Most aircraft cruise in the stratosphere at which temperature is below $-50^{\circ}C$ md, as a result, the surface of aircraft can be iced up. Ice on the wing can change aerodynamic characteristic and results in the deterioration of its performance. Ice on the engine inlet increases the possibility of compressor blade damage and affects the performance and safety of the engine. This paper focused on the development of icing simulation device for analyzing effect of icing on engine performance. Icing simulation tests were conducted with a liquid air system and a icing simulation device and results show that icing could be simulated with this system.

항공기의 제트 엔진을 비롯하여 육상용 발전기, 선박용 엔진, 로켓 엔진 등에 널리 사용되는 터빈 블레이드를 포함한 고온용 가스터빈 부품은 최대 온도 120$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에 노출되어 가혹한 기계적 응력을 받는 동시에 고온에서의 표면 안정성이 요구되므로 초내열 니켈 합금(superalloy), 티타늄 합금, 내열강 등의 고온강도가 우수한 합금이 사용된다. 그런데 합금성분이 많이 첨가된 내열 합금을 용접하는 경우, 미세균열, 용접부의 기계적 성질의 저하, 용접열영향부의 내식성과 내산화성의 저하, 용접외부 결함에 의한 피로강도 저하 등의 문제가 발생하므로 이를 해결해야 한다. 본고에서는 생산성과 용접품질이 우수한 고밀도 에너지빔 용접의 적용 현황에 관하여 고찰코자 한다.

항공기용 원동기는 항공기를 추진시키기 위한 동력장치이다. 항공기가 추진력을 얻기 위해서는 프로펠러를 회전시켜 대량의 공기를 뒤로 가속시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법과, 단순히 배기 가스를 뒤로 고속분사시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 피스톤 엔진은 전자를, 터보 제트 엔진은 후자를 대표하고 있는데 두 가지 방법을 절충하여 터빈으로 프로펠러를 회전시키는 터보 프롭엔진과, 헬리콥터의 로우터를 회전시키는 터보 샤프트 엔진도 있다. 또 터보 제트 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진의 증간성능을 꾀한 터보 팬 엔진이 있는데 효율이 아주 좋기 때문에 급속히 발 전되어 항공기용 원동기의 대명사격으로 현재 군용이나 민간기용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최 근에는 터보팬 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진을 절충한 새로운 터보 프롭 APT (advanced turbo prop) 엔진의 실용화가 추진되고 있다. 이상과 같은 종류의 엔진 이외에도 항공기용 원동기에는 극히 제한된 용도에 쓰이는 램 제트와 펄스 제트 엔진 그리고 로켓 엔진 등이 있다. 원동기는 그 용 도에 따라 개발, 활용되는 것이기 때문에 오랜 역사를 지닌 피스톤 엔진은 아직까지도 경항공 기용 원동기의 주류를 이루고 있고, 앞으로도 터보 프롭 엔진과 더불어 나름대로 계속 활용될 것으로 전망된다.

The global restriction on pollutant emissions and the soaring of crude oil price are expected to result in the change of future transportation system. Hydrogen is considered to be the leading candidate as an alternative energy source before other new alternative energy sources emerge. Scientists anticipate that hydrogen fuel gas turbine engine and fuel cell will be the power plant of the aircraft in the near future. To realize the aircraft powered by fuel cell system in the future, the technologies such as fuel cell with higher energy density, compressed gas or liquid storage system of hydrogen fuel, and efficient and lightweight electric motor have to be developed first.

Present paper describes on/off design performance analysis of an 74KW industrial turboshaft gasturbine engine. Procedures to match between the compressor, combustor and turbine have been incorporated into the developed program satisfying compatibility requirement of flow and work and ratational speed. The validity of the performance results from the developed program are yet to be proved through performance experiments of the resultant engine, but comparison of the present results with those from "GASCAN(Thermoflow:America) under similar mass inlet flow, pressure ratio, and speed condition show good agreement despite present results underpredict 6-10% for power and up to 3% in efficiency, respectively.

