The propellant tile and crack which account for the greatest proportion of solid rockets are profoundly affected by viscosity and mechanical properties of solid propellant. In this paper HTPB/AP/Al system propellant has been researched for the viscosity, mechanical properties and burning properties with type and contents of bonding agents. The viscosity of propellant was changed significantly depending on the type and contents of bonding agents, and mechanical properties of HTPB/AP/Al system propellant were also varied. Considering both lower viscosity and stable mechanical properties, the optimum type and contents of bonding agents can be identified as the main factors to the HTPB/AP/Al system propellant.

The propellant acquisition vane (PAV) is a key part of a vane type surface tension propellant management device (PMD), which can manage the propellant effectively. In the present paper, the fluid transportation behaviors for five PAVs with different sections were investigated by using microgravity drop tower test. Further, numerical simulation for the propellant flow in a PMD under microgravity condition was also carried out based on VOF model, and showed the similar flow pattern for PAVs to the experiment. It is noted that the section geometry of PAVs is one of the main factors affecting the fluid transportation behavior of PMD. PAVs with bottom length ratio of 5/6 and 1/2 have larger propellant transportation velocity. Based on the experiments, there were two stages during the process of propellant transportation under microgravity environment: liquid relocation and steady transportation stage. It is also recognized that there is a linear correlation between liquid transportation velocity and relative time's square root. Those results can not only provide a guideline for optimization of new vane type PMDs, but also are helpful for fluid control applications in space environment.

고체추진기관 내에 점화기와 추진제 그레인 간격에 따라 화염에 의해 발현되는 내부 유동 형태에 대해 전산유체해석(CFD)를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 실린더형과 슬롯형 추진제 그레인에 대해 실린더형은 간격 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 슬롯형은 점화기의 화염 분출구가 넓은 간격에 위치한 경우와 좁은 간격에 위치한 경우에 대해 수치 해석을 수행하였다. 실린더형은 간격이 좁을수록 점화기와 추진제 사이에 고압력이 형성되며, 점화기 말단 부근에서 압력 강하 또한 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 실린더형은 간격에 영향을 받았으나, 슬롯형은 화염 분출구 위치에 관계없이 압력 형태가 유사하게 나타났으며, 실린더형 간격 5 mm와 유사한 결과를 보였다.

추진제를 추진제 탱크에 충전하는 과정은 발사 준비 과정에서 중요한 역할을 하며, 추진제 충전량의 정확도는 발사체 전체 무게와 관련되어 있다. 발사체에 사용되는 추진제 중에는 액체산소와 같은 극저온 추진제도 사용되며, 극저온 추진제는 탱크 내의 환경에 따라 쉽게 액상에서 기상으로 변화된다. 따라서 추진제 탱크 내의 추진제 표면 주위에서 추진제 수위를 판별할 수 있는 액상과 기상의 경계면을 명확하게 파악 할 수 있는 수위 측정시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 정전용량형 3전극 원리를 이용한 측정시스템의 제작과정과 예비시험을 통하여 액체의 높이가 변화할 때 전기신호가 변화되는 것을 확인하였다. 시험 결과로부터 물의 높이 변화에 비례하게 전압이 선형적으로 증감하는 경향을 파악하였다.

Micro planar type liquid propellant thruster was fabricated by MEMS manufacturing process for micro/nano satellites applications. 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide was used as propellant and for propellant decomposition, Pt/Al2O3 was used as catalyst. Micro thruster structure was made by 5 photosensitive glasses patterned with thruster component profiles. Objective thrust was 50 mN and required hydrogen peroxide mass flow was 2.1 ml/min, which was supplied by syringe pump and teflon tube in experimental test. Performance test said that average steady thrust was approximately 30 mN, around 60% of objective thrust, and transient time was about 5 sec. It is estimated that extended response time was due to high thermal energy loss of micro scale thruster and low enthalpy input by propellant mass flow.

강내탄도 전산해석 코드를 이용하여 고체 추진제 형상에 따른 강내탄도 성능을 예측해 보았다. 기존의 연구에서는 볼형의 추진제만을 다룬데 반해 이번 연구에서는 추가적으로 실린더형과 단공형의 추진제를 다루었다. 각 추진제의 형상에 따라 비표면적이 달라지고 이로 인해 강내탄도의 성능변화가 나타남을 확인했다.

Thrust throttling in a liquid rocket engine can be implemented via several ways such as high pressure drop injector, dual manifold, multiple chamber, pintle injector, and gas injection. Thrust throttling using gas injection controls thrust by usually injecting inert gas into propellant through an aerator to reduce the propellant's bulk density. In this study, the outside-in aerator was used in the propellant line to create two phase flow. Closed-type, open-type, and screw-type bi-swirl coaxial injectors were utilized for investigating throttling characteristics such as pressure drop, mixture density, and discharge coefficient according to gas-liquid mass ratio.

Supersonic and hypersonic aircrafts must pass wide range of speed to reach high speed region. But for existing engines the most efficient operating speed ranges are decided according to their flying speed, so an engine which mixes several engines like TRJ (Turbo Ramjet) and ARJ (Air Turbo Ramjet) has been planed. This mixed type engine has inefficiency that more than two engines must be installed simultaneously, but the pulse detonation engine (PDE) that uses detonation wave has a strong point that it can operate in all speed range with single engine. This paper deals with the simulation of the pulse detonation engine which uses hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$ mono propellant. Hydrogen peroxide is low-cost propellant, and it is reacted without oxidizer. Comparison between $H_2-O_2$ mixture with $H_2O_2$ mono propellant about thrust, pressure, temperature and velocity shows that $H_2O_2$ is a very useful propellant.

In order to achieve thrust vector control and discharge stabilization in Hall thrusters, the azimuthal nonuniformity of propellant flow rate in an acceleration channel was created. A plenum chamber was divided into two rooms by two walls and propellant flow rate supplied to each section was independently controlled. In a magnetic layer type Hall thruster, steering angle of up to ${\pm}2.3$ degree was achieved. In an anode layer type Hall thruster, discharge current oscillation amplitude was decreased with the normalized differential mass flow rate.
