As a rocket propellent of hydrocarbon fuels, the characteristics of liquefied natural gas was evaluated with the viewpoint of the constituents and content, the cooling performance as a coolant, and characteristic velocity and specific impulse as parameters of the engine performance. Content of methane was a principal factor to determine the characteristics as a rocket propellant and more than 90 % of it was needed as a fuel and coolant in the regenerative cooled liquid rocket engine. Some constituents of the liquefied natural gas can be frozen by the pre-cooling of the pipe lines, therefore they can be a factor disturbing the normal working of engine. In case the content of methane is around 90% in the liquefied natural gas, a normalized stoichiometric O/F mixture ratio of 0.75 is suggested for a nominal operation condition to get the maximum specific impulse and characteristic velocity.

A numerical analysis was performed on the fluid flow in injector orifice of a liquid rocket engine. The present computational code was verified against the published data for turbulent flow in a pipe with a sudden expansion-contraction. Considered were the parameters for the flow analysis in an injector orifice: Reynolds number, ratio of mass flow rate of the injector orifice and inlet flow rate, and slant angle of the injector orifice. The discharge coefficient increased slightly as the Reynolds number increased. The slant angle of the injector changed critically the discharge coefficient. The discharge coefficient increased by 7% when the slant angle changed from $-30^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$ The ratio of mass flow rate had relatively little impact on the discharge coefficient.

Considering the increase of interest in $H_{2}O_2$ as a rocket propellant, a test facility and a rocket engine have been developed to research in areas of $H_{2}O_2$ mono-propellant propulsion. A detailed design-study of a $H_{2}O_2$ mono-propellant rocket engine of 100-N thrust is presented. Several firings attempted in early stage had some problems with misfire and chamber pressure decrease. Low environmental temperature and impurities included in hydrogen peroxide were considered to be the reasons. Addressing these points resulted in successful firing of the rocket engine and obtained thrust about $100\sim107-N.$

Combustion instability, which is one of the most undesirable phenomena in the development of liquid Propellant rocket engine, can cause serious damage to the rocket itself, and must be evaded by all means. Unfortunately, KSR-III rocket went through the combustion instability during engine start at the propulsion test article No.2. To resolve the problem, time sequence has been changed, and the baffle system has been applied. In consequence of the change, stable combustion was achieved.

We have been developing a 1500N-thrust Swirling-Oxidizer-Flow-Type hybrid rocket engine. In order to put the engine into practical use, we conducted long duration burning experiments up to 25s to examine the influence of configuration change of fuel grain on the engine performance and designed an LOX vaporization nozzle to supply GOX for the 1500N-thrust engine. The experiment with a small hybrid rocket engine showed that combustion was stable and the engine performance was approximately constant during combustion. There was no essential problem to with increasing combustion time. The LOX vaporization nozzle designed had 30 rectangular channels with a depth of 0.5mm. During passing through the nozzle, the LOX increased in temperature and vaporized sufficiently.

As the rocket KSLV-1 called NARO was launched lately, development of domestic rocket technology has been accelerated elastically. Since the rocket technology needs a lot of empirical data, a variety of experiments should be done and lots of time have to be spent for accumulating the foundation of technology. However using a computer can be the solution to close a gap of technique because the simulation can be executed in short time against real experiments and calculate a multiplicity of cases easily. In this research, the transient analysis of turbopump-fed liquid rocket system was worked by the one dimensional modeling. The rocket system consists of the modulized components that are engine, turbopump and so on. For 70 ton class system, the rocket transient process of starting was studied and the performance analysis in steady condition was achieved. In addition, the estimation of nozzle internal flow was investigated by using a nozzle coefficient.

액체 로켓엔진 개발과정에서 수행되는 여러 가지 시험 중 연소 안정성 평가 시험을 통해, KSR-III 로켓엔진의 연소 안정성을 평가하였다. 안정성 평가시험에서, 엔진이 외부 교란에 의한 압력 진동을 감쇠시켜 본래의 안정한 연소를 회복하는 경우, 그 엔진은 연소 안정 화 능력을 가지고 있다고 판정할 수 있다. 로켓엔진은, 교란의 크기를 예측하기 어려운 외부 섭동에 노출될 수 있으므로, 연소 안정화 가능 여부를 확인하는 것과 더불어 엔진이 갖고 있는 연소 안정화 성능을 정량화하여 파악하는 작업이 필요하다. 이를 위해 몇 가지 주요 인자를 도입하였고, 이를 평가하는 방법을 검토하였다. 성공적으로 완료된 KSR-III 로켓 개발과정에서 로켓엔진의 안정성 확보를 위해 6회의 안정성 평가 시험이 수행되었다. 이를 토대로, 연소 안정화 성능의 정량화 방법을 KSR-III 엔진에 적용하여 엔진의 안정화 성능을 분석하였다.

A system analysis program has been developed for a gas generator cycle liquid rocket engine of 30 ton class. Numerical models have been proposed for a combustor, a turbopump, a gas generator and pressure drop through a regenerative cooling system. Numerical algorithm has been validated by comparing with the published data of MC-1. The major source of error is not the numerical algorithm but the imperfect performance models of subsystems. So the precision of the program can be improved by revising the performance models using experimental data. The sea level specific impulse and vacuum specific impulse have been demonstrated for a 30 ton class gas generator engine. The optimal condition of combustor pressure and mixture ratio for specific impulse which is a typical characteristic of a gas generator cycle engine has been illustrated.
