Firing tests have been carried out for a technology demonstration model of 75-tonf-class combustor which is to be used on the liquid rocket engine of a Korean space launch vehicle. Firing tests were done at 50% of the nominal flow rate because of incapability of the test facility and limit of the test bed strength. Through the low pressure firing tests of 75-tonf-class channel cooling thrust chamber, operability and stability at the ignition and combustion phases were confirmed. Additionally it was foreseen that the 75-tonf-class thrust chamber would satisfy the performance requirements.

Sub-system requirements of a pressure-fed hot-firing test facility for performance assessment of a Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) thrust chamber using Liquid oxygen and kerosene were described. These requirements were based on the experience of construction and operation of the ground hot-firing test facility which was used for the development of the KSR-III and a 30 tonf-class LRE thrust chamber. So it is expected that this paper is used as a basic material and an itemized previous review statement for the design and construction of a large hot-firing test facility.

Using the technology demonstration model of 75-tonf-class combustor which is expected to be used to the rocket engine of a korean space launch vehicle, 2 times of firing tests were carried out. Firing tests were done at 50% of the nominal flow rate because of incapability of the test facility and limit of the test bed strength. Through the low pressure firing tests of 75-tonf-class channel cooling thrust chamber, reliability and stability at the ignition and combustion phases were confirmed. Additionally it was foreseen that the 75-tonf-class thrust chamber would satisfy the performance requirements.

This paper introduces the method how to measure the thrust in impulse facility. In a Facility having such a short duration time of steady flow, there's no time to reach a steady state of the forces acting on model so that the test model vibrates until the end of the flow. The forces exerted on an engine exist with vibration so that the usual force balance can not be used. SWFB(Stress Wave Force Balance) technique is utilized in a shock tunnel to get the thrust. As an example, a model force balance has been calculated its strain against impulse force by using FEM(Finite Element Method). A transfer function between the impulse force and strain has been obtained by the way of de-convolution.

This study experimentally examines combustion characteristics of a hybrid rocket in which solid paraffin is used as a fuel, while oxidizer is pure oxygen. Especially, the experiment investigates the effects of chamber pressure and configuration of fuel grain. The pressure inside the combustion chamber is varied by changing a flow rate of oxidizer. The regression rate is observed to increase as the chamber pressure does. There also exists the effects of shape of fuel grain on thrust. Characteristic of paraffin hybrid rocket changes with shape of fuel grain. When there is a room near the injector, thrust increases. On the other hand, the room near the nozzle does not contribute to thrust increasement.

A literature survey has been reported of the systems analysis on the liquid rocket engines. The analysis tools are mainly about the calculation of the rocket engine performance at the early days. However recent trend shows that researchers try to develop an integrated environment of distributed analysis tools for faster and cheaper analysis. This article presents the systems analysis results of the liquid rocket engine of gas generator cycle using the published mass estimating model. The specific impulse change for various thrust to weight ratio agrees qualitatively well with the published data.

Combustion test facility for liquid rocket engine using kerosene and liquid oxygen has been developed for the purpose of cooling and performance study. Test engine of thrust under 1.0 KN can be evaluated, and the real combustion test ensures a good operation of the combustion test facility. Combustion test facility will be modified to supply natural gas and liquefied natural gas as fuel and to give a regenerative cooling test.
