An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of film cooling in the lab-scale liquid rocket engine using liquid oxygen(LOx) and Jet A-1(Jet engine fuel) as propellants. Film coolants(Jet A-1 and water) was injected through the film cooling injector. The outside wall temperature of the combustor and film cooled length were determined for chamber pressure, mixture ratio, and the different geometries(injection angle) with the percent film coolant flow rate. The loss of characteristic velocity was determined for the case of film cooling with water and Jet A-1. As chamber pressure increased, the outside wall temperature increased in the nozzle but unchanged over the 9 percent film coolant flow rate for the combustion chamber used in this study. Characteristic velocity wasn't affected with the mixture ratio over the 9 percent film coolant flow rate.

Two-phase flow in a combustion chamber is experimentally analyzed according to the five different conditions in the Reynolds numbers of $1.02{\times}10^4$. As the height difference between the primary and secondary jets increases, the secondary has a little less effect on the primary one in the case on the same height difference, the primary jet is affects as the velocity of th secondary on increase. The primary-jet flow field cause the particle concentration since is controlled by the velocity of secondary jet, the height difference, and the angle of primary jet in the test section.

To comparison the surface treatment methods of stone board materials, the results of Dorry's abrasive test were 23.4 for water-jet system and 18.9 for flame-burner system. Therefore abrasive hardness, the stone board materials by the water-jet system was greater than one by flame-jet system. As a result of Shore's hardness test, the stone board materials by water-jet system was twice greater than one by flame-jet system. Authors carried out microscopic observation to survey a defection of the composition minerals for two methods, but all of the both methods have not founded a defection. Therefore, the stone board materials by water-jet system was greater durability than one by flame-jet for the surface treatment methods.

In this paper, we present a design, analysis, fabrication and performance test of the novel DoD metal-jet system for application to the high-density and high-temperature-melting materials. The theoretical analysis of the metal-jet nozzle system is derived by using electro-mechanical analogy. Based on the theoretical analysis results, we design the metal-jet print head system and fabricate the metal-jet system, which can eject the droplet of lead-free metal solder in high-temperature. In the experimental test, we set up the test apparatus for visualization of the droplet ejection and measure the ejected droplet volume and velocity. As a result, the diameter, volume and the velocity of the ejected droplet are about 65 $\mu$m $\sim$ 70 $\mu$m, 145p1 $\sim$ 180 pl and 4m/s, which shows quite good agreement with the theoretical analysis results of the 75 $\mu$m-diameter and 220 pl-volume of droplet. In comparison with the experimental result, the errors of diameter and volume are 7% $\sim$ 13% and 18 $\sim$ 34%, respectively.

The use of high-density propellants can provide performance advantages in space launch vehicles by allowing an improved structural ratio due to smaller propellants tanks. The Jet A-1 fuel is currently used in Korean space launch vehicle development and it has lower density than other advanced hydrocarbon fuels such as RP-1 or RG-1. In this paper, the results of hydraulic and combustion tests conducted for the two newly developed densified hydrocarbon fuels are presented and they are compared with the results of Jet A-1. Conclusively, the two densified hydrocarbon fuels presented equivalent or even higher combustion performance compared to the Jet A-1 and the performance difference was found to be more obvious in the injector of external mixing.

The heat transfer phenomenon was investigated in this study when a circular water jet with low velocity flows to the downward facing heated circular plate and against the direction of gravity. Data are presented for jet flow rate between 0.23 and 2.3 l/min, jet fluid temperature of 24$^{\circ}C$, heat fluxes between 345 and 687 W/m$^2$, H/D=1, 2 and 3 with a single round jet diameter 2mm. The effects of heat flux, jet velocity and H/D on the local heat transfer are investigated in for the various regions of jet impingement. The local heat transfer distributions are analyzed based on the visualization of jet flow field. Data from experimental results are correlated by expressions of the form Nu=0.01$Re^{0.58}{\cdot}Pr^{0.4}$.

