Flash point is the important flammability indicator characterizing the risk of fire and explosion of flammable liquid mixture. In this study, flash points of water+formic acid and water+acrylic acid were measured by Seta flash apparatus. The flash points estimated by the methods based on empirical equation and Raoult's law were compared with experimental flash points. Absolute average errors of the results estimated by Raoult's law are $10.7^{\circ}C$ and $4.8^{\circ}C$ for water+formic acid and water+acrylic acid, respectively. Absolute average errors of the results estimated by empirical equation are $1.0^{\circ}C$ and $0.5^{\circ}C$ for water+formic acid and water+acrylic acid, respectively. In conclusion, the estimated values by empirical equation simulated the measured values better than those calculated by Raoult's law.

In order to guarantee safe storage and transportation of a flammable liquid solution, it is very important to know its flash point information. In this paper, flash points of n-octane+n-nonane system and n-nonane+n-decane system were measured by Seta flash apparatus and an empirical equation is proposed for the accurate estimation of flash point. Empirical equation is used to predict flash point of n-octane+n-nonane system and n-nonane+n-decane system, which were also compared to Unifac-based model. Absolute average errors of flash point data predicted by Unifac-based model are 0.7℃ and 0.6℃ for n-octane+n-nonane system and n-nonane+n-decane system, respectively. Absolute average errors of flash point data predicted by empirical equation are 0.2℃ and 0.4℃ for n-octane+n-nonane system and n-nonane+n-decane system, respectively. In conclusion, empirical equation proposed in this paper, presented the most satisfactory.

Flammable materials used in semiconductor supply facilities are manufactured at high temperatures and high pressures, and as the semiconductor industry becomes more sophisticated and larger, the amount of materials used is rapidly increasing. Recently, fires and explosions occurred during the handling of acetic acid, which is a raw material for making products in the semiconductor material manufacturing process. Overall problems such as lack of air inflow prevention for fire and explosion prevention were identified. Therefore, in this study, in order to accurately identify the cause of the accident and prevent fire and explosion that may occur in the process of handling large amounts of flammable liquids, opinions from various perspectives, such as construction of facilities such as hoppers, installation of AOPS components, and change in workers' perceptions would like to present.

Although hydrazine is an excellent liquid propellant, caution is required during storage and handling due to its high toxicity and reactivity. Safety guidelines should be established in consideration of the chemical reactivity by unintended leakage. In this study, the status of hydrazine facilities at launch site and safety standards for storing and handling were investigated and then, the reactivity between chemicals and hydrazine was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, hydrazine has reactivity with the exception of fuel oil. This paper emphasizes the imperative nature of constructing a dedicated hydrazine storage facility. Ensuring compatibility between hydrazine and the materials used in storage containers and handling equipment is crucial to prevent undesired reactions that could compromise safety. It was intended to be used as basic data to secure the range safety when handling hydrazine.

Activated carbon is a carbonaceous material mainly used as a gaseous or liquid adsorbent. As fire-related accidents occur consistently due to the accumulation of heat of adsorption and oxidation of volatile organic compounds, the explosive characteristics and thermal stability of powdered and granular activated carbon made from coal and coconut shells were evaluated. As a result of the particle size analysis, the powdered activated carbon was in the particle size range (0.4~3) ㎛, and thermal properties such as exothermic onset temperature and decomposition behavior were analyzed using a differential scanning calorimetry and a thermogravimetric analysis. As a result of the evaluation of the explosion hazards for dust, both coal-based and coconut-based powdered activated carbon are classified as St1 class with weak explosion, but this is a relative and does not mean that the explosion hazards is absolutely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish countermeasures for reducing the damage.

As DME (Dimethyl ether) is the one of the future possible massive energy sources synthesized from natural gas, KOGAS has been doing to obtain overseas resources to meet the domestic needs. and tried to build new DME FPSO ship. This paper presents that it can help for the DME storage tank designers and storage management engineers doing proper work by understood the evaporation phenomena and pressure change of DME by thermal intake in storage tank. The experimental result shows that the evaporation rate and pressure are increased with higher liquid filling level. The proper DME liquid filling level in tank is obtained as lower than full 98% volume of tank in case of storing longer than a day, because the pressure is increased rapidly with full 98% filled level of storage tank.

