High pressure combustion with multiphase--liquid, gas, and supercritical phase--mixtures are widely used technology in the high efficiency liquid propellent rocket engine. This is the typical characteristics differentiate from the combustor of conventional air-breathing engines. Therefore, successful research of high pressure combustion at supercritical condition is essential to develope a high efficiency liquid rocket engine. Numerical studies have been carried out to explore capabilities of numerical method for LOx-CH4 non-premixed flames at high pressure. In this paper, corresponding numerical results are presented and compared with experimental result of MASCOTTE facility.

차세대 로켓 엔진의 추진제중 하나로 부각되어지고 있는 메탄 엔진의 연소 특성을 파악하기 위하여 가스메탄과 액체산소를 추진제로 사용하는 로켓 엔진의 인젝터를 설계/제작 하였다. 동축 스월/전단형 인젝터를 채택하여 제작하였으며, 상용 해석 프로그램인 Fluent를 사용하여 유동해석을 수행한 결과를 바탕으로 인젝터의 주요 변수들을 선정하였다. 제작된 인젝터는 수류실험을 통하여 미립화와 분무특성을 파악하였고, 설계점에서의 연소실험을 수행하여 점화 및 연소 안정성을 확인하였다. 또한, 혼합비(O/F ratio)를 변화시켜가며 연소 실험을 수행하여 특성 속도($C^*$)와 연소실 압력 섭동 값을 이용하여 연소 특성 및 안정성을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 모든 혼합비 영역에서 평균적으로 90% 이상의 높은 연소 효율을 보였고, 압력 섭동 값이 2% 미만으로 연소안정성을 확인하였다.

An experimental research program is being undertaken to develop a regeneratively-cooled experimental thrust chamber of liquid rocket engine using liquefied natural gas and liquid oxygen as propellants. Prior to firing test using a regenerative cooling with liquefied natural gas in this program, several firing tests were conducted with water as a coolant. Experimental thrust chambers with a thrust of about 10tf were developed and their firing test facility was built up. Injector used in the thrust chamber was of shear-coaxial type appropriate for propellants of gas and liquid phase and cooling channels are of milled rectangular configuration. Periodical variation of the soot deposition and discoloration was observed through an eyes' inspection on the inner wall of a combustion chamber and a nozzle after each firing test, and an intuitive concept of the periodical variation of mixture ratio near the inner wall of a combustion chamber and a nozzle at once was brought about and analyzed quantitatively. Thermal heat flux to the coolant was calculated and modified with the periodical variation model of mixture ratio, and the increment of coolant temperature at cooling channels was compared with measured one.

Liquid rocket engines using liquefied natural gas (LNG) or methane as a fuel is known to have several good characteristics, such as high specific impulse compared to other hydrocarbon fuels, environment-friendly exhaust gas, low production cost, and re-usability with low soot generation in the cooling channel. In this study, experimental combustion chambers capable of using LNC and $CH_{4}$ are being researched through experimental firing tests, and within easy range of eyes' inspection, there are the periodical existence of soot or discoloration in the chamber wall surface. This result means that mixture ratio of oxidizer and fuel fluctuates periodically between outer-row injectors in the mixing head in the circumferential direction. Therefore, based on this phenomenon, the variation of mixture ratio near the chamber wall caused by the spill pattern of a shear coaxial injector was analyzed quantitatively and the thermal heat flux Into the cooling channel is modified. Then, the calculated and modified results are compared with the measured ones.

동축형 전단 분사기의 액적분포 균일도 및 혼합성능을 개선하기 위해 고안한 액체로켓 엔진용 동축형 다공성 분사기의 개발에 앞서 다공성재를 분사기에 적용하기 위해 다공성재를 통과하는 압축성 유체의 압력강하 특성을 파악하였다. Non-Darcy 유동의 압력강하는 점성력과 관성력으로 인한 손실을 포함하는 Forchheimer 방정식을 이용하여 도출할 수 있으며, 이 때 다공성재의 형상인자인 투과율과 관성력의 영향을 나타내는 Ergun 상수를 이용하여 다공성재를 통과하는 압축성 유체의 압력강하를 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성재의 압력강하 특성을 나타내는 투과율와 Ergun 상수를 작동유체의 압력강하에 대한 함수로 나타내었으며, 최종적으로 이를 일반화하여 pore의 크기에 따라 압력강하를 예측할 수 있는 관계식을 도출하였다.
