The mixing of fuel and oxidizer and each mass distribution of unlike split triplet(F-O-O-F) injector for liquid rocket which are known to affect the combustion efficiency significantly, has been investigated using PLLIF technique. Experiment is conducted to investigate the effect of mixture ratio(MiR), momentum ratio(MoR) and impinging angle on mixing efficiency. The mixing efficiency, which is introduced by Rupe, gives the global chracteristic of spray mixing. Experiment far comparison with triplet injector(F-O-F), which has same momentum ratio and impinging angle with split triplet injector is conducted.

In this paper, the combustion characteristics of a hybrid propulsion system were studied with various L/D(length vs diameter) ratio of the single po.1 type solid fuel. Experiments were performed for 2 cases with the fixed grain port diameter and fuel length respectively. For the first case, results show that there are no large variations for regression rates as the L/D ratio changes. And as the L/D ratio increases, the O/F ratio decreases and thrust, characteristic velocity tends to increase. For the second case, there is no large change for O/F ratio, thrust and characteristic velocity as L/D ratio changes. On the other hand, as the L/D ratio decreases, only the regression rate tends to increase. Experimentally, exponent n in $\dot{r}=a{G_0}^n$ was found about 0.5 and then the O/F ratio was shown nearly constant. In the experiment, PE and gas oxygen were used as a fuel and an oxidizer.

Combustion tests of a low thrust rocket engine was performed to get combustion characteristics, which used a high concentrated hydrogen peroxide and kerosene as the oxidizer and fuel. The engine consisted of multi injector(six coaxial swirl injectors), chamber, nozzle and catalyst ignition system. The test was carried out by changing O/F ratio from 3.8 to 11.0. The experimental results showed that combustion efficiency was highest at O/F ratio from 5 to 6 and pressure fluctuations of all the range were lower than 5%.

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.

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.

$H_2/O_2$ 비에 따른 Hybrid HVOF 용사된 $Cr_3C_2$-7wt%(NiCr) 용사층의 특성 및 산화거동 This study was performed to investigate the influence of fuel/oxygen ratio (F/O=3.2, 3.0, 2.8) on the characteristics and the oxidation behavior of the hybrid-HVOF sprayed $Cr_3C_2$-7wt%NiCr coatings. Decomposition and the oxidation of the $Cr_3C_2$was occured during spraying. The degree of transformation from $Cr_3C_2$to $Cr_7C_3$ was increased with decreasing the F/O ratio. The microstructural differences of the as sprayed coating with F/O ratio can not be distinguished, However, large pores were diminished and then the coatings became dense by heat treatment. Microhardness of the as-sprayed specimen which sprayed with F/O=3.0 condition was hightest ($Hv_{300}$=1140) and the hardness was increased to 1500 after heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ for 50hrs in air. It was supposed that hardness was increased due to the formation of $Cr_2O_3$ within $Cr_3C_2$/$Cr_7C_3$matrix and the densification of coating layer during heat treatment. Apparent activation energy for oxidation was varied from 21.2 kcal$mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ to 23.8 kcal$mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ with respect to the F/O ratio. The surface morphology was changed to porous and oxide chusters were grown after oxidation $1000^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours by the aggressive evolution of gas phase ($CrO_3$ and$CO_2$). The oxide cluster was composed of Ni and Cr.

The influence of deposition parameter on the electrical, optical andsurface morphology of $SnO_2(:F)$ films prepared by ultrasonic spray deposition using DBDA and $SnCl_4.5H_2O$ as a source material was studied. Resistivity was decreased sharply with increasing F/Sn ratio in solution up to 0.6. Depending on the source material, $SnCl_4.5H_2O$ shows lower resistivity than DBDA. When F/Sn ratio in solution was 1, optical transmittance was higher DBDA than $SnCl_4.5H_2O$.

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.

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.
