액체로켓에 대한 연구에서 가장 중요한 분야 중의 하나는 인젝터에 관한 것이다. 인젝터는 적정량의 산화제와 연료를 미립화 및 혼합시켜 연소실로 공급하는 것으로서, 액체로켓의 안정적 연소와 성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 기존의 F-O-F형 injector의 경우 산화제 오리피스가 연료쪽에 비해 면적이 크기 때문에 미립화 및 혼합이 좋지 못하다. 본 연구에 사용된 injector는 F-O-F형 injector의 산화제 오리피스 면적과 동일하게 두 개의 오리피스로 만들어 줌으로써 연료 오리피스와의 면적비를 적정수준으로 유지할 수 있다. 이는 동일한 조건하에서 Doublet injector나 Triplet injector의 경우 커지는 산화제의 오리피스를 제한시켜 주는 장점이 된다. 결과적으로 이러한 장점은 기존의 Doublet injector나 Triplet injector보다 높은 연소효율을 보이게 된다.

Hydraulic dual chamber, as the simulator for a dual pulse rocket motor, was tested by a high pressure device with various orifice-hole size being applied. Pressure difference occurs between 1st chamber and 2nd chamber depending on area ratio of the orifice to nozzle throat. Studying a design configuration of the orifice is essential to the motor development because pressure difference severely affects the rocket motor performance. It is noticed in this study that energy dissipation is caused by the vortex flow originating from the orifice as the 2nd chamber is operated. The flow field is simulated by a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT V14.5.

The process of energy separation in a low pressure vortex tube with compressed air as a working medium is studied in detail. Experimental data of the temperature of the cold and hot air leaving the vortex tube are presented. The variation of the maximum wall temperature along the inner surface of a vortex tube and the temperature distribution in a vortex tube provide useful information about the location of the stagnation point of the flow field at the axis of the vortex tube Analysis of the results enabled to find the optimum ratio of nozzle area and the optimum shape of an orifice. From this optimum geometric setup of a low pressure and big vortex tube the effectiveness of energy separation was better than a high pressure and small vortex tube.

A multi-perforated tube is generally installed between the muffler inlet and in front of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts in the integrated urea-SCR muffler system in order to disperse the urea-water solution spray uniformly and to make better use of the SCR catalyst, which would result in an increase nitrogen oxide ($NO_x$) reduction efficiency and a decrease in the ammonia slip. The effects of the multi-perforated tube orifice area ratios on the internal flow characteristics were investigated analytically by using a general-purpose commercial software package. From the results, it was clarified that the multi-perforated tube geometry sensitively affected the generation of the bulk swirling motion inside the plenum chamber set in front of the SCR catalyst and to the uniformity index of the velocity distribution produced at the inlet of the catalyst. To verify the analytical results, engine tests were carried out in the ESC and ETC modes. Results of these tests indicated that the larger flow model in the longitudinal direction showed the highest NOx reduction efficiency, which was a good agreement with the analytical results.

Acoustic cavity as a stabilization device to control high-frequency combustion instabilities in liquid rocket engine is adopted and its damping capacity is verified in atmospheric temperature. Geometric effects of acoustic cavity on damping characteristics are analyzed and compared quantitatively. Satisfactory agreements have been achieved with linear acoustic analysis and experimental approach. Results show that the acoustic cavity of the largest orifice area or the shortest orifice length was the most effective in acoustic damping of the harmful resonant frequency finally, it is proved that an optimal design process is indispensable for the effective control of combustion instabilities.

