The ignition characteristics of liquid rocket engine thrust chambers which have been developed by domestic technology were analyzed. Analysis results showed that low frequency fluctuation appeared in a partial ignition range according to different temperature profiles and vaporous state in the oxidizer manifold with startup sequences. This low frequency fluctuation wasn't developed as a malfunction factor, but this fluctuation is thought to be taken a continuous concern considering interfaces with engine system and launch vehicle.

Many countries set growth engine technologies and industries for economic growth and job creation. Each country always wants to know their technological or industrial position in the world in these industries. This study aims at identifying the worldwide position of 19 growth engine industries defined in Korean government. The methods are quantitative by counting the number of startup companies in the world. The ORBIS database was used to extract the number. Therefore, this article may be the first research for the world appearance of growth engine industries and its comparison between world and G7, and between G7 countries. Also, this may be the first study using the ORBIS database on the analysis of certain technology industries. Further, we showed a method to identify world features of technology industries.

The ignition characteristics of liquid rocket engine thrust chambers which have been developed by domestic technology were analyzed through hot-firing tests. Thrust chambers used in hot-firing tests have different characteristics in terms of the injector for ignition, film cooling method and the position of the oxidizer inlet. Also, these thrust chambers used their respective startup sequences. Analysis results showed that according to temperature profiles of the oxidizer manifold, low frequency fluctuation was appeared in ignition area. This low frequency fluctuation didn't give rise to violent malfunction of the thrust chamber, but the continuous observation as a concern parameter in the side of interfaces with engine system and launch vehicle should be demanded.

When a liquid rocket engine is started the oxidizer and fuel must be flowed into combustion chamber and gas generator with time differences. The wrong time difference between propellants or malfunction of ignition device can occur the explosion of combustion chamber due to detonation by energized premixed-propellants. Therefore it is important to observe the transient characteristic of propellants or to measure the inflow time of propellants into combustion chamber and gas generator. The measurement of static pressure is not enough to observe the propellants inflow time into combustion chamber and gas generator. By measuring dynamic pressure of main flow passage of propellants the accurate propellants inflow time could be investigated.

Entrepreneurship has been considered as an engine to lead economy, which has been resulting in a focus on entrepreneurship education to promote entrepreneurship. This paper focuses on science and engineering students, and analyzes the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship level. The response results of 950 students (34 universities) were as follows. First, the entrepreneurship level of science and engineering students are a little high but not as significant more than non-science and engineering. Second, science and engineering students have an impact on the level of entrepreneurship about entrepreneurship courses. Third, entrepreneurship courses and clubs have an effect on entrepreneurship level. As a conclusion, we have to improve the quality of entrepreneurship education, recognize startup as a credit, and build up entrepreneurship education ecosystem through the local area network.

This study fulfilled analysis of startup characteristics of Turbo pump unit-Gas generator open loop test from the viewpoint of simulation. The test results were investigated and the calculated results were compared to test results. The curve for RPM developing predicted by simulation agreed well with test result. The slope of transient combustion pressure of gas generator correspond with test result.

As a development test of the 75-tonf LOx/Kerosene liquid rocket engine for KSLV-II first Stage Engine, hot firing test of 75-tonf engine are performed. The current status of development test on first stage 75-tonf engine system including combustion chamber, turbopump, gas generator, propellant supply system are presented. During the 75tonf engine test campaign, the development of startup sequence of LOx-Kerosene engine system, engine startup using pyrostarter, ignition of gas generator, steady operation and engine shutdown is successfully performed. As a passenger test during engine hot firing tests, Thrust Vector Control system (TVC) of the engine are also evaluated during engine hot firing test. The results of hot firing test of 75-tonf thrust engine system will be used for the design confirmation and performance evaluation of 75 tonf engine system for KSLV-II first Stage.

Thermal and structural finite element analyses were performed for the turbopump turbine bladed disk model with shroud of a liquid rocket engine. The only 1/80 part model was analyzed which consists of 3D eight node isoparametric solid elements. The applied loading history consists of a startup condition with a thermal spike and a steady state. Heat transfer coefficient on the blade was predicted using the commercial Navier-Stokes solver, Fluent. Transient thermal responses during startup and steady states were calculated using a 3D finite element code developed. Maximum stress and shroud tip displacement under the influence of centrifugal and thermal loading were also determined.
