여러가지 연소특성들은 가연성물질의 취급함에 있어 밸브조작실수, 배관접합부 파손. 저장 및 수송의 부주의로 주위에 공기와 혼합되면 화재 및 폭발이 발생할 수 있는 잠재적 위험성을 평가할 수 있다. 여러 연소특성 가운데 폭발(연소)한계(explosive (flammable) limits)는 가연성물질(가스 및 증기)을 다루는 화학공정에 있어 설계시 고려해야 할 가장 중요한 변수로써, 발화원이 존재할 때 가연성가스와 공기가 혼합하여 일정 농도 범위내에서만 연소가 이루어지는 혼합범위를 말한다. (중략)

본 논문에서는 소규모 공간을 규정하였다. 광의의 소규모 공간이란 바닥 면적이 $300m^2$ 미만으로서 소방관련법 상 소화설비 설치대상에서 제외되는 공간에 해당한다. 또한 협의의 개념으로 소방관련법 상 소화설비 설치대상에 해당하나 바닥 면적이 $300m^2$ 미만 중에 소화설비 설치가 제외되는 공간과 피트공간과 그 밖의 소방관련법 상 소화설비 설치대상에 포함되지 아니하는 주방을 의미한다. 소규모 공간이지만 사용 용도가 창고 등과 겸용으로 사용되어 화재하중을 예상하기 어려우며 소화설비가 요구되는 공간이다. 본 연구는 다양한 화재원인 중에 전기화재에 관한 것으로 전기설비의 안전성능 기준이 강화되고 제품의 질적 수준이 향상됨에 따라 발화요인별 화재 발생률이 다소 둔화되고 있으나 전기화재는 여전히 화재사고의 상당한 부분을 차지하고 있는 실정으로 소규모에서 발생할 수 있는 화재를 대상으로 하여 구획된 소공간유형의 EPS실에서 케이블 등의 가연성물질에 대한 화재위험성을 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 산정하였다.

As a college dormitory has the features of high dwelling density and a floating population that becomes crowded during particular times, when a disaster such as a fire occurs, it has the risk of causing much loss of life. In this study, the fire simulation program Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), is used to predict the risk when a fire occurs, to analyze the problem, and to suggest an improvement plan for a new cadet dormitory at an university in Korea. The research results are as follows. When a fire occurred in the ironing room inside the cadet dormitory, a smoke detector operated after 65 seconds. Thirteen seconds later, a sprinkler started to operate. The temperature and carbon monoxide density reached the limit value at 241 and 248 seconds, respectively. Because the limit visibility value was reached within 66 seconds after the occurrence of a fire, it is predicted that preparation must be finished and evacuation should begin within 1 minute after the fire occurs, in order to have no casualties. Synthesizing this dormitory fire risk prediction result, the visibility value is considered to be the most dangerous factor for personal safety. Because of this, installing a smoke extraction system is suggested to secure visibility. After the installation of a smoke extraction system, the problem of smoke diffusion in the corridors improved.

The lung diseases classifying as one of the six incurable diseases in modern days are caused mostly by smoking and air pollution. Such causes the lung function damages, and results in malfunction of the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in an alveolus, which the interest is augment with risk diseases of life prolongation. With this in the paper, we proposed a diagnosis method of lung diseases by applying parameters of voice analysis aiming at the getting the voice feature extraction. Firstly, we sampled the voice data from patients and normal persons in the same age and sex, and made two sample groups from them. Also, we conducted an analysis by applying the various parameters of voice analysis through the collected voice data. The relational significance between the patient and normal groups can be evaluated in terms of speech rates and intensity as a part of analized parameters. In conclusion, the patient group has shown slower speech rates and bigger intensity than the normal group. With this, we propose the method of voice feature extraction for lung diseases.

The minimum ignition temperature at which the dust cloud can spontaneously ignite is considered to be very important in industries to prevent explosion occurring in hot surfaces. This paper has dealt with the experimental study of the determination of minimum ignition temperature of Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) dust cloud. We have used the Godbert-Greenwald Furnace Apparatus to determine the ignition temperature and limiting oxyten concentration for dust could. The experimental determinations on the minimum ignition temperature were carried out with various particle size with nominal diameters 45, 75 and 106${\mu}m$. The limiting oxygen concentration of dust cloud was determinated for the smaller size(45${\mu}m$) HPMC. Minimum ignition temperature of dust cloud was at 364$^{\circ}C$ for the concentration of 2.5g/L in the air and became higher with the increasing of nitrogen concentration. It was also found that the ignition didn't occur when the oxygen concentration was below 10%, and limiting oxygen concentration is at 11%.