A steady state performance simulation and diagnostics program for the turboprop engine (PT6A-62), which is the power plant of the first developed military basic trainer KT-1 in Republic of Korea, was developed. The developed steady state performance analysis program was evaluated with the performance data provided by the engine manufacturer and with analysis results of GASTURB program, which is well known for the performance simulation of gas turbines. Performance parameters were discussed to evaluate validity of the developed program at various cases such as altitude, flight velocity and part load variation. GPA(Gas Pass Analysis) allows engine performance deterioration to be identified at the module level in terms of reduction in component efficiencies and changes in mass flow. In order to find optimal instrument set to detect the physical faults such as fouling, erosion and corrosion, a gas path analysis approach is utilized. This study was performed in two cases for selection of optimal measurement parameters. One case was considered with the effect of instrument number by changing independent parameter number. The other case was performed with selection of independent parameter set. According to the analysis results, the optimal measurement parameters selected were eight dependent variables such as shaft horsepower, fuel flow rate, compressor exit pressure and temperature, compressor turbine inlet pressure and temperature and power turbine inlet pressure and temperature.

Infrared signatures emitted from naval ships are mainly classified into internal signatures generated by the internal combustion engine of the ship and external signatures generated from the surface of the ship heated by solar heat. The internal signatures are also affected by the chemical components ($CO_2$, $H_2O$, CO and soot) of the exhaust plumes generated by the gas turbine and diesel engine, which constitute the main propulsion system. Therefore, in this study, the chemical composition ratios of the exhaust plumes generated by the gas turbines and diesel engines installed in domestic naval ships were examined to identify the chemical components and their levels. The influence of the chemical components of the exhaust plumes and their ratios on the infrared signatures of a naval ship was investigated using orthogonal arrays. The infrared signature intensity of the exhaust plumes calculated using infrared signature analysis software was converted to the signal-to-noise ratio to facilitate the analysis. The signature analysis showed that $CO_2$, soot and $H_2O$ are the major components influencing the mid-wave infrared signatures of both the gas turbine and diesel engine. In addition, it was confirmed that $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ are the major components influencing the long-wave infrared signatures.

High reliability and minimization of operating cost are important problems for both engine-manufacturer and user in operation of gas-turbine engine, for which various performance diagnostics including a fault identification have been a major issue nowadays. Performance estimation in the off-design conditions, however, encounters problems of large errors and of poor convergence because of much required data to be evaluated. In this study, a diagnostics code of engine performance has been developed by using GPA(Gas Path Analysis). Quantitative performance deterioration of the turbo-shaft engine for SUAV has been estimated with altitude variation and is compared with that obtained by GSP code.

Measurement uncertainty analysis of fuel flow using turbine flowmeter was performed for the case of altitude engine test. SAE ARP4990 was used as the fuel flow calculation procedure, as well as the mathematical model for the measurement uncertainty assessment. The assessment was performed using Sensitivity Coefficient Method. 11 parameters involved in the calculation of the flow rate were considered. For the given equipment setup, the measurement uncertainty of fuel flow was assessed in the range of 1.19~1.86 % for high flow rate case, and 1.47~3.31 % for low flow rate case. Fluctuation in frequency signal from the flowmeter had the largest influence on the fuel flow measurement uncertainty for most cases. Fuel temperature measurement had the largest for the case of low temperature and low flow rate. Calibration of K-factor and the interpolation of the calibration data also had large influence, especially for the case of very low temperature. Reference temperature, at which the reference viscosity of the sample fuel was measured, had relatively small contribution, but it became larger when the operating fuel temperature was far from reference temperature. Measurement of reference density had small contribution on the flow rate uncertainty. Fuel pressure and atmospheric pressure measurement had virtually no contribution on the flow rate uncertainty.

A genetic algorithm (GA) has been employed to optimize the major design variables of the liquid rocket engine. Mass flow rate to the main thrust chamber, mass flow rate to the gas generator and chamber pressure have been selected as design variables. The target engine is the open gas generator cycle using the LO2/RP-1 propellant. The objective function of design optimization is to maximize the specific impulse with condition of energy balance between the pump and the turbine. The properties of the combustion chamber have been obtained from CEA2. Pump & turbine efficiencies and properties of the gas generator have been modeled mathematically from reference data. The result shows 3~4% errors for the specific impulse and 2~6% errors for the pump power of the gas generator cycle compared to references.
