Abstract

The study was performed to understand combustion characteristics of the slinger combustor. Liquid fuel is discharged radially outwards through injection holes drilled in the high speed rotating shaft. The spray test was peformed to verify atomizing characteristics with variation of fuel nozzle rotational speed by using PDPA system. SMD was measured at different RPM and values are 70$\mu\textrm{m}$ at 5,000RPM rpm, 60$\mu\textrm{m}$ at 10,000RPM and 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ at 20,000RPM. In the results, we found out that SMD is grown smaller with increasing rotational speed. In KARI combustion test facility, Ignition and combustion tests were performed by using combustor test rig. In the test results, ignition and combustion efficiency were improved according to increasing rotational speed. The measured radial temperature distribution at the combustor exit shows stable and fairly good distribution.

슬링거 연소기의 연소특성을 파악하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 연료는 고속으로 회전하는 축의 연료노즐을 통하여 연소기내로 분사된다. 회전분무시스템의 분무특성을 파악하기 위하여 PDPA를 이용하여 연료노즐의 회전속도 변화에 따른 분무입자의 크기를 측정하였다. 연구결과 SMD는 회전수가 5,000RPM일 때 약 70$\mu\textrm{m}$ , 10,000RPM일 때 60$\mu\textrm{m}$ , 20,000RPM일 때 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이었으며 SMD의 크기가 연료 노즐의 회전수가 증가할수록 작아짐을 알 수 있었다. 연소기 시험리그를 제작하여 한국항공우주연구원의 연소시험설비에서 점화 및 연소시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 점화성능 및 연소효율은 연료노즐 회전수에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 연소기출구온도는 매우 균일한 온도분포를 나타내었다.
