Abstract

In recent years hydrogen peroxide has become considerably more attractive as a green rocket propellant so a laboratory model of hydrogen peroxide thruster adopted silver catalyst and a test facility has been developed to research a hydrogen peroxide propulsion. The design scheme of thruster and the test data are presented including ignition delay, efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity. As a result, 95% of efficiency of characteristic exhaust velocity was obtained at steady state operation condition.

최근에 친환경 로켓 추진제로 과산화수소가 새로운 관심을 받게 됨에 따라 이에 대한 연구를 수행하기 위해 은을 촉매로 사용한 과산화수소 단일추진제 추력기와 시험설비를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 설계 제작된 추력기와 시험설비를 소개하고, 점화시험을 통해 연소실 압력 및 온도, 점화지연 시간, 특성 배기속도 등의 추력기 성능을 분석하였다. 점화시험 결과 정상상태 운전조건에서 95%까지의 높은 특성배기속도 효율을 확인하였다.