로켓의 추진제에는 고체 추진제와 액체 추진제를 사용하는 두 경우로 나눌 수 있는데, 액체 추진제를 사용하는 경우, 액체 연료와 액체 산화제를 다양한 방법으로 연소실내로 분사하게 된다. 이때 사용되는 injector들 중에 impingement type이 있다. 이 type은 injector의 가공이 비교적 용이하고, 혼합성능이 좋기 때문에 LOX/RP-1(Kerosin-based hydrocarbon fuel)을 사용하는 액체 로켓엔진에서 주로 사용되어 왔다. 두 액체 jet의 충돌에 의해 액막이 형성되는데, 이 액막은 가장자리로 갈수록 두께가 얇아지며 액막표면의 파는 충돌점으로부터 멀어질수록 그 진폭의 증가를 이루어 액체의 표면장력과 관성력의 균형을 깨트리며, 이 순간 액막은 rim의 형태로 분열하여 결국에는 액적을 생성하게 된다. 현재까지의 연구내용은 충돌 jet의 형태 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분된 인젝트에 관해 연구되어왔고, 특히 국내에는 이러한 구분된 충돌 jet의 분열현상에 관한 연구결과가 미흡하다. 동일한 오르피스의 경우에도 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분되어 지며, 각각의 jet의 형태에 따라 생성되는 액막의 형상 또는 다르게 생성되어 진다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 두 구분된 jet의 경우의 분열현상을 실험적으로 분석하였다.

Axisymmetric shear layers around a free jet is forced by co-flowing and counter-flowing secondary jets from/to an annular tube around the jet nozzle. The jet potential core extends far downstream with co-flowing secondary jets due to inhibited vortex developing and pairing. For counter-flowing cases, the axisymmetric shear layer around the jet transits from convective instability to absolute instability for velocity ratios R＝1.3～l.65 for the uniform velocity jets. Consequently, the jet potential core length increases and the turbulence level in the jet core is reduced significantly. The jets are controlled better with extension collars attached to the outer nozzle exit because the annular secondary flow is guided well by the extension collars. For the vectoring of jet, the annular tube around the jet is divided in two parts and the only one part is used for suction. The half suction makes the different shear layer around the jet and vectoring the jet by Coanda effect. The vectoring and turbulent components are varied significantly by the suction ratio. The experiments are carried out to investigate the characteristics of forced free jets using flow visualization, velocity and turbulence measurements.

A particle trajectory model to simulate two-phase particle-laden crossjets into two-dimensional horizontal free stream has been developed to study the variations of the jet trajectories and velocity variations of the gaseous and the particulate phases. The following conclusions may be drawn from the predicted results, which are in agreement with experimental observations. The penetration of the two-phase jet in a crossflow is greater than that of the single-phase jet. The penetration of particles into the free stream increases with increasing particle size, solids-gas loading ratio and carrier gas to free stream velocity ratio at the jet exit. When the particle size is large, the solid particles separate from the carrier gas , while the particles are completely suspended in the carrier gas for the case of small size particles. As the particle to carrier gas velocity ratio at the jet exit is less than unity, the particles in the vicinity of the jet exit are accelerated by the carrier gas. As the injection angle is increased, the difference of the particle trajectory from that of the pure gas becomes larger. Therefore, it can be concluded that the velocities and trajectories of the particle-laden jets in a crossflow change depending on the solids-gas loading ratio, particle size, carrier gas to free stream velocity ratio and particle to gas velocity ratio at the jet exit.

The supersonic, dual, coaxial jet impinging upon a vertical flat plate has recently been applied to a variety of industrial manufacturing processes, since it has several advantages over a conventional supersonic impinging jet. In the present study, experimentation is carried out to investigate the effects of the impinging angle of the annular flow and the design Mach number on the flow field formed over the vertical flat plate. A convergent-divergent nozzle is used to obtain the inner jet flow, its design Mach number being changed between $1.0\;and\;2.0$. The outer annular nozzle has a constant area of the Mach number of 1.0, and its impinging angle of $0^{\circ}\;and\;20^{\circ}$. The primary jet pressure ratio is changed in the range from 6.0 to 10.0 and for the annular flow, the assistant jet pressure ratio is changed from 1.0 to 4.0. The distance between the dual, coaxial nozzle and flat plate is also changed. Detailed pressure measurements are conducted along the axis of the jet and on the flat plate as well. The impinging coaxial Jet flows are visualized using the Schlieren and Shadow optical methods. The results show that the flow field on the plate is not strongly dependent only on the primary and assistant pressure ratios but also the impinging angle of the annular nozzle.