On the construction site, there exists frequently a high likelihood that a fire accident can lead to a large-scale disaster. In the previous studies, the diverse outcomes have been focused on the improvement of relative statutes and tried to realize the suppression and confrontation of the fire accidents. In this study, the limitations on the site were identified through prior research reviews, and the fire risk assessment checklist was proposed through the analysis of the massive accident cases. The checklist was divided into the prevention and minimization steps and developed into 16 categories of total risk factors. According to the results from the cases applied in this study, if the installation status is checked, such as removing combustibles, and broadcasting facilities for evacuation are installed, it is expected that the casualties will be minimized or zeroed. By developing a fire risk assessment checklist, this study provides the implications of the theoretical and realistic fire accident prevention, and supports the ways to minimize the damage resulted from the fire accidents on construction sites. In the further, deriving universe and common items about repeated occurrences of a work type will be needed as a subsequent research.

본 논문에서는 전기기구 접속부에서 발생되는 화재위험성을 분석하고자 일반적으로 전기기기에 사용되는 KIV($1.25\;mm^2$, 50가닥)전선을 사용하여, 인위적인 손상을 주어 길이 5 mm, 9 mm, 15 mm에 각각 소선수(50, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1가닥)를 가진 반단선 시료를 제작하고, 제작된 시료에 차단기나 퓨즈 등 전기적인 안전장치가 동작하지 않는 정상전류(4 A, 8 A, 12 A, 16 A)를 300초간 인가한 후, 열화상카메라를 이용하여 반단선의 온도특성 및 발화가능성을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the thermal characteristics and to study fire hazard of electric leakage by iron power accumulated on circuit breaker in an iron processing factory. The thermal characteristics were analyzed while current was applied to the powder for ten minutes. Results showed that temperature of iron powder at 100 mA is $160^{\circ}C$ and at 175mA is $240^{\circ}C$. The sparks have occurred as iron powder drops between two(hot line and neutral line) wires and then iron powder explosion occurred while dropping continuously the iron powder on two lines. Those who work in the iron processing industry need to periodically remove and maintain the iron powder. The thermal characteristics in this paper can be used for electrical fire investigation and for basic data of thermal characteristic of leakage current through iron powder at iron processing factories.

2007년도 사고설비별 전기화재 발생현황을 살펴보면 전기 화재중 전기배선 및 배선기구에서 발화한 화재가 2,875건으로 전기화재 발생 중 31.5%를 점유하였다. 또한 사고전압별 전기화재 발생현황으로 220/380V에서 화재가 7,229건(79.2%)으로 전기화재의 대부분을 점유하였다. 전기화재는 단락, 과전류, 접촉불량, 트래킹 등 9가지로 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 전기로부터 재해를 막기위하여 누전차단기나 배선용차단기를 사용하여 일부의 전기화재 원인을 차단할 수 있으나 차단기 자체에서 발생하는 원인에 대하여는 보호할 전기기기가 부재하다. 본 논문에서는 저압설비의 전기재해를 미리 차단하기 위해 사용되고 있는 차단기에서의 발화 메커니즘에 관한 연구로 트래킹과 접촉불량에 따른 위험성을 분석하고 전기설비에서의 화재 발생에 대한 예방대책에 활용할 수 있도록 연구하였다.

In this study, we have evaluated the hazardous factors of fires such as heat release rate, smoke density, ignition temperature, and flammability of carpet and curtain used in the public facilities. As a result of flame retardant treatment, the heat release rate of materials treated with flame retardant was lower than that of not treated. However, the smoke density of treated materials was higher than that of not treated. Also, we have investigated the fire characteristics of used and unused carpet. As a result, the heat release rate and the smoke density of used for 3 years carpet were higher than those of unused carpet. The distinct differences of flammability and ignition temperature between used and unused carpet were confirmed.
