Abstract

A ground hot-firing test(HFT) was accomplished to draw a correlation between the pressure oscillation intensity of combustion chamber and thrust response characteristics in a 70 N-class hydrazine thruster which has been developed recently. Monopropellant grade hydrazine was adopted as a propellant for the HFT, and combustion-chamber characteristic length, propellant injection pressure were applied as test parameters. It was confirmed that the decrease of thrust-chamber diameter and injection pressure augmented the pressure oscillation of stagnation chamber in the test condition specified, and the oscillation hampered the pulse response performance of test models.

70 N급 단일액체추진제 추력기 개발모델의 연소실 압력진동 강도와 추력응답특성이 갖는 상관도 도출을 위해 지상연소시험을 수행하였다. 단일추진제급 하이드라진이 연소시험용 추진제로 선정되었고, 연소실의 특성길이와 추진제 분사압력이 시험변수로 적용되었다. 시험조건 내에서의 추력실 직경 및 추진제 분사압력의 감소는 정체실의 압력진동을 증대시키고, 압력진동은 시험모델의 펄스 응답성능을 저해하는 요소로 작용하는 것이 확인되었다.
