A numerical method for prediction of the Windmilling start performance of micro-turbojet engine has been developed. The method incorporates the available loss correlations and analyses for the estimation of the performance of the major engine components. It has been applied to the micro turbojet engine with the mixed type compressor. The starting performance characteristics on the on/off-design regions have been analysed. Additionally, the sensitivity of each design parameter which has an effect on Windmilling start performance has been analysed.

우주추진기관의 모든 부품은 생산 시 규정된 절차를 거쳐서 작동의 이상유무를 확인하는 시험을 거친다. 우주추진기관은 특별한 경우를 제외하고는 실 비행 상태에서 시험하기가 어렵거나 불편하기 때문에 지상에서 시험을 수행하여 성능 및 안정성 등을 확인하게 된다. 지상연소시험을 수행하기 위해서는 비행용 엔진을 대상으로 엔진 메니폴드에 비행 시와 같은 조건의 추진제가 공급될 수 있게 해줘야 한다. 기존에 시험장이 이미 구축되어 있는 경우 엔진의 운용조건에 맞추어 엔진에 맞게 엔진과 시험설비 연결부분이 수정되게 된다.(중략)

초음속 비행체 및 극음속 성층권 비행체용 추진기관으로의 사용이 검토되고 있는 차세대 추진기관들을 산화제 공급방식에 따라 공기흡입 엔진, 로켓 엔진 및 복합사이클 엔진으로 분류하여 엔진의 구성방식 및 추진특성들을 기술하였다. 공기흡입 엔진은 저고도에서의 성능이 우수하고 재사용이 가능 하지만 공기 밀도가 낮은 고 고도 영역에서의 성능이 좋지 않으며 로켓 엔진은 넓은 고도영역에서 사용이 가능한 반면 낮은 비추력 및 고비용 발사체계 등과 같은 단점들을 가지고 있다.(중략)

In the preceding tests using the KSR-III Sub.(I) engines, it was observed that the heat resistant capability of the engines was not enough for the mission. So Sub.(I) Mod. engines were designed and tested. The Sub.(I) Mod. engines have three major design parameters - the arrangement of main injectors, the impinging angle of main injectors and thermal barrier coating. More than twenty experiments were carried on to evaluate engine performance and heat resistance capability with respect to design parameters. In this study, the test results are introduced. Analysing the result of Sub.(I) engine tests, it is found that decreasing the impinging angle, adopting the H-type arrangement(rather than radial type arrangement) and adopting the thermal barrier coating can increase heat resistance capacity substantially. Also, engine performance evaluation is conducted using specific impulse and characteristic velocity parameter. The results show that the performance variation is small(about 5%) and the performance is better in the case of radial arrangement. It is suspected that these phenomena are caused by the change of flame structure atomization mixing characteristic of sprays and the distortion of recirculation zone. Also from the low frequency instability point of view, it is observed that reducing the impinging angle and adopting the H type arrangement can increase the instability characteristics.

소형엔진의 성능을 결정하는 흡기시스템 중 흡기포트는 매우 중요한 설계인자이다. 본 연구는 흡기포트에 대한 성능실험 및 CFD(Computaional Fluid Dynamics) 해석을 통하여 흡기 성능을 파악하고, 이러한 일련의 실험과정을 학습하여 제품의 성능 평가 절차를 정립하고 성능을 개선하는데 그 목적이 있다. 흡기 성능평가를 위해 리그를 구성하여 실험과 해석을 진행하였으며 이를 통하여 공기유량계수 값을 획득하였다. 공기유량계수 값은 밸브 리프트 변화에 따른 표준 밸브리프트로 환산한 값을 사용하였다. 실험적 연구를 통하여 기존 소형엔진 흡기 포트의 평가에 대한 기준을 제시하였고, 이는 소형엔진 흡기포트 설계 후 성능 평가를 위한 중요한 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Performance of a dual mode ramjet engine based on the sensitivity analysis of design parameters (the gap between cowl and inlet spike and combustor length) was analyzed from the view points of aerodynamics and thermodynamics. A dual mode engine performing from supersonic to hypersonic (Mach no. 2 to 6) was designed in a proposed flight envelop. The design method and result were comparable to the results of the previous study, Hyperion RLV, and the CFD calculation.

Using liquefied natural gas as a fuel, water, natural gas and liquefied natural gas-cooled firing tests were conducted. With the viewpoint of characteristic velocity, and specific impulse, the effect of OF mixture ratio and fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber were analyzed. OF mixture ratio and fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber have great influence on the performance. Characteristic velocity and theoretical specific impulse attain the maximum value at 0.72~0.75 and 0.75 of OF mixture ratio, respectively. Engine performance has a tendency to increase, proportional to fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber affected by the regenerative cooling.

One dimensional simulation model of an EFI small engine has been developed based on the commercial small engine. Newly developed simulation model has been evaluated comparing with the experimental results to check the validity. Simulation result shows very good agreement having margin of error of 3 percentage compared with experimental torque and power values. Also, to improve the small engine performance, the influence of the intake valve timing and duration on the engine performance has been analyzed using the simulation model.

Test stand for altitude engine test of reciprocating engine was designed, manufactured and validated by preliminary test and simple calculation. These test stand designed to interface with Altitude turbo-shaft engine test facility of Korea Aerospace Research Institute. Many limiting condition for altitude test of reciprocating engine are assumed and test stand was developed to satisfy those limits. Test stand design specially focused on a altitude, Mach number and fuel temperature control for reciprocating engine altitude test with smaller air and fuel flow than turbo-shaft engine.

In the preceding tests of Sub.(Ⅰ) engines, it was observed that the heat resistant capability of the engines was not enough, and the design of Sub.(Ⅰ) engines was modified to satisfy the mission requirement. Sub.(Ⅰ) Mod. engines have three major design parameters - the arrangement of main injectors, the impinging angle of main injectors and thermal barrier coating. More than 20 experiments were carried out to evaluate engine performance and heat resistance capability with respect to design parameters. Analysing the result of Sub.(Ⅰ) and Sub.(Ⅰ) Mod. engine tests, it is found that the decreased impinging angle, adopting the H-type arrangement(rather than radial type arrangement), and adopting the thermal barrier coating can increase heat resistance capacity substantially. The result show that the performance variation by design change is below 5 percents and the radial type arrangement of injectors has higher performance than H-type. However, the performance of 15°impinging angle engine is higher than that of 20°impinging angle engine, which is inconsistent to our expectation. High frequency instabilities may cause such phenomenon, which will be verified by a series of tests.
