classical hypotheses. Its applicability is assessed provisionally by comparison with confirmed results of heated tube tests for supercritical JP-7 fuel carried out at NASA Lewis Research Center, using its heat sink characteristics evaluated by United Technologies Research Center(UTRC). As a result, it has been suggested that the proposed relational equation is applicable to the evaluation of enhancement of Nusselt numbers due to such reactions in developed turbulent flows such as in the regenerative cooling passages.

DARPA가 계획 중인 대형 극초음속 추진 기관 개발 프로그램 VULCAN 프로그램은 듀얼모드 램제트/스크램제트 엔진과 연계되어 TBCC엔진을 이룰 수 있도록, 기존의 터보제트(또는 터보팬) 엔진과 CVC과 엔진을 결합하여 마하수 4이상에서 작동 가능한 엔진을 개발하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. CVC 엔진은 데토네이션 연소 현상을 기본으로 하여 고마하수에서 고효율을 얻을 수 있는 PDE 이나 CDE와 같은 신개념의 엔진이다. 본 논문에서는 부산대학교 항공우주공학과 연소 추진 연구실에서 지난 수년간 국제공동 연구의 형태로 수행한 데토네이션 현상의 추진기관 응용에 연구에 대하여 소개한다.

본 연구에서는 항공유가 극초음속 비행체용 능동냉각시스템의 냉원으로 사용되면서 흡열분해된 후의 연소특성을 확인하는 연구의 일환으로, 흡열분해 모사연료에 대한 층류화염 전파속도를 측정하였다. 흡열분해 모사연료 2종(SF-1, 2)을 제조하고 분젠버너 시험장치를 제작하여 층류화염속도를 측정한 결과 기준연료(RF)와 비교해 보면 전체적으로 높은 당량비에서 화염전파속도가 빠르게 나타나고 있으며, 특히 SF-1이 SF-2 및 RF보다 훨씬 높은 당량비에서 최대 속도를 가짐을 확인하였다.

Y2O3-MgO nanocomposites are promising materials for hypersonic infrared windows and domes due to their excellent midIR transmittance and mechanical properties. In this work, influence of SPS heating rate on the microstructure, IR transmittance, and mechanical properties of Y2O3-MgO nanocomposites was investigated. It was found that the average grain size decreases with a decreasing heating rate, which can be attributed to high defect concentration by rapid heating and deformation during densification. Also, the residual porosity decreases with a decreasing heating rate, which is ascribed to the enhancement of grain boundary diffusion by a large grain-boundary area (a small grain size). Consequently, high transmittance and hardness were attained by the low heating rate. On the other hand, the mechanical strength showed little difference with the heating rate change, which is somewhat different from the general knowledge on ceramics and will be discussed in this letter.

The increasing interest in the exploration of Mars stimulated the authors to study aerodynamic problems linked to space vehicles. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the aerodynamic effects of a flapped wing in collaborating with parachutes and retro-rockets to reduce velocity and with thrusters to control the spacecraft attitude. 3-D computations on a preliminary configuration of a blunt-cylinder, provided with flapped fins, quantified the beneficial influence of the fins. The present paper is focused on Aerodynamics of a wing section (NACA-0010) provided with a trailing edge flap. The influence of the flap deflection was evaluated by the increments of aerodynamic force and leading edge pitching moment coefficients with respect to the coefficients in clean configuration. The study was carried out by means of two Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes (DS2V/3V solving 2-D/3-D flow fields, respectively). A DSMC code is indispensable to simulate complex flow fields on a wing generated by Shock Wave-Shock Wave Interaction (SWSWI) due to the flap deflection. The flap angle has to be a compromise between the aerodynamic effectiveness and the increases of aerodynamic load and heat flux on the wing section lower surface.

This study presents a prediction methodology of transport properties using the methane-based TRAPP (m-TRAPP) method in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both subcritical and supercritical regions, in order to obtain thermo-physical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The viscosity and thermal conductivity are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid, gas, and the supercitical regions of representative hydrocarbon fuels. The predicted values are compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. It was demonstrated that the m-TRAPP method can give reasonable predictions of both viscosity and thermal conductivity in the wide range of temperature and pressure conditions studied in this paper. However, there still exists large discrepancy between the current data and established values by NIST, especially for the liquid phase. Compared to the thermal conductivity predictions, the calculated viscosities are in better agreement with the NIST database. In order to consider a wide range of conditions, it is suggested to select an appropriate method through further comparison with another improved prediction methodologies of transport properties.

This study presents a numerical simulation investigating hydrodynamic characteristics of high-temperature hydrocarbon aviation fuel injected through a plain orifice injector. The analysis encompassed the temperature range up to the critical point, and the obtained results were compared with prior experimental observations. The analysis unveiled that the injector's exit pressure remains equivalent to the ambient pressure when the fuel injection temperature is below the boiling point. However, when the fuel temperature surpasses the boiling point, the exit pressure of the injector transitions to the saturated vapor pressure corresponding to the fuel injection temperature. Consequently, the exit pressure of the injector increases in tandem with the rapid increase of the saturation vapor pressure due to escalating fuel temperatures. This rise in the exit pressure necessitates a proportional increase in fuel injection pressure to ensure a fixed fuel mass flow rate. Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the discharge coefficient obtained by applying the exit pressure instead of the ambient pressure did exhibit no decrease, but rather was maintained at a nearly constant value, comparable to its level below the boiling point.

비행체 속도를 증가시키기 위한 극초음속 항공기 기술 연구가 그동안 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 비행체의 속도증가는 비행체 구조의 변형을 유발할 수 있는 열적부하를 야기한다. 이러한 열적부하 처리를 위해 탄화수소형 흡열연료를 이용한 비행체 냉각에 대한 연구가 미국, 프랑스, 러시아 등 선진국에서 이루어지고 있다. 흡열연료(Endothermic fuels)는 열분해 또는 촉매분해와 같은 흡열반응(Endothermic reaction)을 통해 열을 흡수하는 액체 탄화수소 비행체 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 흡열연료의 모델연료로써 methylcyclohexane, n-octane, n-dodecane을 선정하여 흡열특성 연구를 진행하였다. 실험조건은 흡열연료가 사용되는 각 연료의 초임계 조건이며 온도별 분해율 분석, 열분해 생성물분석, 흡열량 계산을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 목표는 모델연료의 흡열특성을 규명함으로써 실제 비행체에 널리 사용되는 케로신 연료의 흡열특성 예측에 기여하는 것이다.
