Abstract
본 논문은 하이브리드 로켓 성능향상을 위하여 가스발생기형과 후방 연소형 개념을 결합한 혼합형 하이브리드 로켓을 제안하고 있다. 특히 고체 추진제를 사용하는 기존의 가스발생기와 달리, 고체연료와 액체/기체 산화제를 적용한 혼합식 가스발생기를 제안하였으며 혼합식 가스발생기의 연료과농 연소특성을 확인하기 위하여 연료 길이, 산화제 유량, 연료 내경 그리고 연료 종류를 변화하며 연소가스 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 그러나 이들 인자 변화에 의한 온도변화가 매우 제한적이므로 또 다른 인자로 <TEX>$O_2$</TEX>와 <TEX>$N_2$</TEX>를 혼합한 혼합산화제를 사용하였다. 이때 가스발생기의 연소가스 온도의 요구조건은 1600 K이하로 설정하였으며 연소 시험에서 혼합식 가스발생기는 온도조건을 만족하는 연료과농 연소가스가 생성되었음을 확인하였다. 그러나 온도에 따른 검댕의 발생특성과 다른 이전 연구들에서 제시하는 가스발생기 연소가스 온도 요구조건이 1200 K이하임을 고려할 때, 최종적으로 이 조건을 만족하는 연료과농 연소가스를 생성할 계획이다. In this study, a combined hybrid rocket system is newly introduced which has characteristics of both gas generators and afterburner type hybrid rockets. In particular, a combined gas generator utilizing solid fuel and liquid/gas oxidizer was designed as a primary combustor of the system. Combustion tests were carried out with various equivalence ratio affected by parameters such as fuel length, oxidizer flow rate, fuel port diameter and fuel type. In general, fuel-rich gas generator produces low combustion gas temperature to meet the temperature requirement and the target temperature was transiently set less than 1600 K. Since it was found that controlling parameters showed limited effects on the change of equivalence ratio, mixture of <TEX>$O_2$</TEX> and <TEX>$N_2$</TEX> as an oxidizer was additionally introduced. As a result, a combined gas generator successfully produced combustion gas temperature of less than 1600 K Future studies will carry out more combustion tests to attain fuel-rich combustion gas temperature less than 1200 K, which was a temperature requirement of a gas generator system in the previous studies.
