This article deals with the introduction of longitudinal instability of liquid rocket (pogo) and the analytical results on the frequency responses of KSR-III propulsion feeding system. Both the stiffness of bellows and the cavitation volume of venturi affect the frequency response of the feeding system. Especially, bellows has a great roll to reduce the natural frequency of the feeding system. Also, oxidizer and fuel feeding systems of the KSR-III have natural frequencies of ${\~}280Hz\;and\;{\~}90Hz$, respectively.

Currently, due to the increase in GHG emissions, the global weather phenomenon is constantly occurring, and each international organization is trying to reduce 온실가스 through various regulations to reduce GHG. To comply with the regulations, eco-friendly ships are currently being studied to reduce GHG. This paper models the fuel propulsion system of NH3 sofc fuel cell propulsion ship through the case study of eco-friendly ships, especially NH3 fuel cells, and provides information on how NH3 sofc fuel cell propulsion ships can benefit energy efficiency and decarbonization compared to existing FO vessels.

Insensitive Munitions(IM) of solid propulsion system are defined as munitions that fulfil the performance and operational requirements, but will minimize the violence of a reaction when subjected to inadvertant stimuli. It should be clear that the reaction violence of rocket motor subjected to thermal stimuli can be mitigated by reducing confinement prior to propellant reaction. Devices designed to do this by venting the rocket motor case are commonly referred to as mitigation devices. The objective of this paper is to introduce the technical information related to the pyrotechnic mitigation devices for insensitive munition of solid rocket motor.

Two types of pressurization system and low weight feeding piping system are developed. With sub-system tests, ullage pressure control performance was verified for 1 step and 2 step pressurization system and the feeding performance of feeding piping system was also verified. The weight of the feeding piping system is low enough for the application of launch vehicle. In addition, LOX conditioning system is developed for avoiding geysering and LOX temperature rise. Integrated performance was verified through integrated on-board feeding system performance tests.

The ablation characteristics of graphite nozzle throat insert was analyzed for the use in solid rocket propulsion system. The propulsion system was composed of three types of conventional nozzles, such as De-Laval type, blast tube type, and submerged type. Various kinds of propellants were used in ten kinds of propulsion system that had different shapes with each other. Total forty eight tests were performed. From the results of the analysis, it was found that the ablation rate was increased for the higher average chamber pressure and the higher oxidizer mole fraction. A useful correlation for nozzle throat ablation rate was developed in terms of the chamber pressure, oxidizer mole fraction, and throat size. The calculated ablation rates from the correlation showed agreement within ${\pm}0.10mm/s$ with the experimentally determined values.

A cold-flow test equipment was designed to carry out the performance verification of TDACS. For that purpose, the pressure dynamics in the solid rocket motor combustor and the cold-flow test was modeled, and the response time showing the dynamic characteristics of each model was obtained. In this paper, the system response time of the cold-flow test was designed to be equal to that of the motor, making the dynamic response in cold-flow and hot gas condition to be similar.

In this paper, Underwater propulsion test of SWASH(Small Waterplane Area Single Hull) type underwater vehicle with hybrid rocket system is performed. Watertight structure is applied to prevent a combustion chamber from water, and the control logic is constructed by setting the watertight ignition sequence. As a results, It is confirmed that the ignition is stable in water, and the propulsion system works well along the configured control sequence.

Liquid acquisition device in the liquid propellant supply system is required to protect entrance of gas bubble into the propulsion system. The device exploits the capillary effect of micro-sized poles in a screen and supplies pure liquid-phase propellant to the propulsion system. The bubble point is the most important performance parameter in the design of a liquid acquisition device. In this paper, performance parameters affecting the bubble point are identified through literature survey, in order to develop the experimental setup for the bubble point measurement.
