The main objective of this study was investigation of natural gas flames in a lean premixed swirl-stabilized dump combustor with an attention focused on the effect of the various fuel-air mixing section geometry on the combustion instability characteristics. The multi-channel dynamic pressure transducers were located on the combustor and inlet mixing section region to observe combustion pressure oscillation and difference phase at each dynamic pressure measurement results. Dynamic pressures were also measured to investigate characteristics of combustion at the same time. The combustor and mixing section length was varied in order to have different acoustic resonance characteristics from 800 to 1800 mm in combustor and 470, 550, 870 mm in mixing section. We observed two dominant instability frequencies in this study. Lower frequencies were obtained at lower equivalence ratio region and it was associated with a fundamental longitudinal mode of combustor length. Higher frequencies were observed in higher equivalence ratio conditions. It was related to secondary longitudinal mode of coupled with the combustor and mixing section. In this instability characteristics, pressure oscillation of mixing section part was larger than pressure oscillation of combustor. As a result, combustion instability was strongly affected by acoustic characteristics of combustor and mixing section geometry.

The Performance of micro combustor in various condition was exploited experimentally. Various geometric conditions of combustor were considered to figure out the performance of micro combustor. The micro combustor studied in this study was constant volume with cylindrical shape. Geometric parameters of combustor were defined to be combustor height and diameter. The effect of height was exploited parametrically with the size of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm. The effect of diameter was observed parameterized with 7.5mm and 15mm. Three different combustibles or Stoichiometric mixture of methane/air, hydrogen/air were used. Pressure transition during combustion process was recorded. The maximum pressure by combustion responded favorably with the change of height of combustor and the initial pressure. The flame propagation was visulized using Schlieren method. The flame propagation within combustor was observed when specific conditions such as combustor height and initial pressure over critical value was satisfied.

통상적으로 액체로켓의 노즐은 재생냉각에 의해 고온의 연소가스로부터 보호된다. 그러나 재생냉각의 경우, 시스템에 상당한 투자가 요구되며, 잦은 엔진 결함의 원인을 제공하기도 한다. 최근 들어 액체로켓에 재생냉각을 사용하지 않고, 연소실과 노즐 보호를 위해 삭마재료가 사용되고 있다. 노즐재료에 대한 삭마량과 삭마형상 연구를 위해 500회 이상의 연소실험이 수행되었다. 그러나 연소실험을 통한 삭마특성은 전혀 예측할 수 없는 방향으로 진행되고 있으며, 실험에 사용된 액체로켓의 작동범위가 실제 로켓과 거의 유사하다는 것을 감안한다면, 삭마재질을 로켓에 적용하기 위해서는 상당한 주의가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 실험변수는 추진제의 공급 순서, 인젝터의 형상, 점화기의 위치, 그리고 액체산소의 공급온도이다.

An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of shock waves on the supersonic hydrogen-air jet flames stabilized in the Mach 2.5 model scramjet combustor. This experiment was the first reacting flow experiment interacting with shock waves. Two identical $10^{\cire}$ wedges were mounted on the diverging sidewalls of the combustor in order to produce oblique shock waves that interacted with the flame. Schlieren visualization pictures, wall static pressures, and combustion efficiency at two different air stagnation temperatures were measured and compared to corresponding flames without shock wave-flame interaction. It was observed that shock waves significantly altered the shape of supersonic jet flames, but had different effects on combustion efficiency depending on air temperatures. At the higher air stagnation temperature and higher fuel flow rates, combustion of efficiency showed a better result.

Swirl injectors have the advantage of stable combustion, high efficiency, and insensibility to variable O/F ratio. Recess length is the length from outer orifice tip to inner orifice tip. It is the very important variable of performance of swirl type injector Recess length have influence on collision, mixing, spray, and combustion of propellants. This study investigated on the engine performance with the change of recess length through CFD, cold flow test, and combustion test. In result, we could confirm the change of engine performance with the change of recess length. And we found that performance forecast process through CFD, cold flow test is the right process through combustion test.

In order to understand mixing characteristics of the APU combustor, sector combustor which size is 1/6 of the real combustor was manufactured. To see the inner side of combustor, Poly Carbonate material is used as a combustor riner. Turbo blower is used as a air supplying device and valves are used as controling the air flow. Maximum flow rate of the blower is 7 $m^3$/min and maximum inlet velocity is up to 100 m/s.

고체연료의 연료특성을 완전히 파악하기는 어렵다. 하지만 기존의 알고있는 자료를 이용해서 고체연료의 연소특성을 예측할 수 있을 것이다. 그래서, 이미 어느 정도 알려져 있는 미분탄의 연소특성을 이용하여 폐기물의 연소특성을 예측하기 위해서 새로운 열중량 분석장치를 개발하게 되었으며, 여기에서는 그 개발절차 및 기초실험 결과를 실었다. 기초실험 결과 미소질량일 경우와 약간의 차이가 발견되었다. 그러나 그 개형은 기존의 자료들과 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 보여진다.
