LRE(liquid rocket engine) performance design code with several modules for each engine component has been developed for a preliminary design purpose. Thrust chamber, non-cryogenic centrifugal pump, single stage axial impulse turbine, gas generator and exhaust pipe for extra thrust have been considered. For simplicity, pump exit pressures are fixed, which eliminates pressure balancing problem between thrust chamber and turbopump unit. In this paper, calculated performance parameters with system flow charts and the design methodologies for each component are briefly presented and the results are compared with tile real engine specification.

For a short time a pyre-starter should turn the blades of a turbine to the adequate rotational speed by a single operation. Through this process the pressures of the components of a propellant rise rapidly up to the operating point, and the components enter into a gas-generator. Combustion in the gas-generator occurs to keep the turbopumps working. In this research characteristic parameters of a pyre-starter which correspond to the required performance of the turbopump before the gas-generator starts to work were selected

소, 중형 상업용 항공기나 초등 훈련기용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 터보프롭엔진의 성능해석을 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 대상엔진으로는 국내 최초의 초등훈련기인 KT-1의 추진기관인 PT6A-62엔진을 선정하였고 프로그램의 검증을 위하여 지상정지조건에서의 성능, 고도에 따른 성능 및 비행마하수에 따른 성능, 그리고 고도와 비행마하수를 동시에 고려한 성능 등을 상용 프로그램인 GASTURB 및 제작사에서 제시한 성능데이터와 그 해석결과를 비교하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 비행마하수 0.2, 100% 동력터빈 회전수에서 가스발생기 회전수를 75%에서 105%까지 5% 간격으로 나누어 부분부하 성능해석을 수행하였다. 또한 연료유량의 변화에 대한 천이상태 성능해석도 수행하였다.

The review of the liquid propellant rocket engine is presented. The combustion instabilities which were discovered on solid and liquid propellant rocket engines in 1930, have occurred on propulsion devices, such as gas turbine, ramjet, scramjet and rocket, and thus a study on the combustion instability became necessary. However, this problem has not been solved yet. Therefore, we investigated causes and mechanisms of the combustion instability and surveyed the efforts of solving combustion instability in various countries for developing stable liquid propellant rocket engines.

성능해석 프로그램은 가스터빈 엔진의 개발단계에서는 성능시험의 대체로 개발 비용의 절감과 실제 시험이 어려운 영역의 성능해석을 통해 보다 광범위한 운용 범위의 성능을 파악할 수 있도록 하며 엔진의 운용단계에서는 엔진 상태를 실시간으로 파악하여 엔진 상태에 따른 적절한 정비를 통해 수명 연장과 운용비용 절감의 효과를 가져온다. 이러한 성능해석 프로그램의 중요성은 선진국에서는 이미 70년대부터 부각되어 그 연구가 활발히 진행되어져 왔으며 아날로그 컴퓨터, 하이브리드 컴퓨터, 디지털 컴퓨터 등 다양한 형태로 개발되어 왔다. 최근에는 퍼스날 컴퓨터의 발달로 보다 정밀한 해석이 가능한 프로그램들이 많이 개발되고 있으며 보다 사용자에게 친숙한 GUI(Graphical User Interface) 방식이나 Object-Oriented 방식의 프로그램 개발에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 또한 보다 빠르고 복잡한 성능해석이 가능한 프로그램 개발을 위해 MATLAB, MATRIX-x 등 공학용 소프트웨어를 이용한 프로그램들이 개발되고 있다.

축류 압축기 블레이드(blade)와 베인(vane)이 정하중(static load)에서 충분한 강도를 지니고 있더라도 반복하중이나 교번하중을 받게되면, 그 하중이 작더라도 파괴가 일어날 수 있다. 축류 압축기 블레이드와 베인의 피로파괴(fatigue failure) 현상은 개발 중인 가스터빈엔진 뿐만 아니라 현재 운용중인 엔진에서도 발생할 수 있는 엔진손상의 주요 원인이다. 블레이드나 베인의 동적 안정성 평가는 에어포일(airfoil)의 피로특성과 엔진운용조건에 따라서 발생하는 복잡한 공력가진과의 연관성을 고려하여 수행되어야 하기 때문에, 해석과 구성품 시험을 통하여 우선적으로 강도 평가를 실시하여야 한다.(중략)

This study fulfilled analysis of startup characteristics of Turbo pump unit-Gas generator closed loop test from the viewpoint of simulation. The test results were investigated and the calculated results were compared to test results. The curve for RPM developing predicted by simulation agreed well with test result. The slope of transient combustion pressure of gas generator correspond with test result.

The design and performance test of a low NOx gas turbine combustor to be used in 55kW class micro-gasturbine engine was performed in KARI's combustion test facility. The combustor is reverse flow-can type for easy installation of injector and other parts and LNG is used as fuel. The performance targets are $99.5\%$ combustion efficiency, less 10ppm NOx, $30\%$ patten factor and $4\%$ pressure loss. Most of the performances required are satisfied.

In this work it was studied that the effect on sub-component of engine considering change of engine inlet pressure caused by variable acceleration during flight of launcher. Also the transitional performance was predicted according to variable acceleration. Engine inlet pressure was defined as summation of propellant head in tank, ullage pressure and pressure difference of line, etc. Therefore consumption of propellant and acceleration of launcher led to change of engine inlet pressure, which affected on discharge pressure of pumps. This effect changed mass flow rate of gas generator and main combustor hence it was observed that engine performance was changed definitely.
