In this study, a vitiated air heater was designed and manufactured to supply high-temperature and high-pressure air to the ground test apparatus of a direct-connected supersonic combustor, and an experiment was performed to verify the target design point. By installing wedges at the upper boundary, lower boundary and center of the nozzle exit of the vitiated air heater, it was confirmed that the Mach number satisfies the 2.0 level, and the pressure of the combustion chamber was also satisfactory compared to the design point. In the case of temperature, the measured temperature deviation was large due to the degree of exposure of the thermocouple and the slow response characteristics. After that, the isolator was connected to the rear of the vitiated air heater, and the Mach number was measured in the same method, and the Mach number at the center of the isolator eixt was slightly reduced to 1.8~1.9.

Hot firing tests of sub-scale combustors were carried out to study the characteristic velocity according to the variation of propellant mass flow and injector arrangement. Test results show that there exists an effective range of relative flow-rate density on the condition of similar combustion pressure and mixture ratio. Numerical analysis has also revealed that the increase of the distance between the outermost injector array and the cylindrical chamber wall with film cooling increases the region of low mixture ratio near combustion chamber wall and it decreases the characteristic velocity of the combustor. Thus, it was confirmed that these two factors play an important part in improving the performance of LRE combustor on a predetermined chamber pressure.

Combustion pressures were measured to study combustion stability for an oxygen rich preburner by both of static and dynamic pressure sensors. The resolutions of each static and dynamic pressure sensor are the 1,000 Hz and 25,600 Hz, respectively. The nominal combustion pressure of the preburner was 200 bar but 80 bar was used at the several initial tests for the safety reason. Two stage ignition was applied to reduce the ignition impact for every tests including the tests with 200 bar combustion pressure. The tests lasted for 10 sec. max. and a little fluctuations of pressure was observed during the main mode. The measured pressures were studied by FFT analysis and no noticeable frequency coupling was found. Thus the preburner can be regarded as stable and it can be utilized for further study on staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine.

Commercial gas burning appliances are classified by KGS AB338. Even though there are many types of gas appliances with different purposes and uses, common standards are applied to the appliances. Manifold of commercial gas range could often be corroded by salt water. Gas leaks and accidents could be occurred by the corrosion. According to suggestion of detailed material standards for manifold of commercial gas range, it could help to use safely and prevent gas accidents.

액체 로켓 엔진에 있어 극저온 추진제인 액체 산소를 사용하는 경우에는 He을 가압제로 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직하지만, 기체인 헬륨은 발사 대기시, 선가압시, 비행중에 액체산소에 서서히 녹게 된다. 일정량 이상의 He이 용해되어 있는 LOX가 엔진에 공급되는 경우에는 터보펌프의 이상 작동 또는 연소 불안정을 야기하게 되므로, 추진기관이 작동하는 동안에 용해되어 있던 He이 액체 산소에서 분해되어 가스로 발생되는지 여부를 판단하고, 이는 엔진의 연소 시험을 통해서 검증되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가상의 작동 상태에 대해 최대로 용해될 수 있는 러e의 양을 계산하고, 현재 사용되는 발사체의 경우와 비교를 하여 추진시스템 운용 조건을 적절히 조절하는 방안을 제시하였다.

에어컨 실외기는 냉매와 함께 가연성 윤활유가 고압으로 충전되어 있어 연소하중이 높다. 대부분의 건축물에 설치되는 에어컨 실외기는 미관을 고려하여 건물 외벽에 종렬로 설치하기 때문에 에어컨 실외기 또는 주변에서 화재가 발생하면 이들 실외기를 따라 고층으로의 연소 확대의 위험성이 있다.

In order to examine the application feasibility of Orimulsion fuel in a commercial boiler using heavy fuel oil, a numerical and experimental research efforts have been made especially to figure out the fundamental combustion characteristics of this fuel in a small-scale boiler. One of the notable combustion features of Orimulsion fuel is the delayed appearance of flame location with the flame shape of rather broad distribution, which is found experimentally and confirmed by numerical calculation. This kind of flame characteristics is considered due to the high moisture content included inherently in the process of Orimulsion manufacture together with micro-explosion by the existence of fine water droplets. In order to investigate the effect on the combustion characteristics of Orimulsion, a series of parametric investigation have been made in terms of important design and operational variables such as injected amount of fuel, types of atomization fluid, and phonemenological radiation model employed in the calculation, etc. The delayed feature of peak flame can be alleviated by the adjustment of the flow rate of injected fuel and the generating features of CO, $SO_2$ and NO gases are also evaluated in the boiler. When the steam injection as atomizing fluid is used, the combustion process is stabilized with the reduced region of high flame temperature. In general, the calculation results are physically acceptable and consistent but some refinements of phenomenological models are necessary for the better resolution of pollutant formation. From the results of this small-scale Orimulsion boiler, it is believed that a number of useful information are obtained with the working computer program for the near future application of Orimulsion fuel to a conventional boiler.

A Large Eddy Simulation (LES), adopting the Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) 1-step model, was successfully performed for backdraft phenomena. The activation energy of the finite chemistry reaction in the EDC 1-step model was adjusted to simulate the backdraft. The prediction of the EDC 1-step model was similar to that of the Mixing-Controlled Fast Chemistry (MCFC) model, except when the backdraft occurred. The EDC 1-step model could be used to simulate the experimental peak pressure, but not the first peak pressure of the backdraft.
