KSR-III propulsion system designed in KARI has a gas-pressurization system for propellant feeding system. This system uses a regulator for the control of the ullage pressure of propellant tank and a venturi for passive control of propellant flowrate. This system seems to be very reliable, but the flowrate of propellant varies according to the change of acceleration with the rocket flight. In this paper, dynamic characteristic of KSR-III propulsion feeding system was analyzed in flight condition. The purpose of this research is to find the variation of off ratio and propellant flowrate change for certification condition of engine reliability test.

An experimental study was performed to understand spray characteristics of the rotary atomizer for the slinger combustor. In this fuel injection system, fuel is injected and atomized in the combustor by centrifugal forces to engine shaft. The experimental apparatus consists of a high speed rotational spindle, rotary atomizer, pressure tank and acrylic case. The droplet size and velocity were measured by PDPA (phase Doppler particle analyzer), and spray was visualized by using high speed camera and Nd:Yag laser-based flash photography. From the test results, the droplet size (SMD) is largely affected by rotational speed, mass flow rate and the number of orifice. As the experimental results, we could understand the spray characteristics of the rotary atomizer for the slinger combustor and obtain the optimum shape of the rotary atomizer which is suitable for the small gas turbine engine.

The 3-dimensional measuring machine by using an ultrasonic sensor is used one of the NDE(Non Destructive Examination). It is applied to the inspection of pipelines, boreholes, pressure vessel and tank, and so on. In particular when a harsh environment prohibits the use of moving mechanical parts. The 3-dimensional measuring machine by using an ultrasonic sensor, which measure 1-dimensional information and 2-dimensional information simultaneously from a target of inspection, and then reembody 3-dimensional information. So we can find the situation in progress and predict remaining life and corrosion without destructive examination. It's a point of excellence that the 3-dimensional measuring machine is portable.

Optical fiber sensor is a subject which has been attracted considerable attention in recent years. Detection of sound pressure with optical fibers positioned in the arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is presented in this paper. A fiber length of the order of 150m is wounded is made by hollow cylinder type. To increase the sound signal 3${\times}3$ directional coupler is used. Fiber optic hydrophone is the underwater tank with 2kHz sound source. Finally, it is shown that the fiber optic hydeophone can stably detec 2kHz sound.

According to the development of vehicle technique, the improved NVH performance is required in the vehicle which have the high effectiveness and the high output of the powertrain. This vehicle has to be adapted to active engine mounting system to reduce the vibration in accordance with various vehicle information. The pneumatic active engine mounting system is consist with engine mount, solenoid valve, air tank and control unit totally. The important technique of this system is to reduce the vibration by the air pressure. This paper contains the development process of the pneumatic active engine mounting system and confirm the performance of this system test and vehicle test.

The leak-before-break(LBB) design on the large structures such as ship's hull, tank structure, pressure vessels etc. is one of the most inportant subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety. In these structures, various loads are acting. In some structural members, therefore, out-of-plane stress due to bending often may become with in-plane stress due to stretching. In the present report, the characteristics of fatigue life and peneration behaviour from a surface cracked plate under combined tension and bending have been studied experimentally and analytically by using eccentricity. Estimation of fatigue crack growth was done with the Newman-Raju formula before penetration, and with the stress intensity factor after penetration proposed by the author. Calculated aspect ratio showed the good agreement with the experimental result. It was also found that particular crack growth behaviour and crack shape after penetration can be satisfactorily evaluated using the K solution proposed.

Analytical and experimental studies have been performed to investigate the strength of the membrane and the reaction force at the anchor point. Using nonlinear FEM code and experiments, the stress analysis of the corrugated membrane related the cryogenic liquid pressure and thermal loading is performed to ensure the stability and fatigue strength of the membrane. This paper reports on the FEM results of membrane.

This paper describes the design and integration of the wind- fuel cell hybrid system. The hybrid system components included a wind turbine, an electrolyzer (for generation of H2), a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell), storage system and BOP (Balance of Plant) system. The energy input is entirely provided by a wind turbine. A DC-DC converter controls the power input to the electrolyzer, which produces hydrogen and oxygen form water. The hydrogen used the fuel for the PEMFC. The hydrogen is compressed and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system.

The high pressure hydrogen gas refueling system is required for fuel cell vehicle. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT is adopted to investigate the gas flow characteristics inside the check valve for various refueling and tank pressures. The results showed that the choking phenomena can occur for certain refueling pressures, therefore refueling processes should be divided by multiple stages. And a design method to prevent the seal departure problem which reported in CNG usages is required.

This paper is estimation of structure damage caused by Explosion in LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) filling station. As we estimate the influence of damage which occur at gas storage tank in filling station. We can utilize the elementary data of safety distance. In this study, the influence of over-pressure caused by VCE(Vapor Cloud Explosion) in filling station was calculated by using the Hopkinson's scaling law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent structure into the probit model. As a result of the damage estimation conducted by using the probit model, both the damage possibility of explosion overpressure to structures of max 265 meters away and to glass bursting of 1150 meters away was nearly zero in open space explosion.
