A system design has been conducted of the liquid rocket engine for Korean launch vehicle (KSLV-II, Korea Space Launch Vehicle II). The present turbopump-fed liquid rocket engine of vacuum thrust 76 ton and vacuum specific impulse 297 sec adopts gas generator cycle. The combustion pressure of the regeneratively cooled combustor is 60 bar. The propellant is LOx/kerosene. The engine is started by pyrostarter and the combustor is ignited by TEA (TriEthylAluminium). The engine system performance and the subsystems performance requirements are given through energy balance analysis. The combustion pressure, specific impulse and the engine mass are analyzed to be reasonable comparing with the published data. The startup analysis method which will be used in the future has been validated against the turbopump-gas generator coupled test. The tuning method for performance variation of the engine which is not actively controled has been prepared by mode analysis and performance deviation analysis.

Micro gas turbine engine is well known as a power plant of unmanned aerial vehicle and a small scale emergency generation system and also, it is significant as initial research of large gas turbine and educational purpose of gas turbine. Many sort of Micro gas turbine test set for education is produced by several manufacturers, but all of the engine control system of them is separated with data acquisition system; moreover, the engine control algorithms are inaccessible and related variables could not be collected. In this investigation, the Integrated Modifiable Test Rig which has modifiable engine start-up, drive and situational control logics is developed by LabVIEW with I/O devices and it provides wide experimental applicability to studies of dynamic characteristics of fuel system and combustion instability.

A liquid-monopropellant hydrazine thruster has several outstanding advantages such as relatively-simple structure, long/stable propellant storability, clean exhaust products, and so on. Therefore hydrazine thruster has such a wide application as orbit and attitude control system (ACS) for space vehicles. A hydrazine thruster with the medium-level thrust to be used in the ACS of space launch vehicles (SLV) has been developed, and its ground firing test result is presented in terms of thrust, impulse bit, temperature, and chamber pressure. It is verified through the performance test that the response and repeatability of thrust are very excellent, and the thrust efficiencies compared to its ideal requirement are larger than 93%.

A TCS slip control system improves acceleration capability and steerability on slippery roads through engine torgue and/or brake torque control. This research mainly deals with the engine control algorithm via the adjustment of the engine throttle angle. The following new control strategy is proposed and investigated ; the TCS slip controller whose input is the difference between the desired driving wheel speed corresponding to the optimum slip ratio and the actual speed yields the target engine torque and then estimates the throttle angle based on the engine performance curve. Various simulation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation have been carried out. The results show the proposed strategy may compensate for the inherent nonlinearity between variation of the throttle angle and variation of the engine torque and produce better performance than the previous strategies without the engine map, especially in the high speed region.

센서는 자연현상을 감지하는 소자로 계측 및 제어시스템의 구성요소로 이용되며, 센서를 이용 하여 Closed-loop System의 구성을 가능케 하며, 지능화된 시스템을 구현 할 수 있다. 센서는 압력, 유량, 온도, 자장, 광 등을 측정하는 물리적 센서, pH, 이온, 산소 등의 구성물을 감지하는 화학센서, 인체의 혈당량, 뇌의 상태, 냄새 등을 측정하는 바이오 센서로 대별될 수 있다. 이중 물리적 센서는 기계적 시스템에 많이 이용되며, 특히 압력, 유량센서는 자동차에 있어서 엔진의 Manifold, 엔진오일, 브레이크 오일, 타이어, 연료 등의 상태를 측정하는데 사용되고 있다. 예를 들어 1980년대에는 미국 Ford와 Motorola사가 공동으로 반도체공정 기술을 이용한 용량 형(capacitive) 압력센서를 개발하여 엔진의 컨트롤시스템에 이용하였다. 이러한 압력센서는 1988년에 15억불의 매출을 기록하였으며, 1955년에는 30억불로 늘어날 전망으로 있어 가장 많이 사용되는 센서로 각광을 받고 있다. 이글에서 압력센서의 원리 및 종류에 대하여 알아보고, 마 이크로머시닝 기술 등의 제작방법과 이의 응용에 대하여 논의하려 한다.

In this study, an automatic idle stop control system was developed, which automatically stops the idle state engine as it detects the stop state of the car for several seconds and restarts the stopped engine with the driver's electrical signal. It is composed of microprocessor and the related electronic circuits and communicates with ECU and TCU. With accurate and confirmed operating performance, the control system was equipped in the test car which was proceeded the ECE15+EUDC mode test. It is confirmed that the control system, ASG has much favourable effects on reducing the fuel consumption and harmful exhaust emissions.

This paper proposes the design and performance evaluation of a marine engine fault detection system using a proximity sensor for marine engine. Non-linearity is greatly reduced by using the sensor without increasing the response time by applying the CANopen protocol. The CANopen protocol enables the sensor to send initial values and measurement data. The marine engine fault detection system measures crankshaft deflection and the bottom dead center of the crosshead in real-time, which maintains stability and prevents the serious breakdown of the marine engine by use of an interlocking alarm monitoring system.

A propulsion system of a satellite provides a necessary thrust to reach to the final orbit after a separation from a launch vehicle. Also, it supplies pulse moments to maintain the satellite in a mission orbit and for its attitude controls during a mission life time. The present study investigates the development trend of bipropellant rocket engines for an orbit transfer and an attitude control of a satellite using monomethylhydrazine and hydrazine for fuel and dinitrogen tetroxide for oxidizer to derive fundamental specifications which are necessary for domestic development researches. Also, their major performance characteristics are summarized.
