Test Facility for hot firing test of small size liquid rocket engine has been developed to research the cooing characteristics of kerosene for cylinder part especially. Propellants for the tests are kerosene and liquid oxygen as fuel and oxidizer respectively and they are fed by gaseous nitrogen. The engine components used hot firing test except for cylinder are cooled by tap-water. Valves for supply of propellants and coolants are controlled by pneumatically. System control and data recording are conducted automatically.

트랜지스터 또는 "트랜지스터 라디오" 배터리라고 부르고 어디에서나 흔히 볼 수 있는 9V PP3 건전지는 일반적으로 작은 크기로 인한 내부위험 또는 소각하여 폐기할 때에 발생하는 폭발 위험 이외의 중대한 위험을 내포하지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 후자의 위험은 모든 다른 배터리에도 적용된다. 그러나 약간 높은 에너지 밀도와 PP3 배터리 단자의 구조는 일부 사례에서 배터리의 낮은 내부 임피던스와 결합하여 단락 물질에 충분한 열을 발생시켜서 그것과 접촉하고 있는 가연물을 손상시키거나 점화시킬 수 있는 단락위험을 발생시킬 수 있다. 이 현상을 증명하기 위해 이 논문은 PP3 건전지의 단락시험에서 기록된 자료와 관찰사항을 기술한 것이다. 이 시험에는 2개 세트의 배터리, 완전 충전된 새 배터리와 완전 방전되지 않은 배터리(이 문서에서 "일부 사용된 배터리"라고 한다)를 사용하였다.

Low pressure combustion characteristics of the composite solid propellants were studied in terms of the propellant burning rate, ignition processes, and the structure of the extinguished surfaces. Optical Vacuum Strand Burner(OVSB) system was designed and configured for this purpose. Burning rates of the propellants were measured at subatmospheric pressure by developed test method in OVSB. The ignition and combustion phenomena of the studied propellants in the combustion chamber of OVSB were recorded and analyzed with the camera and VCR(30 frames/s). Burning surfaces of the propellants were extinguished by rapid depressurization method and analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM).

Fire simulation by using a computational fluid dynamics model and examination of the fires at indoor shooting ranges broken out in the past were conducted, to presume causes of the fire at the indoor shooting range in Busan and suggest fire safety measures. On-site investigations and shooting tests on unburned gunpowder were also carried out. No trace of the muzzle spark and spark at the bullet trap was found in CCTV footage, and the impact of a stray bullet failed to ignite gunpowder. Cigarette was therefore presumed to be the most likely source of ignition among the potential sources. It appeared that the explosion in the shooting area was caused by violent burning of the polyurethane sound absorber and unburned gunpowder accumulated on it. The fire safety measures include prohibit of use of profile polyurethane sound absorber, removal of steel components from bullet trap, clean up and control of unburned gunpowder, etc.

Ignition and combustion performance of a gas-turbine engine were changed by various high-altitude condition. A goal of this study is to make the small test facility to simulate high-altitude condition. To perform the low pressure condition, a diffuser was used in various diffuser front of primary nozzle pressure. To perform the low temperature, heat exchanger was used in various mixture ratio of cryogenic air and ambient temperature air. The experimental result shows that high-altitude conditions can be controled by diffuser front of primary nozzle pressure and mixture ratio of cryogenic air and ambient temperature air.

In this study, 2 kinds of HTPE insensitive propellants composed of HTPE/BuNENA binder, AP, AN and Al were investigated for combustion characteristics, ignition delay time, sensitivity and insensitive properties compared with HTPB propellant. HTPE propellant showed almost same sensitivity results as HTPB propellant, showed 2~3 times higher value than the value of HTPB propellant, ignition delay time respectively, and met the standard criteria, while HTPB propellant failed.

A Test Facility was established to carry out the integrated propulsion performance tests(IPPT). To perform IPPT's with maximum safety, an emergency blockage system was investigated. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressure and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such system, the maximum safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT's be safely completed.

This study fulfilled analysis of startup characteristics of Turbo pump unit-Gas generator open loop test from the viewpoint of simulation. The test results were investigated and the calculated results were compared to test results. The curve for RPM developing predicted by simulation agreed well with test result. The slope of transient combustion pressure of gas generator correspond with test result.

Vitiated air heater which could supply air of 700K and 6 bar was designed conceptually for the firing test on the ground of the air breathing propulsion engines. This vitiated air heater consists of premixer with air and excessive gas oxygen, mixing head, combustor with gas passage, convergent-divergent nozzle and diffuser. the fuel was natural gas and/or liquefied natural gas. Through computational fluid dynamics, each component of the air heater was analyzed and flame-holding after ignition was investigated.
