The Properties of material, C18200 which is used for development of high performance liquid rocket engine combustor chamber were obtained by tension tests. The specimen for regenerative combustor was designed by structural analysis using that Properties. After the designed specimen was manufactured by the same manufacturing process of regenerative combustor. the yielding stress and yielding strain were obtained by strength tests. The properties of C18200 was degraded very much after brazing. The estimation of yielding pressure by structural analysis was almost same as that of strength test. The collector Part was yielded and failed previously than that of cooling channel part during strength test.

In this paper, the characteristic of the regenerative pump is reviewed by the measurement and the analysis. The dominant noise sources are harmonic components of the rotating impeller frequency. The acoustic characteristics and the noise source position at the dump are identified. In order to reduce the high-level peak noise, the interior flow of the pump chamber is analyzed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Acoustic pressure is calculated with Ffowscs Williams and Hawkings equation. As the result of the analysis new design of the pump chamber is recommended. The recommended pump is compared with original pump by evaluating the RMS value of a interior static pressure and the sound pressure level. The new pump chamber recommended by analysis results is proved by a process of the measurement. The overall SPL of a recommended pump is reduced about 3 dBA.

A design program has been developed to predict film cooling performance of a liquid rocket engine. A thermal protecting effect of low mixture ratio gas layer has been analysed by CFD. A one-dimensional film cooling model based on the CFD results has been implemented to the previously developed design program of regenerative cooling. Satisfactory agreement has been achieved by comparing the predicted maximum heat flux at the throat of a subscale chamber and the average measured value, and the predicted nozzle average heat flux and the measured value for a full scale chamber with film cooling. It is ascertained that the film cooling is effective to reduce the throat heat flux in rocket engine chamber.

This paper is related to a design of high pressure sub-scale combustor with regenerative reeling. As a previous step for the evaluation of thermal heat flux, a similar combustor with cooling water was manufactured. Design conditions with high combustion efficiency and cooling performance were verified through the hot firing tests of the water-cooled high pressure combustor. Finally the regeneratively cooled high pressure combustor has been designed based on these data. After manufacturing it, its practical utility will be tested and verified through hot firing tests.

A design of regenerative cooling system of 30 ton level thrust combustion chamber for ground test has been performed. The 1-D design code has been validated by comparing with the heat flux of the NAL calorimeter for high chamber pressure and water-cooling performance of the ECC engine of MOBIS. The present design code has been confirmed to predict accurately the heat flux and water-cooling performance for high chamber pressure condition. The maximum hot-gas-side wall temperature is predicted to be about 720 K without thermal barrier coating and the coolant-side wall temperature is less than the coking temperature of RP-1. The coolant temperature rises nearly 100 K with thermal barrier coating when Jet-A1 is used as coolant.

Electric vehicles are widely produced from many car manufacturers around the world instead of internal combustion engine vehicle in order to respond a variety of environmental regulations. Also, they are applying for modular design method to develop plenty of the vehicles. And, both of these two issues will be an important trend to lead the future global automobile industries for a long time. In this paper, new brake architecture concept is proposed in order to respond to such a situation. First, physical interfaces between brake system like caliper, disc and other counter-parts are established for modular assembly. Second, we analyze effective factors of brake system for electric vehicles which need to reflect vehicle specifications such as total vehicle weight. Here, we consider ideal brake force by critical deceleration. Third, we simulate accumulated regenerative brake energy for two main driving modes to confirm to effectiveness for a variety of Electric Vehicle. Finally, we hope that it contributes to implement brake architecture for the development of Electric Vehicle platform through such a study.

Many global car manufacturers in the world are recently developing a variety of electric vehicles in response to demanding market needs. Also, they have adapted the architecture method in order to develop electric vehicles effectively. It is because architecture method can produce various electric vehicles with high profitability. However, when electric vehicles are being developed, brake system has a lot of demanding tasks in relation to deciding specification of brake system because of heavy vehicle weight, narrow power electric room space and large volume of electric hydraulic booster. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for deciding the front and rear brake systems in order to design the brake system of electric vehicles effectively. To do this, we study correlations among vehicle weight, layout of power electric room and volume of electric hydraulic booster. And then, we also study combination of hydraulic braking and regenerative braking which is widely applied to electric vehicles. Finally, we want to contribute to build up modular design of brake system for architecture of electric vehicles through these studies.

Regenerative cooling passage to guarantee the thermal survivability in high performance rocket engine combustors could have complex configurations of the branching/merging of channels and flow turning, etc. By applying the classical hydraulic coefficients which can be found in the literature according to the flow conditions, hydraulic characteristics in regenerative cooling passages can be obtained effectively through dividing the pressure loss into friction loss and local resistance loss. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained by comparing the present results with experimental measurement of water flow test. In addition, the present results were in good agreement with CFD results when the actual coolant, kerosene was used. Therefore, the application of the present method is expected to be useful to design regeneratively cooled combustors.

An experimental study has been conducted for the design of the regenerative oxy-fuel combustion system with ceramic ball. Various design parameters are considered such as ball size, regenerator weight, and combustion load. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is set up and the temperature of oxygen and exhaust gas passing through ball regenerator is measured. It is shown that the temperature distributions with time are affected by ball diameter and regenerator weight, and the significant temperature change is observed by combustion load. As the ball size decreases and the regenerator weight increases, the regenerating temperature efficiency increases. It is found that the heat recovery ratio is low despites of high regeneration temperature efficiency.
