The technology development of a high performance upper stage engine for a GEO(GEostationary Orbit) KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle) is undergoing in Korea Aerospace Research Institute. KSLV is composed of an open cycle engine with gas generator, which is for a low orbit launch vehicle. However the future GEO launch vehicle requires a high performance upper stage engine with a high specific impulse. The staged combustion cycle engine is necessary for this mission. In this paper, current progress and future plan for staged combustion cycle engine development is described.

A test range for a 75tf class gas generator cycle liquid propellant rocket engine is defined. The engine system test range is defined by the performance variation during flight, the dispersion after engine calibration, and additional margin. The component development test range includes the operation range corresponding to the engine system test range and the component performance margin.

To improve the performance of diesel automobile engine, we designed new fuel supply system named ultrasonic fuel supply system. The performance test of diesel automobile engine carried out to examine possibility of practical use of ultrasonic fuel supply system to test engine. This paper deals with the comparative results of performance test of diesel automobile engine in terms of smoke, HC, SFC, PS, thermal, efficiency, torque. Following are obtained result. 1) In naturally aspirated diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system output, fuel consumptions are improved and exhaust gas reduced significantly. 2) In turbo-charging diesel engine both using of ultrasonic fuel supply system and using of conventional injector, engine performance and exhaust gas temperature are almost constant. 3) In turbo-charging diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system, NOx are emitted approximately 3.5% higher than total average. 4) In turbo-charging diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system, smoke and CO are 17% and 11.8% improved respectively.

The recent results of the engine development performed in this you on Turbogreen 1200, the first industrial gas turbine engine developed in Korea, are presented. In order to improve the engine performance and structural stability from the first prototype engine, several variants of the engine and major components such as combustor and rotor assembly have been developed and tested. This paper shows these results especially focused on the engine test and performance analysis, in which test system, instrumentation and data processing are discussed as well. The engine performance and its trend give relatively good coincidence with the design ones. At design power of 1.2MW, the thermal efficiency of the engine is estimated over $25\%$ which is below the design target of $27.2\%$. This gap of efficiency is caused mainly by large tip clearance between turbine blades and casing. Considering high design efficiency superior to those of other competitive engines in this power class, Turbogreen 1200 would have a strong competition in its performance if the design efficiency is achieved by further developments such as tip clearance control, which are very possible and natural in final mass production of the developed gas turbine engine.

The main study experiments to obtain engine torque of the vehicle during performance test of the recent automobile. Torque was measured through the engine dynamometer to produces engine torque of the vehicle but the research method calculated engine torque of the vehicle without the engine dynamometer. The performance of the vehicle receive various running resistance. The study certificates performance of certification before a certification of used vehicle didn't carry out and certificate. This way evaluated on road test and chassis dynamometer The result of the study shows that it is much possible to apply the test. After comparing the engine torque of road driving with that of chassis dynamometer, the results are approximately the same. When rapidly speeded up, the road-load vehicle can pitch in some degrees, which may result in the fluctuations of acceleration, and then affect on the engine torque. Therefore it is confirmed that this method is easier way to measure the performance of vehicles.

Inlet distortion test was performed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute in order to evaluate the degradation of engine performance under the distorted inlet condition. In this paper, only the inlet pressure distortion was taken into consideration. During the development process of the inlet distortion test technique, variable distortion screen was designed and evaluated under various test conditions to establish the experimental database of distortion for engine test. The result of inlet distortion test for engine shows that the operating point was changed toward the worse direction and the degradation of engine performance by inlet distortion was verified.

Methodology of predicting steady performance of gas turbine engine from transient test data was explored to develop an economic performance test technique. Discrepancy of transient performance from steady performance was categorized as dynamic, thermal and aerodynamic transient effects. Each effect was mathematically modeled and quantified to provide correction factors for calculating steady performance. Engine performance tests were conducted at Altitude Engine Test Facility of KARI. The influence of engine inlet/outlet condition change on engine performance was corrected firstly, and then steady performance was predicted from the correction factors. The result was compared with steady performance test data. This correction method showed an acceptable level of precision, 3.68% difference of fuel flow.

It is important to consider powertrain cooling performance, when engine is applied to new vehicle. If the performance is poor, engine will be damaged by overheating. But, the development timing of engine is faster than timing of vehicle, it is difficult to test the cooling performance of new engine and vehicle. In this study the powertain cooling performance was estimated with some test and calculation data. First, the heat rejection test was conducted. From this test, the heat rejection data at required rpm and load was acquired. Second, coolant flow test was conducted. From this test coolant flow rate to radiator was measured. Then engine torque and rpm was calculated from vehicle load and speed. Vehicle load and speed was calculated from test mode. Then by comparing these data, the powertrain cooling performance was estimated.
