Cooling characteristics are investigated numerically in the chamber for high-performance burnout of wastes with solid phase. Before the combustion chamber is manufactured, combustion analysis is performed for evaluation of burning rate and cooling performance. A water cooling method is applied and its feasibility for cooling is examined depending on coolant flow rate. Another method of complex cooling is adopted by combining air film cooling with water cooling, leading to improved cooling performance.

In this study, cooling characteristics of combustion gas were investigated by injecting liquid nitrogen into liquid rocket combustion chamber. A injection ring of liquid nitrogen was installed between a combustion chamber and a mixing chamber which was designed for mixing of combustion gas and nitrogen. At first, a ignition test of liquid rocket engine was conducted to verify a stable combustion process and 10 second combustion tests were successfully conducted. The results showed that combustion gas of LRE could be cooled by using liquid nitrogen.

To protect combustion chamber from high temperature combustion gas, regenerative cooling is used for most liquid rocket engine. Although regenerative cooling is the most effective way to protect the chamber from high heat flux, realization of this system requires detail analysis, manufacturing technique and high cost. To demonstrate the possibility of applying regenerative cooling to a real rocket engine, the hot fire test has been carried out for the sub-scale liquid rocket with the water cooling system. The main purpose of the test is to identify the problem area of design, safety and cost effective manufacturing technique. The coolant passage was 3 mm in width and wall thickness was 1 mm with stainless steel. Maximum combustion time and pressure were 60 seconds and 400 psi, respectively. The flow rate of coolant was reduced gradually from 2 kg/s to 0.12 kg/s throughout firing test, combustion chamber was visually examined and no dwfect was observed.

A linear acoustic analysis for baffled rocket combustion chambers has been developed. This study provides the comprehensive theoretical background for the baffle as one of the stabilizing devices in a liquid rocket propulsion system. Several specific effects of baffles are presented as mechanisms by which baffles eliminate instability. Included are longitudinalization of transverse waves inside baffle compartments, severe restriction of velocity fluctuations near the injector face, and decreased normal mode frequency of the chamber.

압축가스를 이용하여 추진제를 액체 로켓 엔진에 공급하는 경우, 공급압력은 정상 연소상태의 연소압을 기준으로 하여 설계한다. 그러나 연소초기의 연소실 압력은 대기압 상태이므로 과도한 유량이 공급되어 이로 인해 hard-start 가 발생하며, 최악의 경우 엔진의 파손을 가져온다.

연소불안정은 로켓엔진 연소실 내에서의 연소와 유동특성들이 커플링되어 발생한다. 이와 같은 커플링을 통하여 연소로부터 맥동에너지가 공급되며, 되먹임과정 및 소산에 의한 맥동에너지양의 변화에 따라 맥동은 증폭, 유지되거나 소멸된다. 액체추진제 로켓엔진에서 고주파 연소불안정을 특징짓는 이와 같은 맥동발생 매카니즘의 해석은 용이하지 않으며 적절한 모델링을 필요로 한다. 연소불안정의 해석은 연소실 설계에서 고려되어야 할 안정성 여유를 한정하며, 설계된 사양 및 작동조건에서의 안정성 여부를 확인하는 수단으로 사용된다. 연소불안정 해석방법들은 전통적인 음향 n, $\tau$로 대표되는 frequency-domain 방법을 비롯하여, Fourier time expansion, time-domain 방법 등으로 구분되며, 연소실의 단순 및 적극설계과정에 사용된다[1].

In this paper, the combustion instabilities which may occur in the hybrid rocket were studied. The rocket combustor where the vortexes can be generated was designed, and the experiments were performed. The investigations about characteristics on the presence of the diaphragm, the length of the fuel, the diameter of the fuel port, the diameter of the diaphragm, the diameter of the nozzle throat, and the variation of the Ox massflow rate were conducted. The main resonant frequency of the combustion pressure is regarded by the Vortex shedding mode, and it is considered that the other resonant frequency of the pressure fluctuation is hybrid low frequency, or helmholtz mode.

점화천이(Ignition transient)는 일반적으로 점화 신호를 주는 순간부터 로켓모타가 평형상태(equilibrium) 혹은 설계 작동조건에 도달했을 때까지의 시간 구간으로 정의되며, 이 시간 동안에 높은 연소실 압력 증가율에 의한 동연소효과(dynamic burning effect)와 연소가스의 높은 cross-flow 속도에 의한 침식연소효과(erosive burning effect)에 의해 추진제의 연소증가 현상을 일으킨다. 이런 두가지의 증가된 연소효과와 더불어 과대하게 설계된 점화기로부터 유입되는 질량유량에 의해 연소실을 채우는 시간(Chamber filling) 중에 압력 과잉(pressure overshoot)이 나타난다 그러나 동연소효과 및 침식연소효과의 경우 추진제의 종류와 로켓모타의 형상 등에 의해서 복합적으로 나타나는 현상이기 때문에 모든 로켓모타에 대해서 공통으로 적용할 수식이나 방정식이 존재하지 않는다.

In this study, the cooling characteristics of combustion gas were investigated by injecting liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) into a liquid rocket combustion chamber, which uses liquid oxygen (Lox) and kerosene as propellants. $LN_2$ injectors and an extended chamber for mixing were installed at the end of the ordinary LRE combustion chamber, and a nozzle was installed after the chamber for mixing. First, an ignition test of the liquid rocket engine was conducted to verify the stable combustion process. Next, a hot firing test was performed step-by-step for safety. Finally, the test was performed for 20 s. The results showed that the combustion gas of the LRE could be successfully cooled by using $LN_2$.
