The present study employs experimental approach to identify combustion stability characteristics of fuel-rich gas generators. The gas generator of interest, fueled by LOx and Jet A-1, experienced combustion instability coupled to a longitudinal resonant mode of the combustion chamber at about 1200 Hz. The occurrence of instability is strongly associated with acoustic boundary condition at the exit .and axial location of maximum heat release. As a result, stretching heat release zone in the axial direction by increase of the fuel nozzle diameter has dramatically stabilized combustion.

We have designed and made three kinds of FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) Acoustic Transducer using Hopper type WDM on the use of recently developed FBG in Korea. The newly designed three kinds of FBG Acoustic Transducer using Hopper type WDM have an excellent merit of practical use with simple structure of sensors arm as well as the merit with existing fiber sensors. It was possible to detect sound waves in the range of 10 Hz to 18 kHz through the newly designed three kinds of FBG Acoustic Transducer and also, possible to detect its signal within the maximum range of 8.6 m by the use of most suitable resonance condition of the transducer. Especially, we can expect the utilization of low-frequency signal detection instead of existing acoustic sensor in the environment of electric noise and inferior condition. Furthermore, they can be developed as the high-sensibility and multi-point signal detection system through the sensor array system.
