To research and develop a liquid rocket engine injector, it needs empirical studies about the hydrodynamic and spray characteristics such as pressure drop, mixing and atomization. In this study, the design and implementation of lab-scale cold-flow/hot fire test stand which can supply cryogenic propellant and be controlled by time-critical LabVIEW cyclogram logic has been done. In order to visualize the spray of a liquid-centered swirl coaxial injector in cryogenic condition, LN2-GN2 cold-flow test has been done, and combustor assembly and thrust bed for LOX-$GCH_4$ hot-fire test have been fabricated.

A vertical hot-firing test facility was established to carry out the IPPT(Integrated Propulsion Performance Test) and SQT(Stage Qualification Test) of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III). The components for actual launcher were mostly used, hence these tests were carried out under the condition of relatively lower safety margin. To perform hot-firing tests with the maximum safety, an engine emergency blockage system was investigated and applied. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressures and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such a system, the test safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT and SQT be safely completed.

Experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics of combustion of 7MW-3 air stages combustion system for a heavy oil firing boiler. Several fuel nozzles were developed for the purpose of lowering pollutions in another institute and ${\Phi}$-jet nozzle among them was equipped to the combustion system. A variety of combustion phenomena were observed as air stage ratio, air fuel ratio and load are changed for each nozzle. Main combustion characteristics are shape of flame, NOx and CO generations, smoke scale number. Through lots of adjustments, the combustion system reaches such goals as the low NOx of 160 ppm, CO of 300 ppm corrected at $O_2$ of 4% and dust of 150 mg/Sm3.

HCCI engines have mainly focused on achieving low temperature combustion in order to obtain higher efficiency and lower emission. One of practical difficulties in HCCI combustion is to control the start of combustion and subsequent combustion phasing. The choice of primary reference fuels in HCCI strategy is one of various promising solutions to make HCCI combustion ignition-controlled. The behavior of ignition delay to the frequency variation of sinusoidal velocity oscillation is computationally investigated under HCCI conditions of PRF75 using a reduced chemistry in a counterflow configuration. The second-stage ignition is more delayed as the higher frequency is imposed on nozzle velocity fluctuation whereas the first-stage ignition is not much influenced.

Ignition tests of an oxidizer rich preburner for a staged combustion cycle liquid rocket engine were performed to evaluate combustion performance. Design operation conditions of the tested oxidizer rich preburner are about 60 of OF ratio and 20 MPa of combustion pressure. The entire kerosene and some LOx injected into the mixing head is burned in combustion chamber and the remaining LOx injected through center holes of combustion chamber is vaporized. Full flow ignition method with hypergolic fuel was used. Each propellant was supplied in two stages for soft ignition. Test results, low frequency oscillation was occurred in low flow rate conditions under 45% of design flow rate. Stable ignition in the course of design combustion pressure was able to induce by minimization of low flow rate ignition region to escape low frequency oscillation.

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.

In this study, an extinguishment model of a three-dimensional solid propellant rocket was developed by combustion and fast depressurization to control the thrust of a solid rocket. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was carried out to ascertain the change in flow patterns in the combustion chamber and the extinguishment process by using a pintle. An ammonium perchloride was used as the target propellant and the dynamic behavior of its major parameters such as temperature, pressure, and burning rate was predicted using the combustion model. The dynamic behavior of the combustion chamber was confirmed by fast depressurization from an initial pressure of 7 MPa to a final pressure of 2.5 MPa at a depressurization rate of approximately -912 MPa/s.

The dynamic behaviors of the single vortex and flame-vortex interaction in a $CH_4/Air$ diffusion flame with addition of $CO_2$ were investigated numerically. The numerical method was based on a predictor-corrector for low Mach number flow. A two-step global reaction mechanism was adopted as a combustion model. Through comparison of results by effect of $CO_2$ added either on the fuel or oxidizer side, it was found that the growth of single vortex and entrainment of surrounding fluid by $CO_2$addition on the fuel side are larger than those by $CO_2$ addition on oxidizer side. Also, when $CO_2$ is added on fuel side, flame-vortex interaction becomes more significant than on air side.

Supersonic and hypersonic aircrafts must pass wide range of speed to reach high speed region. But for existing engines the most efficient operating speed ranges are decided according to their flying speed, so an engine which mixes several engines like TRJ (Turbo Ramjet) and ARJ (Air Turbo Ramjet) has been planed. This mixed type engine has inefficiency that more than two engines must be installed simultaneously, but the pulse detonation engine (PDE) that uses detonation wave has a strong point that it can operate in all speed range with single engine. This paper deals with the simulation of the pulse detonation engine which uses hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$ mono propellant. Hydrogen peroxide is low-cost propellant, and it is reacted without oxidizer. Comparison between $H_2-O_2$ mixture with $H_2O_2$ mono propellant about thrust, pressure, temperature and velocity shows that $H_2O_2$ is a very useful propellant.
