Numerical heat/flow analysis was performed on a liquid rocket engine head with the cooling water manifold to ensure the durability of a ground test facility for heat exchanger. Through these studies, the shapes of the injector and the flow path were determined and applied to the head of the engine under development. Firing tests were conducted to verify the designed coolant manifold and no thermal damage was found on the engine-head-face. Comparing the combustion test results with the numerical analysis, the outlet temperature of coolant showed a difference of about $15^{\circ}C$. This trend is reasonable considering existence of LOX manifold, thermal barrier coating, and the actual location of flame.

The 2nd stage Kick Motor under the national aerospace middle and long term plan operates over the height of 300Km. Rocket Motors, designed for operation in high altitude, need nozzles with large expansion ratio to improve thrust efficiency. Hence, to evaluate the performance of such rocket motors on the ground, similar low pressure with the operating condition has to be made for the ground test to prevent flow separation in the nozzle. This study is for the installation of the high altitude test facility and test result for Kick Motor.

This research was conducted for an acquisition of the ramjet engine test facility design technique which are concerned about freejet type test facility. In this research, we concentrated on the design technique and the construction technique of the vitiation air heater(VAH), test section, diffuser and ejector. Based on the operating modes of the basic test facility, ten operating modes in coordinates "Altitude-Mach number" was regenerated from Mach 2, Altitude 0km to Mach 5, Altitude 15km. In this operating modes, we calculated a design parameter of the supersonic nozzle, VAH, diffuser and ejector and acquired a technique for the ramjet test facility operating and repairing.

In the design of KSLV-II, there is a scenario in which supercooled liquid oxygen is supplied to prevent a geysering phenomenon in the oxidizer pipe and a cavitation phenomenon at the pump inlet. To verify this condition in the engine development test phase, a system that supplies supercooled liquid oxygen to the engine was applied in the engine combustion test facility. In this system, supercooling methods using a vacuum ejector and using helium injection to the tank were appied. Both tests were carried out for about 17 minutes. Supercooling results of about 3.3K for the ejector test and about 2.2K for the helium injection test were obtained at the 50% level of the tank.

In this study, a cold flow test was carried out on a high-speed vehicle facility with a high-altitude environment simulator. Variable test was carried out according to the blockage ratio, angle, and length of the test model. It is confirmed that the blockage rate can be operated in the range of 40%, and that the model should be selected at an angle of 45 degrees or less. The variables of length are less dominant compared to the variables of blockage rate and angle. Through this, a database is obtained according to the parameters of the conical model of the high-speed vehicle test facility.

This paper describes the main considerations for the development of engine emergency protection system and applications to preliminary engine development tests. Emergency protection system performed its role without failure to shutdown test very quickly for the prevention of development of malfunctioning of test articles, which protected test articles and test facility in all abnormal situation occurred during preliminary engine development test program. This results will be used for the development of engine emergency protection system.

In recent years hydrogen peroxide has become considerably more attractive as a green rocket propellant so a laboratory model of hydrogen peroxide thruster adopted silver catalyst and a test facility has been developed to research a hydrogen peroxide propulsion. The design scheme of thruster and the test data are presented including ignition delay, efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity. As a result, 95% of efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity was obtained at steady state operation condition.

The moisture in the atmosphere exerts a lot of influence upon Gas turbine engine performances. There is a noticeable influence of wet air at the summer sea level, high flight mach number and low engine rpm increasingly. An altitude Engine Test Facility is used to accomplish the engine performance tests at dry air condition and wet air condition, through which engine performance results is revealed. In the result, net thrust and specific fuel consumption measured -2.826% and 1.325%, respectively at wet air condition compared to dry air condition.
