KSR 3단 AKM Motor Case를 개발하기 위해 추진기관 경량화에 가장 유리하고 비강도 및 비강성이 뛰어난 복합재 연소관을 고려하여 직경 300mm급의 축소형 모델을 선행 개발하였다. Netting 이론에 의해 연소관 두께를 결정하고 체적을 최소화 하기 위해 구형으로 연소관 형상을 설계하였다. 연소관을 제작하기 위한 맨드렐은 분리, 조립식으로 설계, 적용하였고 연소관 기밀 유지 및 추진기관 연소시 연소관을 보호하기 위한 삭마성 재료로 EPDM base의 고무 내열재 조성을 개발하였다. 고무 내열재는 맨드렐 위에 적층하고 Vacuum bagging 상태로 Autoclave에서 가황하여 적용하였다. 국내 최초로 Prepreg를 사용하는 Dry process로 고무 내열재가 적층된 맨드렐 위에 Winding하고, Vacuum bagging 상태에서 경화하여 연소관을 제작하였으며, 이 때 사용한 Carbor/Epoxy Perpreg 재료의 기계적 성질 및 열특성 시험을 병행하였다. 제작된 연소관은 수압 시험을 통하여 구조적 안정성을 입증하였고, NDT 검사를 통해 재료간 계면 상태를 분석하였다. 시험이 끝난 연소관은 향후 점화기 개발을 위하여 점화제 종류 및 약량을 변경하여 점화 시험을 수행하여 점화기 개발을 위한 기초 데이터를 확보하였다.

The cyclic variations can be characterized by the variations in different type of parameters. These parameters may be grouped into four main categories: pressure-related parameters, combustion-related parameters, flame front-related parameters, and exhaust gas-related parameters. One of the resultant effects of the cycle-by-cycle variation in the combustion process, which is the most important with regard to the engine performance characteristics, is the cycle-by-cycle variation in IMEP. This paper uses the repetitive discharge igniter, which can change the ignition energy easily, to study on idle stability in a spark ignition engine. From this device, the 6 number of spark and 0.20 ms spark interval, it is very available for the idle stability.

Harmful elements from the exhaust gases are caused by incomplete combustion of mixture inside the engine cylinder and this abnormal combustion like misfire or partial burning is the direct cause of the air pollution and engine performance degradation. In this study, I obtain the shapes of spark, voltage and current generated when changing the experimental parameters such as grounded electrode shapes, electrode gap and the material of center electrodes. After that, I produce ignition energy by using the voltage and current and classify ignition energy into capacitive discharge energy and inductive discharge energy.

현재 점화코일은 소형화 및 친환경성을 위해 에폭시 몰딩 절연층으로 변화되었다. 그러나 에폭시 몰딩으로 변환됨에 따라 점화코일 내부 절연층에 대한 절연진단 및 노화에 대한 정확한 진단의 어려움으로 적절한 교체시기를 예측하기 더욱 어려워졌다. 그로 인해 점화장치부분에 대한 예기치 못한 사고는 대형사고 유발을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비파괴검사의 일종인 부분방전을 이용한 열화검출을 연구하기 위해 열화에 따른 위상각-방전전하량-방전빈도수의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 방전 발생의 분포가 동일 조건에서도 매우 불규칙성을 가지고 있으므로 데이터의 정량화를 위해 불규칙적인 통계처리를 위한 와이블 분포를 사용하여 기기의 고장시간예측을 조사하였다.

The heat released during the external frictional motion is a factor responsible for initiating energetic materials under all types of mechanical stimuli including impact, drop, or penetration. We model the friction-induced ignition of HMX, RDX and AP/HTPB propellant using the BAM friction apparatus and one-dimensional time-to-explosion apparatus whose results are used to validate the friction ignition mechanism and the deflagration kinetics of energetic materials, respectively. The ignition times for each energetic sample due to friction are presented.

Spark-ignition engine knock is affected by engine operating conditions such as engine speed, spark timing and intake air temperature. In this study the effect of intake air temperature on knock characteristics was studied experimentally using a 4-cylinder carburetor spark-ignition engine. The cylinder pressure data at 2000rpm were taken for intake air temperature range of $30^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ with $10^{\circ}C$ interval. And 80 consecutive cycles were taken at each experimental condition. As the same spark timing, as the intake air temperature increased by $50^{\circ}C$, the mean knock intensity increased about 20kPa. This effect corresponds to that of spark timing advance of 3 crank angle degrees.

Initial flame development and propagation were visualized under the new ignition system developed to estimate the effects of ignition characteristics on the engine performance in a port injection SI engine. Effects of intake air flow characteristics were also investigated by three different kinds of the swirl control valve. Experiments were performed in an optical single cylinder engine modified form a commercial engine. Flame images were captured through the quartz window mounted in the piston by the high speed video camera and analyzed to compare initial flame development. Results show that IMEP tends to rise slightly as the ignition duration gets longer. The direction of flame propagation is decisively governed by the in-cylinder flow motion. Every flame grows toward the exhaust valve forming a kind of turbulent flame. Initial flame propaagation characteristics are very similar to ones analyzed form pressure data.

In recent years hydrogen peroxide has become considerably more attractive as a green rocket propellant so a laboratory model of hydrogen peroxide thruster adopted silver catalyst and a test facility has been developed to research a hydrogen peroxide propulsion. The design scheme of thruster and the test data are presented including ignition delay, efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity. As a result, 95% of efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity was obtained at steady state operation condition.

The influences of number of spark plug on ignitability, combustion characteristics and combustion promotion effect were examined to establish the design conception of spark ignition system for lean burn. Ignitability was increased remarkably by increasing of number of spark plug at combustion wall. Combustion duration was shortened and maximum combustion pressure was increased in accordance with increasing of spark plug number. Rate of overall combustion promotion considered of combustion duration and combustion pressure was 28% in two point ignition and 40% in four point ignition. It was verified that heat release, heat loss and combustion duration were affected by flame area, heat transfer area and maximum flame travel distance respectively.

Survey on the hypergolic igniter and its rupture discs for liquid rocket engines was performed. The patents of the igniters for US MC-1 and Russia RD-170 engines and the discs for NASA's space vehicle were analyzed. The types of discs and holders, characteristics related to rupture pressures and working fluids, and ASME standards of the discs were examined. Also, survey on structural analyses of the disc were performed. Typical design features and experimental results of the currently developing igniter by the authors were presented.
