The flash and fire point are the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of flammable material. The flash point is defined as the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air near its surface or within a vessel. The fire point is the temperature of the flammable liquid at which there will be flaming combustion, sustained 5 seconds in response to the pilot flame. In this study, the flash points and fire points were measured to present raw data of the flammable risk assessment for acids, using Pensky-Martens Closed Cup(C.C.) apparatus (ASTM-D93) and Tag Open-cup (O.C.) apparatus(ASTM D 1310-86). The measured fire points were compared with the estimated values based on 1.11 times stoichiometric concentration. The values calculated by the proposed equation were in good agreement with measured values.

본 논문에서는 액체로켓엔진에서 터보펌프의 160kW급 터빈을 구동하고, 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하는 가스발생기의 설계점 연소성능시험 결과에 대해 논의하였다. 충돌형 F-O-F 인젝터, 물냉각 채널을 가진 연소실, torch ignitor, turbulence ring 그리고 측정 링을 갖는 가스발생기에 대해 기술하였고, 점화, 연소, 종료 등의 시험 cyclogram에 대해 언급하였다. 설계점에서의 연소시험 및 turbulence ring 장착여부, 연소실 길이 변화에 따른 연소시험의 결과들에 대해 기술하였다. 연소시험 결과 가스발생기는 설계점에서 안정된 작동성을 보여주었고, 연소압력 및 온도 등의 성능이 예측치에 근접하는 결과를 보여 주었다. Turbulence ring은 출구에서의 가스온도를 균일하게 분포시켜 효과적인 혼합 장치임을 보여 주었고, 4-6msec 정도에서의 잔류시간에서는 연소효율의 차이가 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 가스발생기 출구에서의 온도는 공급되는 추진제의 O/F ratio에 따라 매우 민감하게 반응함을 알 수 있었다.

As the environmental pollution by the drastic increase of vehicles becomes one of the social major concerns, the method of reducing the harmful exhaust emission is being the subject of interest. Utilization of waste edible oil as a raw material for biodiesel production is helpful not only for the stable supply of raw materials but also costing down the biodiesel price. This study was conducted to examine the combustion and thermal characteristics with mixing ratio of biodiesel fuel. Flash points, fire points and autoignition temperature (AIT) were measured by using Tag closed cup, Cleveland open cup flash point tester and AIT apparatus. As the result, flash points, fire points and AIT increased with percentage of more contained biodiesel.

본 연구는 2004년 10월 3일 03시 29분경 전북 00시 00동 지리산 흑돼지 정육점에서 발생한 화재현장을 대상으로 화재조사 및 감식을 하여 그 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 조사 결과 안쪽방과 매장 사이에 있던 냉장고가 심하게 소훼 되었고, 점포와 안방 출입문 부위를 중심으로 가장 심한 탄화상태를 보이는 것으로 발화지점으로 보이며, 점포 내 휴게공간에서 발화하여 점포내부와 화장실을 통해 연소 확대되었음을 확인하였다. 한편, 발화원인으로는 전기적원인, 가스 난방기구 및 담뱃불 등 미소화원 등에 의한 발화 가능성의 특이점이 보이지 않으며, 휴게공간에서의 급격한 연소현상, 폭발 후 화재로 진전된 흔적, 바닥의 가연성액체에 의한 연소흔적 등으로 보아 방화의 가능성이 높다. 화재는 휴식공간입구 우측 큰 교자상과 밑의 작은 교자상 밑, 그 주위에 연소매개체로서 등유를 뿌린 상태에서 휴대용가스렌지를 이용 방화한 것으로 추정된다.

KSR-III engine with film-cooled baffle was tested. The purpose of this test is to verify the effect of ablative baffle on avoiding combustion instability which occurred in the acoustic cavity case. The engine had expansion ratio of 5.04 and the test condition was design condition(oxidizer mass flow rate 42.04, and fuel 17.95 kg/s). In the test, combustion instability did not occur. So, the effect of film-cooled baffle on avoiding combustion instability was verified.

It was designed and tested at the design point that an oxidizer rich preburner for a staged combustion liquid rocket engine propelled by kerosene and LOx. The oxidizer rich preburner was designed as some of LOx injected from the mixing head was burned with kerosene and the rest of LOx injected from injection holes in the regenerative cooling chamber was vaporized by combustion gas. The preburner is operated at OF ratio of 60 and combustion pressure of 20 MPa. The Preburner has a honey-comb type mixing head with simplex swirl injectors, a turbulence ring improving combustion stability and uniformity of product gas temperature distribution, and a nozzle simulating the duct. With the combustion test results at the design point, the oxidizer rich preburner showed high combustion stability and uniformity of product gas temperature distribution.

This paper describes the results of combustion performance test of fuel-rich gas generator(GG) using LOx and kerosene as propellant at off-design conditions. The chamber pressure is thought to be a function of O/F ratio and total propellant mass flow rate. The test shows that the spatial temperature deviation at the exit of gas generator remains within 7.5K and that the average gas temperature at the exit is a function of propellant O/F ratio. The results of firing test of gas generator at off-design conditions, especially the relation between gas temperature and O/F ratio, can provide useful data for the design of future gas generator and for the development of low-O/F ratio reaction analysis code.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the dangers of biodiesel and general diesel mixtures currently used as alternative fuels by equipment (tag method and penski Marten method) and to determine the difference between flash point and combustion point (closed, open) according to test methods. It is intended to be used as a reference material for identification and evaluation of firecausing substances by confirming the risk of mixtures by comparative analysis and measurement, and establishing a risk assessment method for chemical substances. Method: Flash point test method and result treatment were tested based on ASTM and KS M mode, which are tag sealing and pen schematense test methods used as flash point and combustion point test methods for crude oil and petroleum products. The manufacturer of the equipment used in this experiment was a test equipment that satisfies the test standards of KS M 2010 with equipment produced by TANAKA of Japan. The flash point and combustion point were measured, and the flash point according to the test method of biodiesel and general diesel mixture ( Closed, open), and the ignition point of a mixture of biodiesel and general diesel was compared and analyzed for ignition risk compared with conventional diesel. Results: Looking at the experimental results, first, as an analysis of the risk of flammability of the mixture, the flash point of a substance containing 70% biodiesel was found to be about 92℃ based on general diesel with a flash point of 64.5℃, and gasoline and biodiesel or When the biodiesel mixture was synthesized, it was confirmed that the flash point tends to decrease. In addition, the difference between the flash point and the combustion point was analyzed as about 20 ~ 30℃, and when a small amount of gasoline or methanol was mixed, the flash point was lowered, but it was confirmed that the combustion point was similar to that of the existing mixture. Conclusion: In this study, in order to secure the effectiveness of the details of the criteria for judging dangerous materials in the existing Dangerous Materials Safety Management Act, and to secure the reliability and reproducibility of the judgment of dangerous materials, we confirm the criteria for judging the risk of the mixture through an experimental study on flammable mixtures. It will be able to provide reference data for experimental criteria for flammable liquids that are regulated in the field. In addition, if this study accumulates know-how on experiment by test method, it is expected that it can be used as a basis for research on risk assessment and research on dangerous goods.

The characteristics at the intermediate operation point of the turbopump-gas generator(TP-GG) coupled test were investigated by analytical method. The pump outlet pressure, gas generator mixture ratio, gas generator pressure, and temperature were examined considering risk minimization of test. The engine system shows different behavior from the TP-GG coupled test at the intermediate operation point since the combustion pressure feeds back to the flow rate in the lines. The advanced valve changes in the combustor line helps less risky mode transition.
