In the Republic of Korea, research on staged-combustion cycle liquid propellant rocket engines (LPRE) is proceeding to improve efficiency of rocket engines. Recently oxidizer-rich preburner using single triplex injector is developed in relation to the main injector development and combustion tests have been performed. This preburner is designed to operate in nominal conditions with the combustion pressure of 10 MPa, OF ratio of 60. For a stable ignition, LOx is fed in two steps. Triethylaluminum-Triethylborane (TEAB) is used as hypergolic fuel for ignition, supplied through a fuel injector. Despite the small amount of fuel flow rate and high pressure condition, the combustion pressure was stably maintained around 10 MPa as designed. As a result of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the combustion chamber dynamic pressure, 1L mode frequencies related to the acoustic instability and hydraulic resistance exist in the combustion chamber. But their amplitudes are less than 1% of the combustion pressure and it does not affect the combustion. Therefore combustion test is stably completed. In the near future, coupled tests with uni-element triplex injector preburner and uni-element gas/liquid injector main combustion chamber will be carried out.

Propellant Rocket

There is an increasing trend to liquid-propellant rocket engines which run on eco-friendly storable propellant. This trend is mostly dictated by the refusal to use traditional toxic storable propellant in many countries. The most widespread eco-friendly storable propellant is hydrogen peroxide with kerosene. Though, this propellant has a lower specific impulse in comparison with traditional liquid oxygen with kerosene. To compensate the loss of specific impulse, there is a reason to design a staged combustion engine. Evidently, the turbopump is the most complicated system in the staged combustion propulsion system. This fact makes research devoted to turbo-pumps a top priority. The paper aims to determine the influence of propellant leakage from the pump area into the turbine area and create recommendations which would allow organizing the stable operation of turbopump. As a result of turbopump staged combustion cycle testing, a conclusion had been made that leakage, which opens during the test, significantly influences the stability of turbopump operation. Depending on the amount of leakage, the turbine generated power drop was between 20 and 45%, which led to a decrease in rotation speed and outlet pressure of the pump. During the R&D process, a way of leakage influence elimination had been offered. Formulated recommendations may be used during the design process of the turbopump for staged combustion liquid propulsion systems.
