For stable combustion and safety of a structure of the propulsion system, a cooling system to the liquid rocket engine should be incorporated. In this study, Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme for two phase combustion, nongray radiation and soot formation effect, and film-wall interaction have been introduced to study the effect of film cooling. After briefly introducing the governing equation, combustion characteristics with change of wall temperature has been investigated by varying such parameters as fuel mass fraction for film cooling, diameter of the fuel droplet, overall mixture fraction of oxygen to fuel. Also, radiative heat flux is compared with the conductive one at the combustor wall.

선박에서 주로 채택되는 열교환기는 쉘튜브형과 판형열교환기로 분류된다. 이 연구에서는 소형쉘튜브형 열교환기의 설계에서 중요한 요소인 냉각튜브와 벽면과의 간격에 따른 유동특성을 입자영상유속계를 이용하여 계측하였다. 연구 결과 벽면과의 거리변화에 따른 임계간격비는 0.25전후로 추정되었으며 벽면효과에 따른 정량적 데이터를 확보하였다.

This paper presents the numerical thermal analysis for regeneratively cooled rocket thrust chambers. An integrated numerical model incorporates computational fluid dynamics for the hot-gas thermal environment, and thermal analysis for the liner and coolant channels. The flow and temperature fields in rocket thrust chambers is assumed to be axisymmetric steady state which is presumed to the combustion liner. The heat flux computed from nozzle flow is used to predict the temperature distribution of the combustion liner As a result, we present the wall temperature of combustion liner and the temperature change of coolant.

충돌/유출냉각은 연소실 벽면 등과 같이 열부하가 많이 걸리는 영역에서 고온의 연소가스로부터 표면을 보호하는 막냉각과 더불어 내부에 다공성 판을 설치하여 충돌제트에 의해 내부표면을 냉각시켜 가스터빈엔진의 고온요소의 냉각성능을 극대화시키는 방법 중의 하나이다. 이와 같은 냉각방법을 적용하면 벽면을 충돌제트에 의한 냉각과 함께 냉각유채를 막냉각에 활용함으로써 냉각효율을 극대화할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국소적인 값들을 획득하기 용이한 물질전달실험방법의 하나인 나프탈렌 승화법을 이용하여 수직으로 분사되는 충돌제트에 의한 유출판 내면에서의 열/물질전달특성을 분사판(injection plate)과 유출판(effusion plate) 사이의 높이, 분사제트의 속도, 분사홀간의 배열을 변화시켜가며 유출판만이 있는 경우와 비교, 분석하였다. 분사홀과 유출홀의 관 사이의 간격은 0.33d에서 10d까지 변화시켜가며 그 효과를 관찰하였으며, 홀배열 효과를 보기 위하여 2가지 홀배열(staggered array, shifted array)에 대하여 실험하였다. 또한 분사제트의 속도효과를 고찰하기 위하여 분사제트의 Rc$_{d}$=5,000-12,000까지 변화시켜가며 실험을 수행하였다.

액체로켓엔진의 연소기는 고온고압의 연소가스에 의해 벽면온도가 매우 높은 수준에 도달하기 때문에, 연소기가 열적으로 안정적으로 작동할 수 있는 메카니즘이 필요하게 되며, 따라서 이러한 방식의 하나로서 추진제를 이용한 재생냉각방식이 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 재생냉각형 연소기의 내벽은 열전도도가 우수한 구리 또는 구리합금 계열이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 내벽 재질의 내구성은 주로 creep rupture, low cycle thermal fatigue, thermal-mechanical ratcheting에 의해 결정되는데, 사각형태의 냉각채널의 연소기에서는 thermal-mechanical ratcheting 특성이 수명 결정 주요 인자이다. Thermal-mechanical ratcheting은 그림 1과 같이 연소가스 영역과 냉각제 영역을 분리하는 벽면에서 국부적인 부풀음이 일어나면서 벽면두께가 감소하는 소성변형 형태로 나타나는데, 이러한 것을 Dog- house 형상이라 한다.

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.

Film cooling technique has been applied to effectively reduce thermal load on liquid rocket combustion chambers by direct injection of a portion of propellant, which flows through the regeneratively cooling channels, into the chamber wall. This study developed a comprehensive model to quantitatively predict the effects of kerosene film cooling on propulsive performance and wall cooling at supercritical pressure conditions, and assessed the predictive capability against hot-firing tests of an actual combustor. The present model is expected to be utilized as a design and analysis tool to meet the conflicting requirements in terms of performance, cooling, pressure loss and weight.

Water cooling ducts are installed in the exhaust diffuser for high altitude tests of rocket engine to protect diffuser from high-temperature combustion gas. The mass flow rate and pressure of cooling water is designed to prevent boiling of cooling water in the ducts. Therefore, the estimation of maximum temperature of duct wall is important parameter in design of cooling system, especially pressure of cooling water. The method for predicting maximum temperatures of duct walls with variation of coolant flow rates was derived theoretically.

In this study, the effect of injection nozzle shape on the supersonic film cooling performance is analyzed using CFD. The design parameters are inside and outside angles of upper plate of nozzle and nozzle tip thickness. It is observed that the mass flow rate of film cooling decreases with increase of inside angle, while the effect of the change of mass flow rate on the film cooling effectiveness is relatively small. In addition, cooling performance is generally reduced, except ahead of the local region where shock wave interaction with film cooling occurs, in accordance with the growth of the outside angle and tip thickness. In this paper, the CFD simulation is performed using a commercial software, ANSYS Fluent V15.0, and the CFD model is validated by comparing it with the experimental data shown in preceding research.

In the regeneratively cooled combustion chambers of liquid rocket engine using hydrocarbon fuels, coking occurs as the wall temperature increases which results in compounds deposition on the wall of cooling channels. This phenomenon reduces cooling capability of the coolant which finally causes damage to the combustor by overheating of the chamber wall. In this paper, experiment results using an electrical heating equipment to simulate the regeneratively cooled channel are introduced and based on the results the compatibility of copper alloy with hydrocarbon fuel Jet A-1 is investigated.
