Transistor식 점화장치는 자동차의 배기 공해대책, 연료저감대책 등의 방안으로 근래에 급속히 발전된 System이다. Transistor 점화장치로 요구되는 배경은 다음과 같다. [1] 화화출력이 커져서 Engine에 있어서 확실한 연소가 기대되고 배기정화책 연료저감책에 유 효하다. [2] 기계적인 접점이 없으므로 장기적으로 Engine의 성능을 일정하게 유지한다. [3] 저회전에서 고회전까지 높고 안정된 화화출력을 갖고 있기 때문에 시동특성 고속특성이 양 호하다. [4] 점화시기제어에 신기능부가가 용이 이와같은 목표를 달성하기 위하여 세계각국의 자동차 Maker는 각각의 독자적인 System 회로방식을 개발하여 Transistor점화장치를 실용화하고 있 으나 우리나라에서는 아직도 자동차에 기계식 점화장치를 사용하여 생산하고 있는 실정이다.

High altitude ignition test was performed to understand high altitude ignition characteristics of slinger combustor. To verify ignition limits, test was carried out with variation of altitude and fuel nozzle rotational speed using AETF(Altitude Engine Test Facility) in KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute). From the result, the effect of major factors which affect on ignition characteristics was observed. The reduction of ignition limit with increasing altitude and expansion of ignition limit with increasing rotational speed of fuel nozzle was verified. Also minimum rotational speed of fuel nozzle at high altitude must be greater than that of seal level condition.

It was designed and tested ignition that an oxidizer rich preburner for a staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine propelled by kerosene and LOx. Operation conditions of the preburner are about 60 of OF ratio and 20 MPa of combustion pressure. Ignition characteristics were compared by propellants flowrate. As the results, the higher propellants flowrate, the shorter the ignition delay time and the higher ignition stiffness. The ignition delay time was affected by incoming the oxidizer flowrate through the refrigerative cooling channels. The oxidizer flowrate from the cooling channels decreased by inflow of combustion gas during initial ignition. The oxidizer flowrate of the cooling channels increases, it is rapid recovery by cooling effect, eventually the ignition delay time decreases.

Ignition performance tests were performed to develop a catalytic ignitor which used hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. Ignition characteristics were investigated by exit area of the catalytic bed, shape of kerosene injector and lead time of purge gas. The results showed that exit area of catalytic bed must be enough for non chocking condition and kerosene must be sprayed with swirl in the middle of catalytic bed. Also in case without preheating of catalytic bed, hydrogen peroxide must be leaded by 3sec, and purge gas must be supplied simultaneously or lately with kerosene.

The objective of this study is to characterize design parameters of rocket igniters for composite, double base and nitramine propellant. Arc image furnace and fiber optics surface reflectometer were used to measure ignition delay time and reflected optical energy of several compositions of composite, double base and nitramine base rocket propellant at different pressure levels each other. The order of ignitability was double base > composite > Nitramine propellants at initial pressure of over 75 psia. The highest ignition energy was needed to ignite nitramine propellant, however, as the pressure increased up to the range of $75{\sim}400$ psia as the ignition delay time decreased abruptly. The absorbtion of radiation energy could be increased by the addition of small amount of opacifiers as carbon black, ZrC, WC and burning catalyst.

액체로켓엔진에 있어서 연소실로 공급된 추진제의 안정적인 점화를 위해 추진제 공급의 선점 시간을 결정하기 위한 실험이 수행되었다. 사용된 추진제는 Jet A-1과 액체 산소이고 추진제의 공급은 가압 방식이다. 135$^{\circ}$의 각을 갖고 배열된 인젝터는 FOOF 타입의 비동류형 충돌형 인젝터이고 연소실 압력이 200psi가 되도록 설계되었다. 현재의 실험은 점화원으로서 TEAL(triethylaluminum)을 사용하여 쿼드렛 타입의 점화기의 안정적 점화 여부를 검증하는 것도 포함된다. 점화 특성 파악을 위해 인젝터 상류의 매니폴드 압력, 연소실 압력이 측정되었고 점화 과정 및 정상 상태로의 천이 과정에 대한 간접적 증거로서 화염 길이가 측정되었다.

A catalyst ignitor of small thrust engine using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene was designed and fabricated, which confirmed mass flow rate for design pressure through the water cold-flow test in this study. In order to investigate ignition performance, it was changed that mixture ratio for kerosene mass flow rate in a position which heat of hydrogen peroxide decomposition comes to a steady state. And we confirmed stable ignition property in a wide range of mixture ratio.

Several HTPB/AP and HTPB/AP/HMX propellants were investigated experimentally for ignition characteristics in subatmospheric pressure. The threshold ignition pressure was 4psia for HTPB/AP composite propellant. The partial replacement of AP in HTPB/AP composite propellant by $5\sim15%$ of HMX, HNIW showed improvements in the threshold pressure was below 0.4psia. This appears to be due to the exothermic dissociation characteristics of HMX and HNIW at lower temperature $(\sim220^{\circ}C)$ than that of AP. The ignition substance B/KNO3 was coated thinly on the propellant surface for better ignition effect. As a result, ignition delay time of 15% was improved. NC is applied to $B/KNO_3$ ignition substance as a secondary binder and $NC-B/KNO-3$ suspension solution is coated to the propellant surface.

The sequence of the propellant supply is very important for the reliable and safe operation of a LRE combustion test. So combustion performance tests were performed to find an optimum test sequence by changing supply time of propellants and purge gas in the moment of ignition and extinction. The liquid rocket engine consisted of a catalytic ignitor and six swirl-coaxial injectors which used hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. Conclusively, an optimum sequence was found for stable combustion in the moment of ignition and extinction.

Ignition characteristics of combustion chamber with LOx lead cyclogram for liquid rocket engine were described. The combustion chamber has chamber pressure of 60 bar, propellant mass flow rate of 89 kg/s, and nozzle expansion of 12. Cold flow test to determine the filling time of propellant for cyclogram with LOx lead supply, ignition test to check the ability to ignite starting fuel from the ignitor, low pressure combustion test to check the propagation of flame into main fuel-oxidizer mixture from starting fuel and the main combustion stage, and design point combustion test to check the combustion performance were performed. Ignition and combustion tests with LOx lead supply were successfully performed and the stable cyclogram of start sequence for combustion chamber was developed.
