The ejector is a simple device which can transport a low-pressure secondary flow by using a high-pressure primary flow. In general, it consists of a primary driving nozzle, a mixing section, and a diffuser. The ejector system entrains the secondary flow through a shear action generated by the primary jet. Until now, a large number of researches have been made to design and evaluate the ejector systems, where it is assumed that the ejector system has an infinite secondary chamber which can supply mass infinitely. However, in almost all of the practical applications, the ejector system has a finite secondary chamber implying steady flow can be possible only after the flow inside ejector has reached an equilibrium state after the starting process. To the authors' best knowledge, there are no reports on the starting characteristics of the ejector systems and none of the works to date discloses the detailed flow process until the secondary chamber flow reaches an equilibrium state. The objective of the present study is to investigate the starting process of an ejector-diffuser system. The present study is also planned to identify the operating range of ejector-diffuser systems where the steady flow assumption can be applied without uncertainty. The results obtained show that the one and only condition in which an infinite mass entrainment is possible is the generation of a recirculation zone near the primary nozzle exit. The flow in the secondary chamber attains a state of dynamic equilibrium at this point.

사각 노즐을 갖는 측추력기의 유동 특성 분석을 위해 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. RANS 기법을 이용하였으며 측추력기의 유량 조절 셔터가 회전하는 각도는 두 가지의 경우에 대해 계산을 수행하였다. 셔터의 형상적인 특성으로 인한 내부의 재순환 영역을 관찰하였고, 사각 노즐에서의 유동의 비대칭성을 확인하였다. 또한 셔터의 개폐 정도에 따라 노즐 내 유동의 비대칭성이 심화되어 추력이 편향되는 것을 관찰하였다. 셔터가 회전함에 따라 추력이 편향되는 정도와 추력 성능을 예측하고 이론적으로 계산한 추력 값과 비교하였다.

Supersonic ejectors are simple mechanical components, which generally perform mixing and/or recompression of two fluid streams. Ejectors have found many applications in engineering. In aerospace engineering, they are used for altitude testing of a propulsion system by reducing the pressure of a test chamber. It is composed of three major sections: a vacuum test chamber, a propulsive nozzle, and a supersonic exhaust diffuser. This paper aims at the improvement of ejector-diffuser performance by focusing attention on reducing exhaust back flow into the test chamber, since alteration of the backflow or recirculation pattern appears as one of the potential means of significantly improving low supersonic ejector-diffuser performance. The simplest backflow-reduction device was an orifice plate at the duct inlet, which would pass the jet and entrained fluid but impede the movement of fluid upstream along the wall. Results clearly showed that the performance of ejector-diffuser system was improved for certain a range of system pressure ratios, where as there was no appreciable transition in the performance for lower pressure ratios and the orifice plate was detrimental to the ejector performance for higher pressure ratios. It is found that an appropriately sized orifice system should produce considerable improvement in the ejector-diffuser performance in the intended range of pressure ratios.

Experimental studies on determination of the supply leading time of propellants to combustion chamber have been made to stably and efficiently guarantee the ignition process with liquid rocket engine. The propellant used is a Jet A-1 as fuel and a liquid oxygen as oxidizer. Unlike impinging FOOF type of injectors are arranged radially and the designed O/F ratio is 2.34. The present experiment program also includes the stability on the quadlet type of ignitor using the triethylalumimum as an ignition source and injector life tests. Experimental results clarifies that the propellant supply through LOx leading to combustion chamber is proper for stable ignition and combustion processes based on the fuel and oxidizer manifold pressures, combustion chamber pressure, and the variation of flame length from the nozzle exit with lapse time, and shows that the leading supply time of propellants affects the engine performance little. The effect of positioning cooling holes is remarkable to protect the injector face.

It is also found that there is no change in the performance of diffuser with orifice at its inlet, in terms of its pressure recovery. Hence an appropriately sized orifice system should produce considerable improvement in the ejector-diffuser performance in the intended range of pressure ratios.

희박예혼합 가스터빈 연소기에 적용되는 스월 유동은 연소효율증가와 배기가스저감을 목적으로 적용된 것로 연소기 내 유동장의 전단층생성에 의한 재순환영역이 생성되게 한다. 이러한 재순환영역은 연소가스 재순환에 의한 화염온도와 화염길이를 낮추는 효과를 가지고 있다. 또한 희박연소에서 연소불안정성 억제효과도 있다. 본 연구에서는 모형가스터빈연소기에서 스월러를 이용하여 스월유동을 유도하고, 연소기 노즐에서 평균속도가 일정 할 때의 스월수 증가에 따른 유동장의 속도분포 특성을 분석하였으며 이때 PIV 계측 실험과 난류통계기법을 이용하여 난류인자들을 도출하였다. 스월수의 증가는 연소기 내부 유동장의 형태가 바뀌게 되고, 재순환영역의 위치가 연소기 노즐방향으로 이동하게 되어 화염길이를 줄여 주며, 난류강도와 난류길이 스케일이 감소하게 되어 에디의 크기가 작아짐을 확인하였다.

In general, TVC(Thermal Vapor Compressor) is used to boost/compress a low pressure vapor to a higher pressure for further utilization. The one-dimensional method is simple and reasonably accurate, but cannot realize the detail as like the back flow and recirculation in the mixing chamber, viscous shear effect, and etc. In this study, the axisymmetric How simulations have been performed to reveal the detailed flow characteristics for the various ejector shapes. The Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved together with the continuity equation In the compressible flow fields. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model is selected for the turbulence modeling. The commercial computational fluid dynamic code FLUENT software is used for the simulation. The results contain the entrainment ratio under the various motive, suction and discharge pressure conditions. The numerical results are compared with the experimental data, and the comparison shows the good agreement. The three different flow regimes (double chocking, single chocking and back flow) have been clearly distinguished according to each boundary pressure values. Also the effects of the various shape variables (nozzle position, nozzle outlet diameter, mixing tube diameter, mixing tube converging angle, and etc.) are quantitatively discussed.

순산소 연소와 배가스 재순환(FGR : Flue Gas Recirculation) 기술은 $CO_2$ 저감 목적으로 많은 연구자들의 관심을 받아왔다. 본 연구는 다공 동축 버너를 이용하여 산소 공급비(OFR : Oxygen Feeding Ratio)에 따른 순산소 연소 특성과 동일 조건에서 FGR 시스템을 모사하기 위하여 공급 위치에 따른 $CO_2$ 첨가 효과의 특성을 비교하는 데에 초점을 맞추었다. 순산소 연소는 당량비 0.93 에 해당하는 연료 유량 15lpm 일 때 OFR 전 영역에서 안정적이었고, 화염 구조와 길이는 OFR 에 따라 변동하였다. 순산소 연소에 $CO_2$ 를 첨가할 때, 안정, 천이, 준평형, 불안정 그리고 날림 등의 다양한 안정화 모드가 관찰되었으며, 연소로 내의 전반적인 온도분포가 감소하였고, 특히 case 4 에서 1800 K 이하로 떨어져 최대 감소 효과를 보였다. 노즐 끝단으로부터 높이에 따른 $CO_2$ 농도는 첨가된 $CO_2$ 의 체적 비율에 따라 변동하였다.
