The fire resistance of particulate polypropylene composite systems were investigated by using various reinforced particles such as zeolite, talc, $CaCO_3$ particles. In this study, The effect of particle size on the thermal properties of composite and the effect of reinforced particles on the fire resistance were studied. The inorganic reinforced particles used in this study were recycled zeolite(average particle diameter=85.34 $mu extrm{m}$), $CaCO_3$ (33.93 $mu extrm{m}$), and talc (18.51 $mu extrm{m}$). The fire resistance of composite systems was thoroughly examined by measuring limited oxygen index (LOI, ASTM D2863) and cone calorimetry (ASTM E1354, ISO 5660). Thermal stability of composite systems was thoroughly examined by measuring TGA. The flame retardants (DBDPO) and reinforced particles reduce the maximum heat release rate (M-HRR) in the order of Talc > $CaCO_3$ > recycled Zeolite. Comparing the cone calorimetry experimental results of the particle reinforced polymer composite system exhibited twice higher efficiency than DBDPO in polypropylene systems, and the LOI also showed similar trends to the cone calorimetry experiments. The optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to investigate the composites ash layer and the core fracture surfaces in the burning process. The reinforcing inorganic particles seemed to accumulate at the surface of ash layer, and subsequently intercept the oxygen transport and heat transfer into the core area.

The present study has been conducted to analyse the effects of various pool diameters on the measurement of heat release rate (HRR) of heptane fire using large scale cone calorimeter (LSC). The burning rate which is the major parameter for HRR compared with the previous model suggested by A. Hamins. The combustion efficiency for heptane by oxygen consumption method is about 91%, which is almost same with the previous results of 92% suggested by J. Gore. The convective HRR by enthalpy consumption method was 54% lower than HRR by oxygen consumption method. This results are practical use for establishing the reliability of heat release rate for fire experiment.

In this study, an ISO 5660-1 cone calorimeter experiment was conducted to examine the effects of changes in flow and thermal thickness around solid combustibles on heat release rate characteristics. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a solid combustible material that does not generate char during the combustion reaction. Hence, it was selected for the experiment, and the thermal penetration depth was calculated to distinguish the thermal thickness of PMMA. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition characteristics were analyzed by measuring the heat release rate measured during the combustion of PMMA. This was performed after generating the forced flow around the combustibles by setting the duct flow of the cone calorimeter to 12, 24, and 40 L/s. The results confirmed that the thermal release rate of the thermally thin combustible material was not significantly affected by the change in the surrounding flow. Hence, the thermally thick combustible material was significantly affected by the change in the flow rate.

새로운 알킬렌디아미노알킬-비스-포스포닉산 유도체인 3종을 합성하고, 그들의 연소특성을 측정하였다. 알킬렌디아민 및 알데히드에 아인산을 첨가하여 한 단계로 반응시켜 91.3~97.3%의 수득률을 얻었다. 연소특성은 육송에 화합물을 도포한 후 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 측정하였다. Heat flux는 25kW로 고정하였다. 시험결과 착화시간은 육송에 비해 51s~83s 정도 지연되었으며 착화시간이 지연 될수록 최대 열방출율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

The interior materials of the urban subway car in operation are now being changed to new materials that meet the latest law in effect, the fire safety criteria of the urban railway vehicle. It was well known fact that the composite materials, that were applied to last subway car, were weak on the fire. Contrary to this materials, materials in work have good resistance to the fire. On the paper, To investigate the difference of fire safety level on the subway car, cone calorimeter was used to measure the heat release rate and total heat released according to the ISO 5660. A high radiative heat flux of 50kW/m2 was used to burn out all materials and to simulate the condition of fully developed fire case in the tests.

This paper investigated the combustion properties of the Pinus rigida, Castanea sativa, and Zelkova serrata which are grown in Korea using the cone calorimeter. The heat release rate and smoke production for these species were measured. With respect to an increase of retardant properties attributed to char formation, Zelkova serrata showed good properties compared with that of Pinus rigida and Castanea sativa. The Castanea sativa has high $CO_{peak}$ Yield and high $CO/CO_2$ Yield compared with that of Pinus rigida and Zelkova serrata.

실제 화재의 위험성을 평가하는 가장 좋은 방법은 직접 실재 화재 조건을 모사 또는 구현하여 평가하는 방법이다. 그러나, 비용과 시간 및 환경 문제를 생각한다면 쉬운 일은 아니다. 따라서 단위 재료를 태우거나, 전산 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 화재를 예측하는 방법을 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 콘칼로리미터 실험 결과를 기초 데이터로 실제 화재 실험인 room corner test의 총열방출량을 추정하였다. 그 결과 가연물의 부피 및 밀도와 보정상수를 활용하여 실제 총열방출량에 근접한 결과값을 얻을 수 있었으며, 산출된 총열방출량을 근거로 전산시뮬레이션을 수행, 시뮬레이션 결과값을 통해 재실자의 화재 및 연기에 대한 위험성 평가를 할 수 있었다. 본 결과를 통해 화재 시뮬레이션 수행 시 가연물에 따른 화재에 의한 위험성 평가를 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
