Abstract

The productivity and demand of porous material has been increasing by development of industry and increasing income. In particular, the fire caused by using wood flour risks wood processing industry and stock farm. The heat transfer of wood flour is carried into the depth direction by effect of oxidizer around flame, flame sometimes is progressed as smoldering. In the case of progressing as combustion fire, identifying the location of fire is difficult, and it leads to failing fire aid fire fighting. Therefore potential cause is acted as raising additional damage. This paper conducts experiments of downward deep seated fire of natural convection conditions. The samples is New Zealand wood flour that is demanded much in the domestic and oversea market. In this experiment, temperature of deep seated side is measure by changing wood flour density in holder The densities used in experiment are 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%. As a result, the tendency of temperature inside decreases as wood flour density increases. But, in the case of density which is above $0.2140g/cm^3$, the phenomenon, decreasing temperature, is not shown. The result of measurement show that average flame spread speed of wood flour is 0.249 mm/min.

산업의 발달과 소득의 증가로 인해 목재와 같은 다공성 물질의 수요 및 생산은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 축산 농가를 비롯한 가공 산업 분야에서 목분의 활용이 증대됨에 따라 화재 위험도 높아지고 있다. 화재 발생시 목분은 깊이 방향으로 연소의 전이가 발생하며 내부 산화제의 소멸에 따라 화염이 없는 훈소로 진행되기도 한다. 훈소로 진행되는 경우는 화원의 위치 파악 곤란으로 초동진화에 실패하여 2차 피해를 키우는 직접적 원인으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 국 내외적으로 수요가 높은 뉴질랜드산 목분을 대상으로 자연대류 상태의 하향식 심부화재를 모사하였다. 본 실험에서는 실험용기 내의 목분의 체적 밀도(3%, 5%, 10%, 15%)를 변화시켜 깊이방향으로 전파되는 심부의 온도를 측정하여, 화원의 전이 속도를 실험적으로 규명하였다. 본 실험의 결과로 목분의 체적 밀도가 증가함에 따라 내부 온도는 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 그러나 목분 밀도체적 $0.2140g/cm^3$ (5%) 이상의 조건에서는 온도의 감소가 발생하지 않음을 실험적으로 규명하였으며 본 실험을 통하여 뉴질랜드산 소나무 목분의 온도 전이속도는 평균 0.249 mm/min의 속도 값을 가짐을 밝혔다.
