  • An analysis of chill-down process was performed for 30 tonf Turbopump-Gas generator coupled tests. The chill-down process must be fulfilled before liquid rocket engine test using cryogenic propellant. Cavitation, damage and/or combustion instability due to bubble of propellant must be eliminated by chill-down process in a test specimen, especially cryogenic pump. The analysis of test data obtained by 30 tonf TP-GG coupled tests was performed in order to be based on the test process of KSLV-II liquid propellant rocket engine which will be developed. To macroscopically understand the process of chill-down from the viewpoint of test procedure the temperatures of important part and total time of chill-down process were analyzed.

  • A firing test of the 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine to be used as the first and second stage engines of the KSLV-II was carried out at the rocket engine test facility(RETF). Since this engine uses liquid oxygen as the oxidizer, which is a cryogenic fluid, it is essential that the chill down of the supply pipe line and engine proceed for the firing test; thus, the given inlet requirements must be met. Moreover, it is important to understand the chill down characteristics of the facility and the engine and the amount of liquid oxygen consumed in the chill down process for efficient test operation in the future. In this paper, chill down characteristics of the supply pipe and the engine were evaluated through the investigation of the chill down process of the 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine at each stage before and after run tank pressurization. In addition, the amount of liquid oxygen consumed was also evaluated.

  • The improvement of a flow coefficient for the recirculation chill-down flow in a main oxidizer shut-off valve has been presented. The flow coefficient, which is mainly affected by the recirculation outlet port size and the configuration inside the valve, has been predicted with measured flow coefficient values. The comparison of experimentally measured flow coefficient with the predicted value shows the effect of valve inside configuration on the flow coefficient. Consequently, the flow coefficient is twice the previous value and about 75% of the pressure loss assigned to the main oxidizer shut-off valve can be used for additional pressure losses for other components in the recirculation chill-down system of a launch vehicle.

  • In this research paper, we investigated the cryogenic line chill down characteristics of liquefied natural gas (LNG). A numerical analysis model was established and verified so that it can calculate the precise cooling characteristics of cryogenic fluid for the stable and safe utilization especially such as LNG and liquid hydrogen. The numerical modeling was programmed by C++ as an one-dimensional homogeneous model. The thermohydraulic cooling process was simulated using mass, momentum, energy conservation equations and appropriate heat transfer correlations. In this process, the relevant heat transfer correlations for nuclear boiling, transition boiling, film boiling, and single-phase heat transfer that can predict the experimental results were implemented. To verify the numerical modeling, several cryogenic line chill down experiments using LNG were conducted at the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) LNG and Cryogenic Technology Center.

  • One of the main problems faced in developing India's first HTS power cable was that of shrinkage in length of the double-walled vacuum-insulated cryostat. The shrinkage was due to the evacuation of the annular vacuum space which results in a shorter working cable length. This work reports experimentally observed contraction during evacuation and analyses corrugated pipes/bellows which house the cable core of HTS cables. The effect of corrugation geometry including length, corrugation pitch and depth, diameters of corrugated pipes and thicknesses of pipes is studied numerically to realize the degree of shrinkage due to vacuum as well as chill down. Finally, necessary length compensation and associated cost is determined to tackle the shrinkage issue.

  • This study aims to rediscover the meaning and value of Soswaewon construction represented in Kim In-Hu's 48 poems on the basis of the concept and idea of soundscape. It classified the landscape resources through the various emotional elements such as the sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and warmth described in the 48 poems of Soswaewon, and also interpreted the meaning and value of Soswaewon construction. Appreciating various sounds of Soswaewon, Kim In-Hu understood a sound as an important element of the landscape. Also, he abundantly wrote down the interesting changes of Soswaewon which vary depending on time or seasons. The 48 poems contain the scent and feel of Soswaewon as well as the soundscapes which can be heard with ears. A variety of sounds heard in Soswaewon are the whole senses which are combined with the chill of Soswaewon, the fragrance of trees and the mystery of the mountain, etc, and they mean the wider world much more than the value of physical sounds. Soundscapes of Soswaewon are becoming an emotional space which intactly conveys not only the musical inspiration but also the scent of life to us.

  • In this study the mechanical properties of ferritic ductile cast iron in as-cast are discussed by metallographic considering the effect of phosphorus content(about 0 - 0.8wt.%). In ferritic S.G. cast iron containing about 4.2wt.% Si, 0.5wt.% Ni, 0.02wt.%B, these samples are investigated for castability, microstructure, machinability, wear resistance, mechanical and thermal properties. The main results are summarized as follows. 1) The chill depth increased greatly with P addition up to about 0.6wt.% but the tensile strength and the elongation are decreased smoothly. 2) The size of S.G. and the amount of steadite increase with increasing P content. This means the tendency of increasing the number of S.G. 3) The maximum value of wear by mechanical fracture was appeared at the abrasion speed of 1.14m/sec and the plastic Flow layers are stretched longly on the wear surface with decreasing P content. 4) Although the coefficient of thermal expansion increased with P addition, the cast iron growth was slowing down extremely at 0.6w.% P or more.

  • A 75ton thrust turbopump system for liquid rocket engine was analyzed thermally and mechanically. A 2D axisymmetric model of the turbopump assembly was created. In the analysis operation cycle including chill-down, operation and post operation steps were considered. Appropriate heat transfer conditions for each step were modeled and applied. Transient temperature distribution was calculated, consequent mechanical analysis was conducted to predict stress and deformation. Effects of external heat insulators and heat dissipation at the bearings were considered in the heat transfer analysis.
