For understanding of high performance liquid rocket engine operating at high pressure, dynamic characteristics of liquid oxygen in a swirl injector operating at supercritical conditions has been numerically investigated. Turbulent numerical model is based on large eddy simulation and contains full conservation laws including Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong equation of state and Chung's model. Preconditioning method is applied to get an effective convergence rate. Numerical analysis results are compared with the one that ideal equation of state applied to. Differences of thermodynamic properties and mixing dynamics are investigated at liquid phase area inside injector and combustion chamber.

Theoritical principles about the real gas equation of state are investigated and comparisons for the thermophysical properties of oxygen, hydrogen, and methane as the propellants of liquid rocket engine are carried out for the various conditions of pressure and temperature including supercritical conditions. The properties obtained using the real gas equation of state(Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson equation of state, and extended corresponding states principle) have been compared with the results of applying the ideal gas equation of state. Differences of thermophysical properties among the models specifically at the liquid phase regime and their error ranges are addressed.

The extraction of volatile essential oil using supercritical carbon dioxide with 2%(v/v) ethanol and non-ethanol was performed in a semi-continuous flow extractor at the range of pressures and temperatures 6.9 to 17.2 MPa and 30 to 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively. When ethanol was added to the co-solvent, the solubility of volatile essential oils was increased up to 90% over the neat CO$_2$ value. The most efficiency of extraction of the voilatile essential oils was achieved at 13.8㎫ and 40$^{\circ}C$ by supercritical carbon dioxide with entrainer from Citrus junos peel.

For the study of thermophysical properties of kerosene for the liquid rocket and aviation fuels, the surrogate models are investigated. The density distributions based on the real gas equations of state(Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson equation of state) and NIST SUPERTRAPP(extended corresponding state principle) are compared with the previous experimental results at supercritical conditions. The error range of thermophysical properties analyzed for the surrogate models as well. Peng-Robinson equation of state and extended corresponding state principle are especially accurate for the hydrocarbon fuels but the appropriate surrogate models need to be chosen to the operation conditions such as pressure and temperature.

In this work, we developed supercritical fluid chromatographic methods for the samples which are difficult to analyze with conventional GC or HPLC. Long-chain Hydrocarbons, mink oils and soybean oils unsuitable for GC because of their low volatility or limited thermal stability were separated by SFC due to the high solvating properties of supercritical carbon dioxide fluids. In our research, a new method for the analysis of polar fatty acids and pesticides was developed. This method should be used to overcome problems with polar samples in SFC.

Characteristics of cryogenic single jet flow were investigated. Liquid nitrogen was injected into a high-pressure chamber and formed single jet. Ambient condition around jet was changed from subcritical to superctirical condition of nitrogen. Injector geometries also were changed. A shape of the jet and core diameter were measured by flow visualization technique, and core spreading angle was calculated. Flow instability was found at atmospheric pressure condition. As ambient pressure increased, core spreading angle was increased and maintained after certain pressure.

The recovery of stainless steel fiber by removing cutting oil from grinding swarf, which is classified as specified wastes, was investigated. Swarf loaded with grinding oil was regenerated by supercritical carbon dioxide. And, the effects of temperature(313.15K-323.15K), pressure(10MPa-30MPa) on regeneration efficiency were studied. Regeneration effiency was increased as the pressure was increased. Also, at the same pressure, the experiments at higher temperature were more efficient for regeneration. The experiment results was predicted by applying a one-parameter mathematical model assuming linear desorption kinetics. The predicted value showed good agreement with experimental data.

In this study heat transfer characteristics of kerosene at supercritical condition was predicted. And a sample heat transfer calculation was performed using this result. The prediction was done by assuming kerosene as a mixture of a number of pure substances, and combining the thermodynamic properties of them, using NIST SUPERTRAPP. A regeneratively cooled supersonic combustor will be desinged using the resultant thermophysical property data of supercritical kerosene. Comparing with the combustion test results of the regenerative cooling combustor, the predicted thermophysical property data will be verified.

초임계 이산화탄소 발전 시스템 구축을 위해서는 고온, 고압의 열악한 환경에 노출되는 터빈, 열 교환기, 압축기와 같은 핵심 부품들의 내식성 평가는 반드시 수행되어야 한다. 이를 위해 후보소재 3종 Ferritic-Martensitic Steel (T92), Austenitic Steel (SS316L), Ni-based Alloy (IN738LC)를 선정하여 고온의 유사 초임계 $CO_2$ 발전 환경에서의 내식성 평가를 진행하였다. $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$의 2개의 온도 구간에서 $CO_2$ 분위기를 조성하여 800 시간 동안 노출시킨 뒤, Weight Change, Surface Morphology, Cross Section, Composition을 분석하였다. Cr-rich Protective Layer를 형성하는 Ni-based Alloy와 Fe/Cr-rich oxide를 형성하는 Austenitic Steel은 우수한 부식 저항성을 보인 반면에 Ferritic-Martensitic Steel은 높은 Weight Change와 Fe-rich Non-Protective Oxide가 관찰되어 상대적으로 낮은 부식 저항성을 보였다.

Nano-size Alumina powders were prepared by heat treatments which were products obtained using supercritical drying and fluid method. Al-isopropoxide dispersed in ethylene glycol as solvents were used as starting materials. The alumina powders were made by supercritical drying fluid method at Autoclave, those were characterize examined closely by XRD, SEM and TG-DTA. The powders were transformed $\alpha-A12O3$ in new route after heat treatment.