은분말은 전자 산업에 있어 후막 도체 페이스트의 제조를 위해 사용되어지고 있다. 후막 페이스트는, 기재상에 스크린 프린트되고, 전도성의 회로 패턴을 형성한다. 이러한 회로는, 다음에 건조, 소성되고 액체 유기 비이클을 휘발 시키고, 그리고 은 입자를 소결시킨다. 프린트 회로 기술은 점점 고밀도이면서 더욱 정밀한 전자 회로를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 요건에 적합하기 위하여 도선은 폭이 점점 좁아지고, 선의 사이의 거리가 점점 작아지고 있다. 고밀도가 조밀하게 꽉 찬 좁은 선을 위하여 은 분말은 가능한 크기가 단일하고 구형의 형태를 가져야 한다. 현재 금속 분말을 제조하는 방법으로는 화학적 환원법, 무화 또는 분쇄, 열분해법등의 물리적 과정 및 전기 화학적 과정 등이있다. 본 연구에서는 입도 분포가 좁은 구형의 은 분말을 제조하기 위하여 기상법의 하나인 분무열분해법을 도입하였다. 또한 싸이클론을 사용하므로 큰 액적들을 걸러 입도 분포를 줄였다. 은 분말의 프리커서로써는 AgNO$_3$를 사용하였고 반응기의 온도는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 100$0^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰으며 운반기체로써는 5%H$_2$ 혼합가스로 20L/min에서 80L/min 변화시켜 은 분말을 제조하였다. 또한 용액의 농도는 0.2M에서 1.0M까지 변화시켰다. 용액의 농도가 0.2M이고 운반기체의 유랑이 40L/min일 경우 완전한 은 상이 관찰되었고, 입자의 크기는 약 600nm였다.

Empirical model, phenomenological model, and CFD model have been used to evaluate the blast effects produced by explosion of explosives, flammable gas and liquid or dust. TNT equivalence method which is one of empirical models has been widely used as it is simple. In this study, new peak overpressure-scaled distance and scaled impulse-scaled distance equations are induced through fitting data from the curves given by TNT equivalence method. If the TNT equivalent mass is calculated, it is possible to estimate the peak overpressure and impulse using the regression equations. Differences of peak overpressure with yield factor which is a component of TNT equivalence method are found to be great in near-by distances from explosion source where the increase in overpressure is very steep, but the differences are getting smaller as the distances increase.

로켓 엔진 시스템에는 가압가스로 추진제를 엔진으로 공급하는 가압 시스템과 터보펌프를 이용해 엔진으로 고압의 추진제를 공급하는 터보펌프 시스템으로 나눌 수 있으며 터보펌프 시스템은 다시 Gas Generator를 이용하는 개방형 엔진과 Prebumer를 이용한 폐쇄형 엔진인 다단 엔진으로 구분할 수 있다. 로켓의 엔진 시스템은 Turbine, Turbopump, Gas Generator, Thrust Chamber, Tube, Valve, Propellant Tank 등 각 구성품 간에 서로 상호간섭이 매우 심한 공정이다 로켓 엔진 시스템은 이와 같은 상호간섭에 의해 추력 제어 및 혼합비 제어, 추진제 소진 제어 적용 시 정확하고 강인한 제어를 수행하여야 한다. 이를 위해 정확한 동특성 모델을 구축하는 것이 중요하며 모델을 통해 적절한 제어 시스템을 선택하여야 한다. 그러나 현재 국내에는 이에 대한 연구가 미미하며 해외의 경우 로켓은 특수 분야에 속함으로 공개되어 있지 않다. 로켓에 대한 개발 연구에 있어서는 위와 같은 작업이 선행되어야 하며 이에 대한 선행 연구로 한국항공우주연구원에서 Gas Generator를 이용한 개방형 터보펌프 엔진 시스템에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Gas Generator를 이용한 개방형 터보펌프 엔진시스템에 대한 동특성 모델을 구성하였다. 배관부, 터빈, 펌프, 밸브, Gas Generator, 재생냉각, 추력연소실 등 엔진 시스템을 구성하는 구성품에 대한 동특성 모델을 구성하였으며 이를 matlab의 simulink를 통해 각 구성품을 연결하여 최종 엔진시스템의 동특성 모델을 구성하였다. 구성된 동특성 모델을 통해 각종 변화(추진제 밀도 변화, 추력 변화, 혼합비 변화 등)에 대한 엔진 시스템 변화를 예측하여 정확한 엔진 시스템에 대한 이해를 넓혔으며 추력 제어 및 혼합비, 추진제 소진 제어를 최적으로 할 수 있는 제어 시스템 구축을 위한 기초 자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.
