Abstract

The present study developed a design code for preburner of staged combustion cycle engines, which calculates preburnt gas at high-pressure oxidizer-rich conditions and predicts conjugate heat transfer and hydraulics of cryogenic fluid flow through cooling passages. It has been written based on the open-source library Cantera, into which this study has incorporated new source codes to predict correctly non-ideal thermodynamics and transport anomalies of the cryogenic fluid. For a preburner of 100 tonf-class booster engine currently under preliminary design, the present code demonstrated predictive capability and usability as a design code by comparing with CFD simulation.

본 연구에서는 케로신 다단연소사이클 엔진용 예연소기를 설계하기 위해, 고압의 산화제 과잉 조건에서 예연소가스를 계산하고 냉각유로에서 극저온 유체의 복합열전달 및 수력 특성을 해석할 수 있는 설계코드를 개발하였다. 사용자 편의성과 범용성을 가진 오픈 소스 라이브러리 Cantera를 활용하였으며, 실제유체의 열역학/전달 상태량을 정확히 계산하기 위해 관련 소스 코드들을 새로 작성하여 Cantera에 추가하였다. 현재 예비설계 중인 100톤급 부스터 엔진용 예연소기에 적용하였으며, CFD 해석결과와 비교를 통해 설계코드로서의 예측 정확도와 활용성을 확인하였다.
