Study on the ignition characteristics of combustor and gas generator for LOx-kerosene liquid rocket engine was performed experimentally through a series of combustion tests of sub-scale engine combustor and gas generator. Characteristic of gas-torch ignitor based on gaseous methane and gaseous oxygen was compared with hypergolic ignition using propellant tri-ethyl-aluminium. Gas-torch ignitor showed good performance on igniting sub-scale liquid rocket engine combustor and gas generator. It was observed that the ignition delay is also affected by the extent of nitrogen in the combustion chamber.

A critical speed analysis of oxidizer pump was peformed for a 7 ton class liquid rocket engine as the third stage engine of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II. Based on the previously developed experimental 30 ton class turbopump and presently developing 75 ton class turbopump for the first and second stage rocket engine of Korea Space Launch Vehicle II, a layout and configuration of the 7 ton class turbopump rotor assembly are determined. A ball bearing stiffness analysis and rotordynamic analysis are performed for both of the bearing unloaded condition and loaded condition. Structural flexibility of the oxidizer pump casing is also included to predict critical speeds. From the numerical analysis, it is confirmed that the rotor system acquires sufficient separate margin of critical speed as a sub-critical rotor even though decrease of critical speed due to the casing structural flexibility.

In the present paper, the optimal selection of batteries for an electric pump-fed hybrid rocket engine is analyzed. A two-stage Mars Ascent Vehicle, suitable for the Mars Sample Return Mission, is considered as test case. A single engine is employed in the second stage, whereas the first stage uses a cluster of two engines. The initial mass of the launcher is equal to 500 kg and the same hybrid rocket engine is considered for both stages. Ragone plot-based correlations are embedded in the optimization process in order to chose the optimal values of specific energy and specific power, which minimize the battery mass ad hoc for the optimized engine design and ascent trajectory. Results show that a payload close to 100 kg is achievable considering the current commercial battery technology.

한국형발사체의 1단 및 2단 엔진으로 사용될 75톤급 액체로켓엔진의 연소시험이 엔진 연소시험설비에서 수행되었다. 이 엔진은 산화제로 극저온 유체인 액체산소를 사용하므로, 연소시험을 위해서는 필수적으로 설비의 공급 배관 및 엔진의 예냉과정이 진행되어 주어진 엔진 입구 온도 및 압력 요구조건이 만족되어야 한다. 따라서 향후 효율적인 시험 운용을 위해서는 시험 시 설비와 엔진에서의 예냉특성 및 예냉과정에서 소모되는 액체산소의 양을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 75톤급 액체로켓엔진의 연소시험에서 예냉과정의 고찰을 통하여 런탱크 가압 전, 후 각 단계에서의 설비배관 및 엔진의 예냉특성을 평가하였으며, 시험 시 소모되는 액체산소의 양을 평가하였다.

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

Hybrid propulsion systems provide many advantages in terms of stable operation and safety. However, classical hybrid rocket motors have lower fuel regression rate and combustion efficiency compared to solid propellant rocket motor. The recent research efforts are focused on the improvement of volume limitation and regression rate in the hybrid rocket engine. The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the hybrid rocket engine. The turbulent combustion is represented by the eddy breakup model and Hiroyasu and Nagle and Strickland-Constable model are used for soot formation and soot oxidation. Radiative heat transfer is modeled by finite volume method. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes in the vortex hybrid rocket engine.

Thermoacoustic oscillation, which stems from phase correlation between unsteady heat release and acoustic fluctuation, can cause severe vibration and incite the excessive local heat transfer inside the rocket engine. It is very important to understand and prevent this phenomenon in the way of rocket engine development. In this study, the propulsion test facility of KSR-III, which is the first liquid propellant rocket developed by KARI, will be introduced. and the characteristics of thermoacoustic ocillation occurred at the facility will be examined.
