본 연구에서는 캐나다 연료 수분지수의 정확도를 보정하여, 산불발생의 예측 효율성을 높이기 위해, 기존 입력 값인 상대습도와 실효습도(Effective humidity)를 이용한 결과를 상호 비교 분석하였다. 캐나다 연료수분지수인 미세연료수분지수, 가뭄지수, 부식층수분지수의 결과를 비교한 결과 이에 따라 실효습도를 사용한 캐나다 기상지수의 민감도가 상대습도를 사용하여 산출된 지수보다 민감도가 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 산불 발생 예측의 지표인 미세연료 수분 지수의 분석결과, 실효습도를 이용하여 산출된 미세연료 수분지수의 적중률이 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 미세연료 수분지수의 적용보다 상대습도의 적용이 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다.

기후변화는 우리생활에서 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 예측되고 있다. 산불 또한, 발생 빈도와 강도 면에서 상당한 영향을 받을 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화모형(GCM)과 캐나다 산불 기상 지수의 미세연료 수분지수를 활용하여, 우리나라에서 기후변화 후 예측 되는 산불 발생의 가능성과 산불 계절의 변화를 예측하여, 향후 산불 방제 정책의 기본 자료로 삼고자 하였다. 밸런스형 사회가 유지될 경우의 미세 연료 수분 지수의 분석 결과, 산불 계절이 현재 보다 변화하는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 사전 대비가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

Fine fuel moisture code (FFMC), a main component of forest fire weather index(FWI) in the Canadian forest fire danger rating system(CFFDRS), indicated a probability of ignition through expecting a dryness of fine fuels. According to this code, a rising of temperature and wind velocity, a decreasing of precipitation and decline of humidity in a weather condition showed a rising of a danger rate for the forest fire. In this study, we analyzed a weather condition during 5 years in Kangwon province, calculated a FFMC and examined an application of FFMC. Very low humidity and little precipitation was a characteristic during spring and fall fire season in Kangwon province. 75% of forest fires during 5 years occurred in this season and especially 90% of forest fire during fire season occurred in spring. For developing of the prediction model for a forest fire occurrence probability, we used a logistic regression function with forest fire occurrence data and classified mean FFMC during 10 days. Accuracy of a developed model was 63.6%. To improve this model, we need to deal with more meteorological data during overall seasons and to associate a meteorological condition with a forest fire occurrence with more research results.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the variation in the ignition characteristics of coals as a function of moisture content in a laminar flow reactor (LFR) equipped with a fuel moisture micro-supplier designed by the Pusan Clean Coal Center. The volatile ignition position and time were observed experimentally when a pulverized coal with moisture was fed into the LFR under burning conditions similar to those at the exit of the pulverizer and real boiler. The reaction-zone temperature along the centerline of the reactor was measured with a $70-{\mu}m$, R-type thermocouple. For different moisture contents, the volatile ignition position was determined based on an average of 15 to 20 images captured by a CCD camera using a proprietary image-processing technique. The reaction zone decreased proportionally as a function of the moisture content. As the moisture content increased, the volatile ignition positions were 2.92, 3.36, 3.96, and 4.65 mm corresponding to ignition times of 1.46, 1.68, 2.00, and 2.33 ms, respectively. These results indicate that the ignition position and time increased exponentially. We also calculated the ignition-delay time derived from the adiabatic thermal explosion. It showed a trend that was similar to that of the experimental data.

Selective catalytic reduction of $NO_x$ by $NH_3$ ($NH_3$-SCR) over $V_2O_5/TiO_2$-based catalysts is recently reported to be an anthropogenic emitter of $N_2O$ that is a global warming gas with a global warming potential of 310. Therefore, this review will get a touch on significance of some parameters regarding $N_2O$ formation in the $deNO_xing$ reaction for fossil fuels-fired power plants applications. The $N_2O$ production in $NH_3$-SCR reaction with such catalysts occurs via side reactions between $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ in addition to $NH_3$ oxidation, and the extent of these undesired reactions depends strongly on the loadings of $V_2O_5$ as a primary active component and the promoter as a secondary one ($WO_3$ and $MoO_3$) in the SCR catalysts, the feed and operating variables such as reaction temperature, $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio, oxygen concentration, gas hourly space velocity, water content and thermal excursion, and the physical and chemical histories of the catalysts on site. Although all these parameters are associated with the $N_2O$ formation in $deNO_xing$ reaction, details of some of them have been discussed and a better way of suppressing the $N_2O$ production in commercial SCR plants has been proposed.
