본 연구에서는 화재시 대규모 피해가 우려되는 승용차 밀집 공간을 가정하여 인접한 승용차로의 화재 전파 특성을 파악하기 위한 실물화재 실험을 실시하였다. 실험은 인접한 두 대의 승용차중 한 대의 차량에 화재를 발생시켜 화재가 성장되고 전파되는 과정을 분석하였으며, 산소소모율법을 적용한 발열량 측정이 동시에 이루어 졌다. 측정 결과 최대 열방출율은 약 9MW로 측정되어 선행된 승용차 한 대의 측정 발열량보다 약 2.5배이상 높은 범위의 값으로 평가되었다. 특히, 인접된 승용차로의 전파는 화재 발생후 약 3분 30초 경과후 창문으로 출화된 화염에 의하여 옆 차량에 화재가 전파되기 시작하였으며, 15분 경과후 완전히 화재가 전이되어 발달되었다. 따라서, 밀폐된 주차장에서의 화재시 발생초기에 가연 공간에서 화재가 진화가 이루어지지 않으면 약 3분 내에 다른 차량으로의 화재 전파가 우려 되며, 이후 급격한 피해를 줄 수 있는 상태로 화재가 성장하기 때문에 신속한 초기 대응이 필요함을 확인하였다. 이러한 실물화재실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 여러 수치해석의 입력 조건으로 활용이 가능할 것이며, 화재 안전 설비 계획에 기본 자료로서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

우주발사체와 발사지원설비를 연결하여 추진제 공급과 전기신호 송수신 등을 가능하게 하는 메커니즘을 엄브리칼 장치라고 한다. 국내 우주발사체의 경우 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하며, 질소, 공기 및 헬륨 등의 가스를 밸브구동, 공간 퍼지, 추진제 가압에 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 우주센터의 발사대설비에 적용된 엄브리칼 장치 중 추진제 및 고압가스 공급을 위한 자동체결장치(auto coupling device)의 구성, 기능 및 발사 준비를 위한 프로세스에 대해 기술하고 있다. 자동체결장치는 발사체 하부 두 곳에 연결되며, 산화제 공급측의 체결장치(coupling device 1)와 연료 공급측의 체결장치(CD 2)로 구성된다. 이 장치는 발사체와의 접촉면에서 기밀을 확보한 상태에서 내부의 탱크, 밸브, 인터스테이지 등에 추진제 및 각종 가스를 공급하는 통로역할을 하며, 발사준비가 완료된 후에는 발사체 이륙 전 또는 이륙과 동시에 발사체로부터 자동으로 분리된다. 각각의 체결장치 구성품으로는 발사체 이륙시 발생하는 고온의 화염으로부터 장치를 보호하는 PD(protective device), 접촉면에 기밀을 제공하고 추진제 누출을 방지는 MCP(multi-channel plate), 접촉면을 보호하기 위한 덮게, 각종 연결 배관의 전진과 후진을 위한 캐리지, 발사체와의 체결을 지지하는 그립 등이 있다. 발사 준비를 위해서 사전에 장치의 독립운용시험을 통해 각 구성품의 상태와 기능을 점검하고 장치의 작동성을 검증한다. 이후 발사체를 모사하는 기체 및 관제설비와 종합적으로 연계 시험과 모사시험을 수행하여 최종적으로 발사준비상태를 확인하게 된다. 이러한 자동체결장치의 운용 경험은 한국형발사체의 지상지원설비 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

It has been studied the effect of mixture ratio and chamber pressure on variations of discharge coefficients. Combustion experiments of bi-liquid swirl coaxial injectors were conducted at fuel-rich conditions with liquid oxygen and kerosene. Using two types of injectors for the experiments, characteristics of the discharge coefficient have been identified from variations in a diameter of the fuel nozzle and a momentum ratio along with the change of a LOx spray angle. It is concluded that discharge coefficients do not vary because of no change of flame structures from the fact that the fuel swirl chamber is completely filled up with fuel flow.

화염가수분해증착법에 의해 형성된 $0.1\mu\textrm{m}$크기의 soot를 실리콘 기판위에 형성하여 $1325^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 고밀화과정후 투명한 후막을 얻을 수 있었다. 고밀화 열처리는 탈수과정, 재배열 과정, 그리고 고밀화 과정으로 구성되었다. 고밀화 공정후의 두께 수축률은 초기 soot의 96%정도였으며, 급속한 두께의 감소는 $950^{\circ}C$부터 시작되었으며, 본격적인 고밀화가 시작되는 온도는 $1250^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었다. soot의 TGA와 DTA를 이용한 열분석 결과 탈수과정에 의하여 9/wt%의 질량감소와 $1250^{\circ}C$이상에서 인(P)의 증발에 의한 2wt%의 질량감소를 관찰하였다. DTA곡선에서는 $500^{\circ}C$, $570^{\circ}C$. $1258^{\circ}C$에서 흡열반응 피크를 나타내는데, 이는 $B_{2}$$O_{3}$, $P_{2}$$O_{5}$ 등의 도펀트들의 melting과 실리카 입자사이의 기공이 소멸되면서 입자간의 열전도도의 증가에 의해 나타난 것으로 판단된다.

This paper explains fire safety tests of a hybrid composite train carbody with carbon/epoxy sandwich bodyshell and stainless steel underframe. In this study, a large scale mock-up was used to evaluate the fire safety of the composite train carbody. The test was conducted to the bare composite carbody mock-up without interior facilities and the fully equipped one. Tile fire propagation and temperature distribution of the carbon/epoxy bodyshell and the glass phenol interior panels was evaluated under the real fire accident scenario. The test scenario was based on the DaeGu subway fire accident. From the tests, both the surface temperature of the interiors and the composite bodyshell wore lower than tile ignition temperature. In addition, the fire spread along the surface of the interiors and bodyshell was not occurred.

