고강성 탄소섬유는 높은 비강도 및 고 강성 특성 때문에 탄소-탄소 복합재료의 가장 우수한 강화재로 각광을 받고 있다. 이 섬유는 미세 결정립의 높은 이방성을 나타내며, 이러한 높은 흑연화 특성은 기계적, 전기적, 전기적 그리고 화학적 특성 등을 좋게한다. 이러한 모든 방면에서의 우수한 특성 때문에 항공우주 재료분야에 의심 없이 가장 우수한 재료로 고려되고 있다. 이렇게 가벼우면서 고온강도가 요구되는 재료로써 탄소재료가 이용되면서 rocket의 nozzle이나 nosecone으로의 응용에는 고온 산화가 중요한 연구주제로 대두되어 왔다. 탄소재료의 산화반응은 결정구조 인자 및 그 배열에 가장 큰 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있는데, 출발원료 및 제조 조건에 따라 그 구조 및 배열이 현격하게 달라진다. 탄소재료의 구조 해석은 주로 TEM과 XRD를 이용해 왔다. 많은 연구자들은 오래 전부터 탄소재료 연구에 TEM에서 얻은 상이 불확실하고 문제가 있다고 보고하였고, 최근 TEM 장치의 발달과 더불어 실제 구조를 얻기가 가능함을 보여주고 있다 그러나 TEM 시편은 여전히 작고 시편으로부터 얻는 정보는 불과 nm 수준이다. 따라서 일반적으로 TEM으로 얻은 정량적인 정보는 불과 특정한 점에서의 정보이기 때문에 여전히 논란의 소지가 많다. XRD는 탄소재료의 미세구조 해석을 위하여 가장 널리 이용되는 분석기기이다.

Ejector system can induce the secondary flow or affect the secondary chamber pressure by both shear stress and pressure drop which are generated in the primary jet boundary. Ejectors are widely used in a range of applications such as a turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system and a high altitude test facility for rocket engine, pressure recovery system, desalination plant and ejector ramjet etc. The primary interest of this study is to set up an design procedure on the configuration and operating condition of multi-ejector for the various high altitude simulation.

The method suggested in this thesis is the safe and economic method when testing rocket engine because ground test facility copies high altitude. We have decided to use the schematic of testing facility based on already known design method and test result, and we have decided the test condition for ground firing test of solid fuel. In addition the pressure of nozzle exit area is 0.1bar, we have designed the testing facility structure to test in this condition. Moreover, we have designed to reduce the accident probability.

1.6 MW class supersonic partial admission impulse turbine has been designed and tested in Korea Aerospace Research Institute for the liquid rocket engine application. The test has been performed using a high pressure air source facility in KARI. For the turbine power absorption, a hydraulic dynamometer has been used. Appropriate similarity relations are used for the determination of test condition. Various settings of turbine pressure ratio and rotational speed are tested to investigate global turbine characteristics. From measured data, parameters related to the turbine design are derived and validated.

Experimental study on combustion characteristics of double swirl coaxial injectors has been conducted for the assessment of critical design parameters of injectors. A subscale thrust chamber has been fabricated with a water-cooled copper nozzle, which allows a chamber to be reused without replacing parts. Two different designs of injectors have been tested for the understanding of the effects of recess length on combustion. Clearly, the recess length drastically affects the combustion efficiency and hydraulic characteristics of the injector. Internal mixing of propellants in the injector with the recess number of two increases a combustion efficiency and reveals sound combustion although a pressure drop required for the similar amount of mass flow rates increases compared with the injector of the recess number of one.

In this study, one dimensional aerodynamic and structural study of a partial admission turbo pump turbine was performed. A turbine consists of a nozzle, rotor, outlet guide vanes. The aerodynamic characteristics of each component was derived from the governing equation and validated from the CFD calculations. One-dimensional basic design such as velocity triangles was conducted from the mean line analysis and modified from the 2-D and 3-D CFD analysis. The blade profile was determined by the CFD optimization. The thermal stress analysis and structural analysis are needed to be studied in the next design stage.

로켓엔진에서 노즐은 추력을 발생하고, 단위 면적당 열 전달이 최대가 되는 곳으로 구조적으로 가장 취약한 부분이다. 이런 가혹한 조건에서 사용되어질 수 있는 4D 탄소/탄소 복합재를 제조하였으며. 초밀도화시, 탄화압력은 100bar 와 900bar 에서 각각 시행되었다. 만들어진 시편의 밀도는 1.5~l.9g/$cm^3$ 이었다. 실제 로켓을 모사할 수 있는 지상연소시험을 통해 밀도에 따른 삭마율을 계산한 결과, 밀도가 높을수록 삭마율은 감소하였다. 또한 3-point bending test를 통해 굽힘강도(flexural strength)를 측정하였으며, 굽힘강도를 개선시켜주었다.

Supersonic ejectors are simple mechanical components, which generally perform mixing and recompression of two fluid streams. Ejectors have found many applications in engineering. In aerospace engineering, they are used for high altitude testing (HAT) 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 (SED). This paper aims at the improvement in HAT facility by focusing attention on the vertical firing rocket test stand with shock generators. Shock generators are mounted inside the SED for improving the pressure recovery. The results clearly showed that the performance of the ejector-diffuser system was improved with the addition of shock generators. The improvement comes in the form of reduction of the starting pressure ratio and the vertical height of test stand. It is also shown that shock generators are useful in reducing the total pressure loss in the SED.
