The sequence of the propellant supply is very important for the reliable and safe operation of a LRE combustion test. So combustion performance tests were performed to find an optimum test sequence by changing supply time of propellants and purge gas in the moment of ignition and extinction. The liquid rocket engine consisted of a catalytic ignitor and six swirl-coaxial injectors which used hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. Conclusively, an optimum sequence was found for stable combustion in the moment of ignition and extinction.

In this study, combustion performance tests of a multi coaxial-swirl injector engine using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene as propellants were performed to evaluate combustion characteristic according to mixture ratio between 6.0 and 9.0 by criterion of designed(7.6). Combustion characteristics were evaluated by calculated characteristic exhaust velocity($c^*$) and pressure fluctuation. Test results showed that the combustion efficiency was over 90% and the pressure fluctuation was within 1%.

Pintle injector is the most suitable injector for thrust control because it can control the area of propellant injection. Accordingly, the combustion test of multiple hole pintle injector and continuous type pintle injector was carried out in this paper using liquid oxygen and gas methane. The combustion performance of the two pintles was verified with the characteristic speed efficiency, and the experimental results were compared according to the O/F and combustion chamber pressure and under similar conditions. The efficiency of the multi hole pintle was generally somewhat higher than continuous pintle when pintle opening distance(the area of dispensing oxidizer) was in a 100% thrust condition.

The present study describes the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in compression ignition engines using diesel-gasoline dual fuel. For investigating combustion characteristics, diesel fuel was injected directly in a single-cylinder compression ignition engine with a common-rail injection system and gasoline fuel was injected into a premixed chamber installed in an intake port. In order to investigate exhaust emission characteristics, exhaust gas was measured by emission analyzer and smoke meter. The experimental results showed that cases of diesel-gasoline dual fuel combustion exhibited extended ignition delay and reduced peak combustion pressure compared to those of directly injected diesel fuel cases. Furthermore, premixed gasoline-air mixture reduced NOx emissions due to low peak of rate of heat release(ROHR).

The research and development status of combustion chamber of liquid rocjet engine for Korea Space Launch Vehicle(KSLV-II) are briefly described. The cold and hot firing tests of uni-element injector, the performance/heat flux measurement/hot firing tests of subscale combustion chamber and the performance/stability rating/regenerative cooling/hot fire tests of 30ton-class combustion chamber were successfully performed. Based on these results, the research and development of combustion chamber for 75ton-class liquid rocket engine are underway.

A laboratory scale thermogravimetric analyser was developed to investigate the combustion characteristics of selected solid fuel(wood) in the highly preheated air. The aims are to introduce in the means of experimental determination of the solid fuel particle characteristics through the combustion process in the environment of highly preheated air. A nearly single particle combustion condition was reproduced in a thermogravimetric analyser and regenerating combustor. For a fuel particle whose characteristic length was a few centimeter, the sub-processes of fuel drying, pyrolysis as well as the combustion of residual carbon were identified. Fluidized environment of carrier gas was selected as the major parameter which affect the combustion process.

The purpose of the research is to investigate of diesel spray combustion for simultaneously reduce way NOx and PM. The pressure diesel injection were done into intermediates that are generated by very lean DME HCCI combustion using a RCM. The concentration of intermediate could not be directly measured; we estimated it by CHEMKIN calculation. DME HCCI characteristic is surveyed. Validations of the CHEMKIN calculation were confirmed pressure rise of an experiment and pressure rise of a calculation. Using a framing streak camera captured two dimensional spontaneous luminescence images from chemical species at low temperature reaction(LTR) and high temperature reaction (HTR). Also, the combustion events were observed by high-speed direct photography, the ignition and combustion were analyzed by the combustion chamber pressure profiles.

In general, burning time is not considered with a factor of an empirical relation on the combustion characteristic in hybrid propulsion system. So, The effect of burning time on hybrid combustion characteristics and propulsion characteristics was studied. As results, regression rate is decrease with burning time, but fuel mass flux is maintained nearly constant with burning time at given oxidizer mass flux.

In this study, we analyze the combustion characteristic of GOx/PE hybrid rocket, by changing port diameter of the propellant. To study combustion characteristics of hybrid rocket, GOx is used for oxidizer and PolyEthylene is used for solid propellant. Regression rate and O/F ratio of the rocket is measured and presented.

Combustion characteristics of the paraffin-based hybrid rocket fuel were compared with HDPE fuel. Regression rate of the pure paraffin wax was increased 12.1 times, but characteristic velocity was lower than HDPE. In case of paraffin fuel with 10%wt LDPE, regression rate was lower than pure paraffin wax, but regression rate compare with HDPE was increased 3.5 times and characteristic velocity was increased. According to these results, it was confirmed that blending of polymeric fuel improves combustion efficiency.