Flow rate is one of the important variables for precise motion control and detection of the faults and fluid loss in many hydraulic components and systems. But in many cases, it is not easy to measure it directly. The orifice area of a servo valve by which the fluid flows is one of key factors to monitor the flow rate. In this paper, we have constructed an estimation algorithm for the effective orifice area by using the model of a servo valve cylinder control system and Kalman filter algorithm. Without geometry information about the servo valve, it is shown that the effective orifice area can be estimated by using only displacement and pressure data corrupted with noise. And the effect of the biased sensor data and system parameter errors on the estimation results are discussed. The paper reveals that sensor calibration is important in accurate estimation and plausible parameter data such as oil bulk modulus and actuator volume are acceptable for the estimation without any error. The estimation algorithm can be used as an useful tool for detecting leakage, monitoring malfunction and/or degradation of the system performance.

A multi-perforated tube indicates the existence of multiple holes of various shapes on the surface of a long cylinder-type or rectangular tube, and a hole installed on the surface is called an orifice, as it is relatively small in size, compared with the surface area of the tube. In this study, the flow characteristics of a circular multi-perforated tube with many orifices on the surface were investigated experimentally and numerically. The volume flowrate issuing from each orifice, discharge angle, effective flow area ratio, and the flow fields around the orifices were measured and visualized, with the variation of the orifice area ratio, at the same blockage ratio. The volume flowrate distributions along the flow direction of the multi-perforated tube tends to be more uniform, as larger orifices were positioned at the inlet side of the multi-perforated tube, compared with no orifice area change along the flow direction.

It is very important to understand about mass flow rate variations of propellants generated by pressure fluctuation in the combustion chamber. Therefore, we have studied quantifying the variation of mass flow rate generated by pressure fluctuation. The flow velocity in orifice is acquired through theoretical approach after measuring the pressure in orifice and the flow area in orifice is measured by film thickness measuring device. Our results agreed with it in the very small error range comparing our results with velocity and mass flow rate in steady state. Thus, our result based on theoretical approach will help about measuring mass flow rate in non-steady state.

도시 지역 개발후 하류지역에 유출량의 증가로 인해, 첨두유량의 완화는 도시 호우 관리에서 가장 중요한 고려 대상중의 하나이다. 일반적으로 설계기준의 호우에 대해서 개발지역의 첨두유량이 개발전의 첨두유량을 넘지 않도록 설계한다. 유수지는 오리피스와 위어를 이용하여 높은첨두율을 개발전의 첨두유량으로 조절하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 비싼 토지비용 때문에 한국에서 도시지역의 유수지 사용은 그렇게 일반적이지 않다. 따라서, 많은 도시 지역이 개발로 인한 유량의 증가를 겪고 있다. 이 연구에서는 새로 개발된 한국의 울산 화봉지역의 11 ha 소유역에서 첨두유량을 조절하기 위하여 어떻게 유수지와 오리피스와 위어를 설계하는지 조사하였다. 이 지역은 새로 개발된 한국의 도시지역을 보여주는 전형적인 지역으로 고려됐으며, 유수지는 2년 빈도, 10년 빈도 그리고 100년 빈도의 설계 강우에 대한 첨두유량을 조절할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 설계 유수지 모의를 위하여 Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)의 윈도우 최신 버전인 5.006a를 사용하였다. 이 연구에서는 얼마만큼의 유수지 면적이 다목적으로 사용될 수 있는지 제시하려 하였다.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the mixed flow behaviors and oxygen transfer characteristics of a vertical orifice ejector. The experimental apparatus consisted of an electric motor-pump, an orifice ejector, a circulation water tank, an air compressor, a high speed camera unit and control or measurement accessories. The mass ratio was calculated using the measured primary flow rate and suction air flow rate with experimental parameters. The visualization images of vertically injected mixed jet issuing from the orifice ejector were qualitatively analyzed. The volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient was calculated using the measured dissolved oxygen concentration. At a constant primary flow rate, the mass ratio and oxygen transfer coefficient increase with the air pressure of compressor. At a constant air pressure of the compressor, the mass ratio decreases and the oxygen transfer coefficient increases as the primary flow rate increases. The residence time and dispersion of fine air bubbles and the penetration of mixed flow were found to be important parameters for the oxygen transfer rate owing to the contact area and time of two phases.
