An experimental study has been done to investigate the explosion characteristics of aluminum powders with different sizes and concentrations in a 20 L spherical explosion vessel. Two different sizes of aluminum powder were used : $15.1{\mu}m$ and $34.8{\mu}m$ with a volume mean diameter. The results revealed that $15.1{\mu}m$ Al powder has a Lower explosion limit (LEL) of $40g/m^3$, a maximun explosion pressure ($P_{max}$) of 9.8 bar and a maximum rate of pressure rise ($[dP/dt]_{max}$) of 1852 bar/s, in $34.8{\mu}m$ Al powder, LEL of $70g/m^3$, $P_{max}$ of 7.9 bar and $[dP/dt]_{max}$ of 322 bar/s. The LEL of Al powders tended to increase with the increase of particle size. Also, it was found that the flame velocity calculated from the powder with $15.1{\mu}m$ was about 5 times higher than that of the powder of $34.8{\mu}m$.

Gas explosion characteristics of hydrogen and liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) were measured in 6L cylindrical vessel, and experiment for explosion to fire transition phenomena of the gases were carried out using the 270L vessel. Explosion characteristics were measured using the stain type pressure transducer and explosion to fire transition phenomena was analyzed with the hish-speed camera. Base on the experiment, it was found that explosion pressure was most high slightly above the stoichiometric concentration, and explosion pressure rise rate and flame propagation velocity were proportional to the combustion velocity. And we find that those kind of explosion characteristics affect the explosion-to-fire transition, in addition, explosion flame temperature, flame residence time, are important parameters in explosion-to-fire transition.

본 연구에서는 에어챔버가 설치된 펌프관로계에서 수격현상에 대한 현장실험을 실시하고, 에어챔버의 입력변수 및 설계인자가 수격현상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 수치계산과 실험을 통하여 조사한 후 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 수치계산에 사용된 입력변수중 폴리트로프지수, 오리피스 유량계수, 압력파 전파속도순으로 수격현상에 대한 영향이 크게 나타났으며, 수치계산은 이 변수값이 각각 1.3, 0.7, 1,050m/s일 때 측정된 압력변동 및 공기체적변화를 가장 잘 모사하였다. (2) 에어챔버내 초기공기체적이 증가하면 압축공기의 압력변화율이 작아지기 때문에 수격현상의 주기는 길어지고, 관로내 압력변화는 감소하였다. 측관에 설치한 오리피스 내경을 줄임으로써 상승압은 상당히 완화되었으며, 시간이 지남에 따라 수격작용도 보다 빨리 감쇄되었다. 수치계산결과는 수격현상의 1-2주기까지 측정값과 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 펌프관로계에 작용하는 최대.최소압력 및 그 발생시간도 합리적으로 예측되었다. (3) 수치계산은 측정된 과도특성 값들을 약 5%이내의 오차로 예측하였으며, 개발된 전산프로그램은 실제 펌프관로계에 대한 수격완화장치를 설계하는데 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

An experimental study was conducted to measure laminar burning velocity and Markstein length of SNG fuel with 3% of hydrogen contents from spherical propagating flames at normal and elevated initial pressure. These results were compared with numerical calculations by Premix code with GRI-mech 3.0, USC II and UC San Diego to provide suitable mechanism for SNG fuel. As a result of this work, it was found that the burning velocities and Markstein lengths of SNG fuel decrease with increase of initial pressure regardless of equivalence ratio. In addition, numerical calculations with GRI-mech 3.0 were coincided with experimental results.

Micro shock tubes are now-a-days used for a variety engineering applications such as in the field of aerospace, combustion technology and drug delivery systems. But the flow characteristics of micro shock tube will be different from that of well established conventional macro shock tube under the influence of very low Reynolds number and high Knudsen number formed due to smaller diameter. In present study, experimental studies were carried out to a closed end (downstream) Micro Shock Tube with two different diameters were investigated to understand the flow characteristics. Pressure values were measured at different locations inside the driver and driven section. The results obtained show that with the increase in diameter the shock propagation velocity increases as well as the effect of reflected shock wave will be more significant under the same diaphragm rupture pressure.

The supersonic shock wave generated by fully coupled explosion will change into subsonic shock wave, plastic wave, and elastic wave consecutively as the wave propagates through rock mass. While the estimation of the blast-induced peak pressure was the main aim of the companion paper, this paper will concentrate on the estimation of the rise time of blast-induced pressure. The rise time can be expressed as a function of explosive density, isentropic exponent, detonation velocity, exponential coefficient of the peak pressure attenuation, dynamic yield stress, plastic wave velocity, elastic wave velocity, rock density, Hugoniot parameters, etc. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the rise time and it was found that rock properties are more sensitive than explosive properties. The probabilistic distribution of the rise time is evaluated by the Rosenblueth'S point estimate method from the probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties. Numerical analysis was performed to figure out the effect of rock properties and explosive properties on the uncertainty of blast-induced vibration. Uncertainty analysis showed that uncertainty of rock properties constitutes the main portion of blast-induced vibration uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties. Numerical analysis also showed that the loading rate, which is the ratio of the peak blasting pressure to the rise time, is the main influential factor on blast-induced vibration. The loading rate is again more influenced by rock properties than by explosive properties.

Measurements were performed to investigate the effects on flame and pressure development by varying locations of multiple obstacles in a top-venting explosion chamber. The chamber dimension was 1000 mm in height with a $700\;{\times}\;700\;mm^2$ cross-section and a rectangular vent area of $700\;{\times}\;700\;mm^2$. Three different multiple obstacles with blockage ratio of 30% were used by changing from 200 mm, 500 mm to 800 mm in heights within the chamber. Temporally resolved flame front images were recorded by a high speed camera to investigate the interaction between the propagating flame and the obstacles. The results showed that the triangular bar caused the fastest flame developments at given times whereas the lowest was obtained with the cylindrical bar. It was also found that local flame displacement speeds of different obstacles were sensitive to the locations of obstacles. The local speed becomes larger in going from 200 mm, to 500 mm and to 800 mm in heights. The obstacles in height of 800 mm yielded the highest overpressure whereas the lowest was in height of 200 mm.

The propagation mechanism of a detonation pressure with fully coupled charge is clarified and the blasting pressure propagated in rock mass is derived from the application of shock wave theory. The blasting pressure was a function of detonation velocity, isentropic exponent, explosive density, Hugoniot parameters, and rock density. Probabilistic distribution is obtained by using explosion tests on emulsion and rock property tests on granite in Seoul and then the probabilistic distribution of the blasting pressure is derived from the above mentioned properties. The probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties show a normal distribution so that the blasting pressure propagated in rock can be also regarded as a normal distribution. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the blasting pressure and it was found that the detonation velocity is the most sensitive parameter. Moreover, uncertainty analysis was performed to figure out the effect of each parameter uncertainty on the uncertainty of blasting pressure. Its result showed that uncertainty of natural rock properties constitutes the main portion of blasting pressure uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties. In other words, since rock property uncertainty is much larger than detonation velocity uncertainty the blasting pressure uncertainty is more influenced by the former than by the latter even though the detonation velocity is found to be the most influencing parameter on the blasting pressure.