A numerical simulation has been performed for isothermal and reacting flows in an exisymmetric, bluff-body research combustor. The present formulation is based on the density-weighted averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with a k-epsilon. turbulence model and a modified eddy-breakup combustion model. The PISO algorithm is employed for solution of thel Navier-Stokes system. Comparison between measurements and predictions are made for a centerline axial velocities, location of stagnation points, strength of recirculation zone, and temperature profile. Even though the numerical simulation gives acceptable agreement with experimental data in many respects, the present model is defictient in predicting the recoveryt rate of a central near-wake region, the non-isotropic turbulence effects, and variation of turbulent Schmidt number. Several possible explanations for these discrepancies have been discussed.

This study was performed by using an LFR (laminar flow reactor), which can be used to carry out different types of research on coal. In this study, an LFR was used to analyze coal flames, tar and soot yields, and structures of chars for two coals depending on their volatile content. The results show that the volatile content and oxygen concentration have a significant effect on the length and width of the soot cloud and that the length and width of the cloud under combustion conditions are less than those under a pyrolysis atmosphere. At sampling heights until 50 mm, the tar and soot yields of Berau (sub-bituminous) coal, which contains a large amount of volatile matter, are less than those of Glencore A.P. (bituminous) coal because tar is oxidized by the intrinsic oxygen component of coal and by radicals such as OH-. On the other hand, at sampling heights above 50 mm, the tar and soot yields of Berau coal are higher than those of Glencore A.P. coal by reacted residual volatile matter, tar and light gas in char and flame. With above results, it is confirmed that the volatile matter content and the intrinsic oxygen component in a coal are significant parameters for length and width of the soot cloud and yields of the soot. In addition, the B.E.T. results and the images of samples (SEM) obtained from the particle separation system of the sampling probe support the above results pertaining to the yields; the results also confirm the pore development on the char surface caused by devolatilization.

There has been increasing concern regarding misuse of disinfectants and sanitizers such as ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrogen peroxide for food contact surfaces in the food industry. Examining the efficacy of the concentration of currently used disinfectants and sanitizers is urgently required in the Korean society. This study aimed to develop predictive reduction models for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in suspension, as a function of $ClO_2$ (chlorine dioxide) and contact time using response surface methodology. E. coli ATCC 10536 and S. aureus ATCC 6538 (initial inoculum, 8-9 log CFU/mL) in tryptic soy broth were treated with different concentrations of $ClO_2$ (5, 20, and 35 ppm) for different contact times (1, 3, and 5 min) following a central composite design. The polynomial reduction models for $ClO_2$ on E. coli and S. aureus were developed under the clean condition. E. coli reduction by 35 ppm $ClO_2$ for 1, 3, and 5 min was 2.49, 2.70, and 3.65 log CFU/mL, respectively. Also, S. aureus reduction by 35 ppm $ClO_2$ for 1, 3, and 5 min was 4.59, 5.25, and 5.81 log CFU/mL, respectively. The predictive response polynomial models developed were $R=0.43231-0.056492^*X_1-0.097771^*X_2+9.24167E-003^*X_1^*X_2+3.06333E-003^*X_1{^2}$ ($R^2=0.98$) on E. coli and $R=1.10542-0.20896^*X_1-0.046062^*X_2+8.30000E-003^*X_1^*X_2+8.73300E-003^*X_1{^2}$ ($R^2=0.99$) on S. aureus, where R was the bacterial reduction (log CFU/mL), $X_1$ was the concentration and $X_2$ was the contact time. Our predictive reduction models should be validated in developing the optimal concentration and contact time of $ClO_2$ for inhibiting E. coli and S. aureus on food contact surfaces.

A commercial HVOF torch (originally designed for coating applications) has been modified as a high temperature flow source for material testing. In this study, a water cooled commercial Gardon gauge was used to measure heat fluxes at four locations away from the nozzle exit. The cooling water temperature data were used to calculate calorimetric heat fluxes at the same locations. The heat fluxes from both methods were compared and the calorimetric heat fluxes were found to be many times higher than the Gardon gauge heat fluxes. A hypothesis is applied to the calorimetric method to understand the discrepancy seen between the methods. The Gardon gauge heat fluxes are seen to be in the range of the hypothesized calorimetric calculations. This can be considered as a considerable validation for the hypothesis, but further refinement needed using appropriate numerical models.

The high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying coating technique has been considered a promising replacement for traditional electrolytic hard chrome plating (EHC), which caused environmental pollution and lung cancer due to toxic Cr⁶⁺. In this paper, two types of cermet coatings were prepared by HVOF spraying: WC-CoCr and WC-CrC-Ni coatings. The produced coatings were analyzed extensively in terms of the micro-hardness, porosity, crystalline phase and microstructure using a hardness tester, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (including energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS)), respectively. The wear and friction behaviors of the coatings were evaluated comparatively by reciprocating sliding wear tests at 25 ℃, 250 ℃, and 450 ℃. The results revealed correlations among the microstructures, metallic binder matrixes, porosities, and wear performance of the coatings. For example, WC-CoCr coatings showed better sliding wear resistance than WC-CrC-Ni coatings, regardless of the test temperature due to the more homogeneous microstructure, Co-rich, Cr-rich metallic binder matrix, and lower porosity.
