We have compared a special character(pressure of explosion, gas volume, energy of explosion, temperature of explosion, strength) of different three emulsion explosives which is different velocity by Nitrodyn program that is calculated explosion reaction. We have analyzed the character of the vibration from a vibration data which is a result from test blasting in different velocity of detonation for three emulsion explosives of the same size(17mm) in the same rock. As a result, the vibration is decreased when the velocity of detonation is decreased within 40m from origin of explosion but it is familiar character over 40m, so there isn't much affect the velocity of detonation in decreased vibration over 40m.

Empirical model, phenomenological model, and CFD model have been used to evaluate the blast effects produced by explosion of explosives, flammable gas and liquid or dust. TNT equivalence method which is one of empirical models has been widely used as it is simple. In this study, new peak overpressure-scaled distance and scaled impulse-scaled distance equations are induced through fitting data from the curves given by TNT equivalence method. If the TNT equivalent mass is calculated, it is possible to estimate the peak overpressure and impulse using the regression equations. Differences of peak overpressure with yield factor which is a component of TNT equivalence method are found to be great in near-by distances from explosion source where the increase in overpressure is very steep, but the differences are getting smaller as the distances increase.

As the industry of 21C has been developed, the gas industry has been grown and its convenience but it accompany risk for using gas. Therefore, we designed a vent area to prevent the collapse of the booth by the explosion pressure during test. The explosion booth was installed fur training safety supervisors to aware the risk of gas explosion. The vent area was designed based on the exhaust model of NFPA 68. It was calculated at $2.8297m^2$ for LPG and at $3.0518m^2$ for NG.

금속 와이어를 전기폭발법에 의해 증기 상태로 만든 후 응축시킬 때 제조되는 금속나노분말의 크기특성을 파악하기 위하여 제조장치에 샘플링 포트를 삽입하여 실시간 입자 측정기(Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer; SMPS) 로 14~615 nm 범위의 크기분포를 측정하였다. SMPS는 입자의 크기에 따라 전기적 이동도가 달라지는 원리를 이용하여 공기 중에 부유된 나노입자의 크기분포를 수 분내에 측정하는 실시간 입자 측정기이다. 금속나노분말 제조장치 내부는 약 0.5 bar 수준으로 불활성가스로 채워져 있어서 대기압보다 높은 고압조건이므로 SMPS 전단에 작은 노즐이 삽입된 pressure reducer를 부착하여 적정한 압력 수준으로 낮춘 후 SMPS로 나노분말의 크기분포를 실시간으로 측정하였다. 제조공정이 진행되면서 전기폭발이 주기적으로 발생하는 동안에 SMPS로 측정한 14~615 nm 범위 입자의 총 수농도는 약 $10^7$ 개/$cm^3$ 수준으로 매우 높았고, 약 100 nm와 200 nm에서 고농도 피크를 나타내는 bimodal 분포를 나타냈다. 반면 전기폭발이 잠시 중단되는 경우 입자의 총 수 농도는 약 $10^4$ 개/$cm^3$ 수준으로 낮아지고, 약 20 nm 이하의 입자가 대부분을 차지하면서 입자의 크기가 커질수록 농도가 낮아지는 형태의 크기분포로 바뀌었다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 제조장치 내부의 나노분말 크기분포 자료는 고품질 제품을 생산하기 위해 나노분말의 크기분포를 제어하는 분급장치 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the conditions of explosion range of gasoline, which is used as combustion improver, are experimentally analyzed. Two types of compartment, which is the small scale ($0.5m{\times}0.5m{\times}1.0m$) and the middle scale ($0.5m{\times}0.5m{\times}1.0m$), are mocked-up and the auto-control systems are installed in order to measure the vaporized gasoline and the moment of pressure, ignition time and maximum pressure. In case the maximum flammable limit of gasoline is up to 22.4 Vol% not the generalized range of 1.4~7.6 Vol% when nichrome igniter of $700^{\circ}C$ is used. These results can be appled to the analytical prediction of fire identification in the field of explosion.

Liquefied Petroleum 6aso-PG) is combustible gas which used for fuel for domestic and automobiles. A research for adjust a component of LPG to improve the fuel characteristics and control the manufacturing process of that is carrying in petrochemical industry. Some kinds of LPG blending is considered as a adjusting method to control component of LPG. LPG is mainly propane for domestic use and butane for automobile use but propylene and butylene also a kind of LPG Change of explosion characteristic and combustion gas component by mixing of propylene in propane and butane was measured and analysed in this research. Based on the result of experiment, it was found that explosion pressure and pressure rise rate was slightly increased with mixing rate of propylene and it was considered the possibility of increasing the CO concentration in combustion gas with increase the mixing rate of propylene.

An explosion modeling technique was developed by using the spherical discrete element code, PFC3D, which can be used to model the dynamic stress wave propagation phenomenon. The modeling technique is simply based on an idea that the explosion pressure should be applied to a PFC3D particle assembly not in the form of an external force (body force), but in the form of a contact force (surface force). According to this concept, the explosion pressure is applied to the wall particles by the scheme of radius expansion/contraction of inner-hole particles. The output wall force is compared to the input hole pressure in every time step, and a correction routine is activated to control the radius multiplier of the inner-hole particles. A comparative blast simulation far a cement mortar block of $80\times90\times80mm$ was conducted by using the conventional explosion modeling method and the new one. The results of the simulation are presented in a qualitative fashion.

A pressure vessel is a cylindrical container that accommodates a pressurized fluid. In real life, there are propane canisters and butane canisters. According to data from the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, The number of domestic gas accidents is average 33 cases of domestic gas accidents occurred per year and 20.8 for mobile butane gases. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to prevent this kind of explosion. Common studies include forced drain through safe holes, forced separation of butane canisters, and manufacturing of high-strength steel. This paper uses a concept that reduces stress inside the cylinder using prestressed method that precede compression. In other words, install a long liner in both ends of the pressure vessel. I want to develop a safety device that acts like a gas intermediate valve.

A study was carried out on the effect of particle size (mean diameter) on magnesium dust explosion. Experimental investigations were conducted in a 20-L explosion sphere, using 10 kJ chemical ignitors. Explosion tests were performed with three different dusts having mean diameter (38, 142, $567{\mu}m$) and the dust concentrations were up to $2250g/m^3$. The lower explosion limits(LEL) of magnesium dusts were about $30g/m^3$ at $38{\mu}m$ and $40g/m^3$ at $142{\mu}m$. LEL tended to increase with particle size and this means that the explosion probability of magnesium dust decreased with increase of particle size. The maximum explosion presssure ($P_m$) and $K_{st}$ (Explosion index) decreased with the increase of particle size. For magnesium powder of $567{\mu}m$, however, the explosive properties were not observed in the 5 kJ ignition energy.

Accidents of dust explosion has been occurred in various industries as a plastics, pharmaceuticals, timber, grain storage, solid fuels and chemicals. In this study, the silo dust, hammer mill dust and Nyusong dust in the manufacturing process of the particle board to utilize west wood, which were selected for this experiment and were evaluated the characteristics of dust explosion. The explosion characteristics such as a maximum explosion pressure, explosion index, lower explosive limit, and minimum ignition energy in suspended dust of the wood by Siwek 20 L apparatus were measured and evaluated for the experiment. The results of this study can be used the process safety measures to prevent accidents of fire and explosion in the suspended dust of wood.
