현재 개발 중에 있는 30-tonf-class 실물형 액체로켓연소기는 이미 설계검증을 위해 수차례의 연소시험이 이루어졌으며 그 결과 높은 연소효율을 얻었다. 연소성능과 더불어 액체로켓연소기의 중요한 또 하나의 요소는 바로 연소안정성이다. 연소안정성에 대한 평가시험은 개발하고자 하는 액체로켓연소기의 연소불안정 발생 빈도를 파악하는 시험으로서 액체로켓연소기 개발시 꼭 확인해야하는 시험이라 할 수 있다. 펄스건을 이용한 스테인레스 스틸 재질의 임시 배플이 장착된 실물형 연소기의 연소안정성 평가시험은 성공적으로 수행되었으며 그 결과 우수한 연소안정성 특성을 얻었다. 시험결과는 다음 호기의 실물형 연소기 배플 설계에 활용될 예정이다.

Mechanical and physical properties of a copper alloy for a liquid rocket engine(LRE) combustion chamber liner application were tested at various temperatures. All test specimens were heat treated with the condition they might experience during actual fabrication process of the LRE combustion chamber. Physical properties measured include thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal expansion data. Uniaxial tension tests were preformed to get mechanical properties at several temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600$^{\circ}C$. The result demonstrated that yield stress and ultimate tensile stress of the copper alloy decreases considerably and strain hardening increases as the result of the heat treatment. Since the LRE combustion chamber operates at higher temperature over 400$^{\circ}C$, the copper alloy can exhibit time-dependent behavior. Strain rate, creep and stress relaxation tests were performed to check the time-dependent behavior of the copper alloy. Strain rate tests revealed that strain rate effect is negligible up to 400$^{\circ}C$ while stress-strain curve is changed at 500$^{\circ}C$ as the strain rate is changed. Creep tests were conducted at 250$^{\circ}C$ and 500$^{\circ}C$ and the secondary creep rate was found to be very small at both temperatures implying that creep effect is negligible for the combustion chamber liner because its operating time is quite short.

In liquid rocket engine, propellant feed rate is proportional to approximately square root of the pressure difference between injector head and combustion chamber. This ΔP depends on the engine design, but in general on the order of 50psi. However, during ignition period, especially for the pressurized feed system, combustion chamber pressure is almost atmospheric and large ΔP causes over flow of propellants which may lead to catastrophic accident due to hard start. Hard start may be prevented by applying cavitating venturi or/and two step ignition. In cavitating venturi, evaporated propellants near the venturi throat become chocked and flow rate depends on only upstream condition. In two step ignition propellants are supplied to the liquid engine in two different flow rate. First step, to avoid hard start, small amount of propellants are supplied to build up chamber pressure in safe zone, then full propellants to ensure design pressure. In this study, both cavitating venturi and two step ignition method were used for the hot test and hard start problem was completely solved.

A liquid rocket engine performance has been analyzed as a function of combustion pressure with LOx/RP-1R. The present method is verified by comparing the specific impulse for various combustion pressure with given pump head model. The optimal combustion pressure is between 150 bar and 200 bar for given efficiencies. Both the optimal combustion pressure and the specific impulse increase for increased turbine efficiency. The optimal combustion pressure decreases and the specific impulse increases for increased combustion efficiency. The pump efficiency and the turbine inlet temperature have the same qualitative effect as the turbine efficiency.

Acoustic characteristics of unbaffled and baffled combustion chamber are experimentally investigated under atmospheric condition to preliminarily determine baffle for mitigation of combustion instability. To investigate the effect of the baffle which has several configurations such as radial baffles and hub/blade baffle, resonant-frequency shift and damping factors of the chamber were analyzed and compared quantitatively with those of the unbaffled combustion chamber. From a view of acoustic characteristics, radial baffles with several configurations have not much difference in resonant-frequency shift and damping factor ratio with each other. On the other hand, hub and blade baffle is very effective to suppress the first tangential mode which was found to be the most harmful acoustic mode in KSR(Korean Sounding Rocket)-III engine. But more study on design parameters such as hub size and axial length should be done for complete optimization of hub and blade baffle. The present study based on linear acoustic analysis is expected to be a useful confirming tool to predict acoustic field and design a passive control devices such as baffle and acoustic cavity.

본 연구에서는 하류의 압력 변동이 있을 때 캐비테이션 벤튜리에 의한 유량 제어 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 액체로켓엔진 연소시험설비에 적용할 캐비테이션 벤튜리를 설계, 제작하였다. 캐비테이션 벤튜리에 대한 실험과 수치해석을 수행하여 유량 특성을 분석한 결과 캐비테이션 벤튜리는 캐비테이션이 발생하는 영역에서 일정한 유량을 공급하는 것이 입증되었다. 그러나 실제공급압력이 설계압력보다 작을 경우 캐비테이션 벤튜리의 기능을 하지 못해 유량을 일정하게 공급할 수 없는 구간을 알 수 있었다.

매우 높은 연소가스로부터 연소실을 보호하기 위하여 액체로켓에서는 재생냉각방법을 폭넓게 이용하고 있다. 재생냉각을 통한 로켓엔진의 냉각을 매우 효과적인 방법이지만, 이를 개발하기 위해서는 정확한 해석과정, 제작기술 등이 필요하다. 한다. 실제 소형 로켓엔진에 재생냉각을 이용한 엔진 냉각의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 설계, 제작된 로켓으로 연소실험을 진행하였다. 실험에 사용한 연소실은 coolant passage 3 mm, 벽 두께 1 mm, stainless 304로 제작하였다. 최대연소압과 연소시간은 각각 400 psi와 60 sec이고, coolant 유량은 2 kg/s에서 0.12 kg/s까지 감소시키면서 실험하였다. 연소시험후 육안으로 검사한 결과 연소실에서 특별한 이상은 발견되지 않았다.

Study on the ignition characteristics of combustor and gas generator for LOx-kerosene liquid rocket engine was performed experimentally through a series of combustion tests of sub-scale engine combustor and gas generator. Characteristic of gas-torch ignitor based on gaseous methane and gaseous oxygen was compared with hypergolic ignition using propellant tri-ethyl-aluminium. Gas-torch ignitor showed good performance on igniting sub-scale liquid rocket engine combustor and gas generator. It was observed that the ignition delay is also affected by the extent of nitrogen in the combustion chamber.

Experimental studies on determination of the supply leading time of propellants to combustion chamber have been made to stably and efficiently guarantee the ignition process with liquid rocket engine. The propellant used is a Jet A-1 as fuel and a liquid oxygen as oxidizer. Unlike impinging FOOF type of injectors are arranged radially and the designed O/F ratio is 2.34. The present experiment program also includes the stability on the quadlet type of ignitor using the triethylalumimum as an ignition source and injector life tests. Experimental results clarifies that the propellant supply through LOx leading to combustion chamber is proper for stable ignition and combustion processes based on the fuel and oxidizer manifold pressures, combustion chamber pressure, and the variation of flame length from the nozzle exit with lapse time, and shows that the leading supply time of propellants affects the engine performance little. The effect of positioning cooling holes is remarkable to protect the injector face.
