국가우주개발의 중장기 계획에 따른 우주 발사체 개발의 일환으로, 한반도 대기상태측정 등을 위한 고성능 과학관측로켓의 국산화를 위하여 항공우주연구소를 중심으로 여러 기관에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 액체로켓을 주 추진체으로 삼고 있기 때문에 로켓의 안정적인 연소와 성능 향상이야말로 발사체 개발에 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 액체로켓의 경우, 초기점화는 고체시동장치 또는 액체시동장치에 의한 방법 등으로 구분될 수 있다. 본 연구는 액체시동장치 중 hypergolic으로 초기점화를 하고 뒤이어 주추진제(LOX/kerosene)를 내보내어 주연소를 할 수 있는 Unlike impinging Quadlet injector(3 on 1)의 연소성능 이해와 예측을 위해 Cold flow test를 기초로 수행되었다.

램젯 엔진을 장착한 미사일은 기존의 터보젯 이나 터보팬 엔진에 비해 압축기와 터빈과 같은 엔진 구성품이 없어 무게가 가볍고 초음속에서 저항도 적으며 고속의 비행영역에서 연료효율과 생존성능이 뛰어나기 때문에 차세대 미사일 추진 시스템으로서 세계 여러 국가에서 개발 및 운용이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 램젯 엔진은 충분한 램 효과를 얻어야 초기 점화가 가능하기 때문에 현재 개발되고 있는 대부분의 시스템은 최초 발사시 로켓 부스터에 의해 가속하고 로켓연료를 모두 소모하고난 후에 흡입구가 개방되어 램젯 엔진이 점화하는 방식을 취하고 있다.

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.

Based on ISL' S225 superdetonative mode ram accelerator, numerical simulation is conducted for strong mixture cases ($2H_2+O_2+3CO_2,\;2H_2+O_2+2.5CO_2$). For 3.0CO2 case, projectile is not acclerated, but 2.5CO2 case has sucessful acceleration. It shows that superdetonative mode ram accelerator can be operated when using mixture which strong enough to ignition.

The combustion pressure and thrust of aft-igniter were measured to investigate the characteristics of ignition charge. Granule and pellet shape ignition charge of $BKNO_3$ and MTV(Magnesium-Teflon-Viton) were used for igniters. Ignitions with granule charges show abrupt increases of combustion pressure and thrust compared to those of pellet charge. $BKNO_3$ igniter shows higher combustion pressure than MTV igniter due to higher combstion rate. Mg particle size affects the combustion pressure of MTV igniter.

Micro solid propellant thruster is the most feasible for development with current MEMS. Basic components of micro solid propellant thruster are diverging nozzle, micro igniter, combustion chamber, and solid propellant. Micro nozzles and micro chambers were fabricated using photosensitive glass by anisotropic wet etching technique. Micro Pt heaters on glass membrane which ignited solid propellant were developed. Components of thruster were integrated. Successful ignition was observed.

For the development of an improved upper-stage engine, research on a staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine is in progress. A cold flow test, ignition test, and combustion test plans were established and performed to develop reignition combustion technology. In order to solve the problem of purge gas flowing into the fuel line, which may cause cavitation in the turbo pump during reignition, the test results of each stage were analyzed. Based on the analysis results, the purge gas inflow problem was solved by reducing the overlapping time between the operation of the bubble removal valve and the opening of the purge valve and the engine fuel valve. Based on this, the reignition combustion test was successfully performed.

An experimental investigation is proceeded to study on the relationship between spark ignition characteristics and the performances of an S. I. engine. The ignition parameters examined in this study are the ignition energy and discharging duration. The combustion pressure and exhaust gas are measured during the experiment. From the measured data of cylinder pressure, the heat release rate, the mass fraction burned, and the COV of IMEP are calculated. The dwell time and the injection time are varied. A single cylinder engine and a 30kW dynamometer are employed. Four different kinds of ignition systems are assembled, and one commercial ignition system is adopted. The experimental results show that the ignition energy is increased as the dwell time extended until the ignition energy is saturated. The higher ignition energy is effective in achieving the laster burning velocity and less producing HC emission. However, when the amount of ignition energy is similar, while the discharge duration becomes longer, the burning velocity is reduced but the engine operation becomes stable in terms of the COV of IMEP.

A Through Bulkhead Initiation Module(TBIM) has been designed which guarantees the seal property without using O-ring. The TBIM works as the shock wave generated by a donor charge transmits to the acceptor charge. The structural safety of TBIM housing has been calculated via modeling analysis, and the ignition performance has been proved by 10 cc closed bomb test. The reliability analysis has been made using Probit method on the base of performance test results. According to the reliability analysis the bulkhead thickness of TBIM which is the most important design parameter has been determined.

An experimental study was performed to understand ignition characteristics of gas turbine combustor with rotating fuel injection system. Liquid fuel applied to the inner surface of rotating fuel nozzle which was driven by high speed electrical motor is flung away by centrifugal forces. The real scale combustor and test rig was manufactured and tested under atmospheric condition in KARl combustion test facility. From the test results, this combustor ignition characteristics are highly dependent upon fuel nozzle rotating speed. Futhermore, combustor exit gas temperature was rapidly changed by increasing or decreasing the fuel nozzle rotating speed.
