Sungkyunkwan University’s research team suggested a method to evaluate the combustion stability for the purpose of developing hydric rocket engine.
The research paper by professor Oh-Chae KWON’s research team has been published on the print version of world renowned journal “Energy”.
The team created a propellant feeder that can provide ultralow temperature liquid oxygen (-183 degrees Celsius) and a high-pressure combustor that can reach 60 atmospheres. Using these devices, the team measured the limit of combustion stability of the hydric propellant.
Using the data, they set a standard of stability and designed an evaluation technique for the engine. This method is highly praised for providing a universal standard that can be used in situations with different variables.
This research was conducted as part of the project under the Ministry of ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea.
