In generally, the regression rate equation was only expressed by function of oxidizer massflux in hybrid propulsion system. This can not represent the local value of regression rate along with oxidizer flow direction. In this study, experimental studies were performed with several pieces of solid fuel. As results, the local regression rate decreases rapidly with axial location near entrance, and increases with axial distance from the leading edge. The empirical formula for local regression rate with function of oxidizer massflux and length was derived.

130mm D.B. 추진기관의 고온 시험에서 나타난 극심한 이상 연소 현상을 해결하기 위해 미세한 고체 입자들을 연소 가스에 분산시켜 불안정 연소를 억제하는 particulate damping 효과를 연구하였다. 고체 입자로서 효과적인 것으로 알려진 $K_2$$SO_4$. ZrC, Graphite를 CTPB, HTPB 고분자 물질에 충진시켜 epoxide, isocyanate 반응기와 가교 반응을 일으킴으로써 고무상의 탄성체 성질을 갖게 하는 $K_2$$SO_4$/CTPB, ZrC/Graphite/HTPB, ZrC/Graphite/AP/HTPB, ZrC/AP/HTPB 조성의 연소 안정제를 개발하였다. 이 연소 안정제는 외경 17mm, 길이 1000mm의 안정봉 형태로 제작하여 모타의 중심 cavity에 조립한 후 지상 연소 시험을 통하여 성능을 확인하였다. 시험 결과, 조성에 AP를 포함시켜 연소 안정제에 일정한 연소 속도를 부여하여 추진제 grain 연소 동안 고체 입자를 연소 가스에 분산되게 설계한 ZrC/Graphite/AP/HTPB, ZrC/AP/HTPB 조성의 연소 안정제가 불안정 연소 억제에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Test equipment was designed and manufactured to evaluate thermal reaction characteristic of internal insulators of solid rocket motor. Test is allowed up to chamber pressure 2,500 psi, burn-time 40 s. It is possible to observe and to compare thermal reaction characteristic for a few materials simultaneously, under the condition that the ablation occurs. In efficient average chamber pressure 878 psi, efficient burn-time 10.7 s and gas velocity 100 m/s, test was executed for confirming safety of equipment, being 4 test materials inserted simultaneously. Basic data for understanding thermal characteristic of internal insulator, that is, pressure-time curve, temperature-time curve in the test sample, and thermal destruction depth of test samples was gained successfully.

In this research, the modeling of erosive burning and analysis of effective parameters were carried out for the application of fluid-structure integration analysis. The manufacture, test, and analysis of erosive burning motors were carried out to estimate the erosive burning applying Lenoir & Robillard model considering effective parameters. The erosive burning phenomenon was detected from experimental results. Erosive burning model and its effective parameters were evaluated and analyzed considering existence of aluminum in propellant, relationship among erosive burning coefficients according to characteristic length, effect of grain initial temperature. The erosive burning model was applied to the fluid-structure integration analysis, and the estimated results were close to the experimental results.

To estimate the surface temperature for the hybrid solid fuels correctly is very important for the modelling of the hybrid combustion. Because it is used for the calculation of regression rate. In this study, The measurement of the surface temperature were performed with the solid fuels inserted the thermocouple. Its variation was investigated in the range of mass flux for an oxidizer.

In this study, combustion tests using liquefying fuels with fast regression rate were performed. The chamber pressure oscillation was analyzed and hazards of combustion instabilities were examined. In case of Liquefying fuel with fast regression rate, the amplitude of chamber pressure oscillation was increased compared to the polymeric fuels. However, the critical combustion instability can hardly occur in liquefying fuel. This is because the rapid change of inner chamber diameter limits the amplification of chamber pressure oscillation. The chamber pressure oscillation due to the large increase of fuel production and the vortex shedding in pre-chamber violently occurs during combustion using single-port axial injector.

In general, solid propulsion offers cost effective, large thrust capabilities comparing to the liquid propulsion which offers high specific impulse and restart capabilities. Therefore, solid propulsion is well fitted for the first stage and boosters. Building Block Launcher(BBL) approach has been studied for the launch vehicle because of cost effectiveness, limited development time and low risk. Using of the carbon fiber epoxy resin in the solid rocket motor case is expanded, and specially high strength fibers are more attracted since its inert mass reduction.

고체추진제(solid propellant)는 연료와 산화제가 혼합/결합되어 있어 폭발적인 연소반응을 통하여 많은 에너지를 빠른 시간에 방출한다. 많은 에너지가 급격히 변환되는 과정에서 소량의 에너지가 음향에너지(acoustic energy)로 변환되는 것은 피할 수 없다. 이와 같이 원하지 않는 에너지의 변환이 어느 정도 이상을 넘을 때, 연소 불안정(combustion instability) 현상이 발생했다고 한다. 상당히 많은 로켓 모타들이 연소불안정현상으로 인하여 개발기간의 지연과 설계변경 등으로 경제적 손실을 야기하고 있다.

Nozzleless booster is one of the applicable components for integral rocket ramjet (IRR). In order to predict nozzleless solid booster performance, the simplified theoretical analysis was applied for L/D=5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Al-HTPB and Zr-HTPB propellant with a high metal content were used to increase the hardness because of the combustion gas flow effect. It was found that the trends between the simplified theoretical analysis and experiments were similar.
