Emergency batteries on board are used for stairs, pathway lights, and emergency communications during alternator black-out. In addition, there are engine start-up batteries in lifeboats. Typically, these batteries are installed under the Classification Rules. However, Since batteries inside life boats are installed in a confined narrow space, it is difficult to perform regular maintenances. Also, even though there are air vents in the life boat, the temperature inside the life boat often reaches above $65^{\circ}C$, which is much higher than the regulation temperature, $45^{\circ}C$. In this paper, we will summarize the accident of battery explosion occurred in MMU training ship, and possible causes. We will propose preventive measures of battery explosions as well as the revision of the regulation.

The flash point is one of the most important indicators of the flammabiliy of liquid solutions. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there is enough concentration of flammable vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. In this study the flash points of binary flammable solutions, 2-propanol+propionic acid and n-hexanol+formic acid systems, were measured using Seta flash closed cup tester. Particularly n-hexanol+formic acid system exhibited minimum flash point behavior. The measured values were compared with the calculated values using Raoult's law and optimization method. The calculated data by optimization method described the measured values more effectively than those calculated by Raoult's law.

In our study, a closed-type penetration unit for standard penetration test (SPT) equipment was developed in order to operate in an underwater environment. This type causes energy dissipation, mainly due to the small gap between an airtight case and moving hammer. The dissipation was estimated through a CFD analysis. The computed dissipated energy was less than 1.2% compared to the potential energy of the hammer with the given gap. Subsequently, the impact energy of the underwater SPT equipment was within 1.2% of that for the SPT equipment on land.

In these days, the gas or kerosene boiler was usually used as heating system. This study was carried out to investigate the merits of X-L pipe boiler with electric heat line that was specially manufactured. The electric heat line was inserted into inside of X-L pipe and voltage was impressed to electric heat line and, as a result, temperature of X-L pipe filled with heat medium was increased. As changing the number of electric heat line and voltage, the characteristics of X-L pipe boiler and its mechanism on heat generation were studied. Furthermore, the economical efficiency was evaluated by comparing heating cost of X-L pipe boiler with those of kerosene boiler and natural gas boiler, respectively. As the results, it was confirmed that heating cost of X-L pipe boiler was showed as 28% of kerosene boiler and 58% of natural gas boiler.

This study was aimed to develop an instrument for real-time measurement of fluid conductance and to investigate the hydrodynamics of dentinal fluid. The instrument consisted of three parts; (1) a glass capillary and a photo sensor for detection of fluid movement, (2) a servo-motor, a lead screw and a ball nut for tracking of fluid movement, (3) a rotary encoder and software for data processing. To observe the blocking effect of dentinal fluid movement, oxalate gel and self-etch adhesive agent were used. BisBlock (Bisco) and Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) were applied to the occlusal dentin surface of extracted human teeth. Using this new device, the fluid movement was measured and compared between before and after each agent was applied. The instrument was able to measure dentinal fluid movement with a high resolution (0.196 nL) and the flow occurred with a rate of 0.84 to 15.2 nL/s before treatment. After BisBlock or Clearfil SE Bond was used, the fluid movement was decreased by 39.8 to 89.6%.

Quartz Crystal Microbalance(QCM)은 표면에 묻은 물질의 미량의 무게변화도 간단히 측정 할 수 있어 반웅기 내에서 일어나는 현상올 in-situ로 즉시 알 수 있는 장점을 가진 장치이 다. 이 장치를 이용하면 초엄계 이산화탄소 내에서 용해도를 알 수 있고, 대상물질이 녹아냐 가는 속도를 측정하면 확산계수를 구할 수 있다. 그리고, 초음파 혼을 반응용기 내에 설치하 고, 초음파 효과를 알아보았다. 먼저 static system에서 초음파 효과를 알아보았다. Cu(acac)2를 대상으로, 밀폐된 용기에서 수행한 실험에서, 액체와 초임계 이산화탄소 내에서 용해속도를 QCM으로 구할 수 있었다. 용해속도로부터 Cu(acac)2의 확산계수를 측정할 수 있었다. 액체 내에선 $10^{-4}{\;}cm2/sec$, 초임계상태에서 $10^{-2}{\;}cm2/sec$의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타 났다. 그리고, 초음파를 사용할 경우 이 확산계수값이 4-5배정도 증가하는 것으로 냐타났다. 이어서 dynamic system에서 반응을 알아보았다. Cyanex를 함유한 C02를 반응용기에 흘리 면서 QCM표면에 묻은 Co이온의 용해속도를 측정하였다. 초음파는 용해도에 아무 역활을 안하는 것으로 나타났다. 주어진 조건에서 13 microgram/gram-cyanex의 용해도를 갖는 것 으로 나타났다.

GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) 가스구획은 SF6 가스와 강화 에폭시로 만들어진 스페이서를 통해 절연 성능을 유지하고 있는데, 초기 설치 시 조립 오류로 인한 부유 물질이나 철 파편 등에 의한 절연 파괴 및 GIS의 장시간 운전에 따른 열화에 의한 절연 파괴로 아크 사고가 발생한다. 그러나 GIS는 가스로 밀폐된 타입이므로 열화 현상으로 생성되는 이물질 또는 균열에 의한 내부 절연 파괴 현상(내부 아크)을 정확히 알 수 없을 뿐 아니라 사고 위치를 확인하기 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수동 광소자 방식을 이용하여 GIS 내부 아크발생 시 정확한 탐지 및 위치 표정이 가능하며, GIS 내부에서 발생되는 아크를 바로 제거하고 반복적인 아크가 발생되지 않도록 보호계전기에 의한 GIS의 재폐로 동작을 차단 할 수 있는 GIS 아크탐지 장치를 소개한다.

본 논문은 전기사업법 제61조의 공사계획인가 및 신고대상인 차단기에 대하여 동법 제63조에 의거해 실시하는 사용전검사의 항목 및 검사수행 방법에 대하여 서술하였다. 차단기는 전력계통을 이상전압에서 보호하기 위한 밀폐형 개폐장치로서 전기사업용 전기설비인 변전소에 설치되는 차단기는 대부분 GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear)화 되고 있는 실정이다. GIS는 정상전류의 차단, 설비사고의 억제 및 파급사고 확산방지에 중추적인 역할을 수행하고 있기 때문에 그 중요성은 더욱 더 높아지고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 핵심 전력설비인 GIS의 사용전 검사항목 및 검사수행 방법을 고찰함으로써 안정적인 전력공급과 전력계통의 신뢰도 제고에 기여하고자 한다.

The flash points and the fire points are one of the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of flammable substances. In this study, the flash points of aromatic hydrocarbons, were measured by using Pensky-Martens Closed Cup apparatus(ASTM-D93) and Tag Open-Cup apparatus(ASTM D 1310-86). Also the fire points of aromatic hydrocarbons, were measured by using Tag Open-Cup apparatus. The measured flash points were in good agreement with reference values. The measured fire points compared with the estimated values based on 1.23 times stoichiometric concentration. The values calculated by the proposed equation were in agreement with measured values.
