Because of the recent increase in maritime cargo capacity, the production and price of crude oil have been rising. As oil prices have risen, many problems have occurred in the industry. To solve these problems, marine resources are being actively developed, and there has been an increase in the orders for special vessels and marine structures for the development of marine resources. However, consequently, various kinds of accidents have also occurred in these special vessels and structures. One of the major types of accidents involves fire and explosion, which cause many casualties and property damage. Therefore, various studies to estimate and prevent such accidents have been carried out. In this study, as basic research for the prevention of fire and explosion, numerical simulations on combustion were carried out by using a commercial grid generation program, Gridgen, and a CFD program, ANSYS-CFX. The influences of some parameters, such as the grid system, turbulence model, turbulent dissipation rate, and so on, on the simulation results were investigated, and optimum ones were chosen. It was found that the present results adopting these parameters agreed moderately well with other experimental and numerical ones.

Combustion characteristics of gasoline/ethanol fuel were investigated both numerically and experimentally for vehicle fire safety. The numerical simulation was performed on the well-stirred reactor (WSR) to simulate the homogeneous gasoline engine and to clarify the effect of ethanol addition in the gasoline fuel. The simulating cases with three independent variables, i.e. ethanol mole fraction, equivalence ratio and residence time, were designed to predict and optimized systematically based on the response surface method (RSM). The results of stoichiometric gasoline surrogate show that the auto-ignition temperature increases but NOx yields decrease with increasing ethanol mole fraction. This implies that the bioethanol added gasoline is an eco-friendly fuel on engine running condition. However, unburned hydrocarbon is increased dramatically with increasing ethanol content, which results from the incomplete combustion and hence need to adjust combustion itself rather than an after-treatment system. For more tangible understanding of gasoline/ethanol fuel on pollutant emissions, experimental measurements of combustion products were performed in gasoline/ethanol pool fires in the cup burner. The results show that soot yield by gravimetric sampling was decreased dramatically as ethanol was added, but NOx emission was almost comparable regardless of ethanol mole fraction. For soot morphology by TEM sampling, the incipient soot such as a liquid like PAHs was observed clearly on the soot of higher ethanol containing gasoline, and the soot might be matured under the undiluted gasoline fuel.

본 논문에서는 한옥 부재로 사용되는 육송을 대상으로 도포법과 상압함침법의 방염처리 방법을 적용하여 각 연소특성을 평가하였다. 도포 처리는 시험체 표변에 2-3회 붓칠한 후 24h 건조하는 것을 3회 반복하였고, 상압함침 처리는 시험체를 약제 속에 72h 동안 함침시켜 처리하였다. 연소특성 평가방법으로는 멕켈버어너를 사용한 방염성능 시험, 콘칼로리미터를 사용한 열방출률 시험방법을 적용하였다. 시험 결과 방염성능에 있어서 두 가지 방법으로 처리한 시험체는 모두 현재 합판에 대한 성능기준을 만족하였으며, 상압함침 처리보다는 도포 처리한 시험체의 방염성능이 더 우수하게 나타났다. 열방출률 시험 결과로는 착화까지의 시간, 최대열방출률, 질량감소율 총방출열량 등의 지수에서 상압함침 처리보다는 도포 처리한 시험체가 더 높은 성능을 보였다.

소방청의 방염성능기준에 제시된 45°멕켈 버어너법을 이용하여 물유리 농도와 첨가제 종류에 따른 합판의 탄화길이 및 면적 등의 방염성능을 측정하였다. 합판에 농도 20-50%의 물유리를 처리한 결과, 방염성능은 물유리의 농도와 비례하는 경향을 나타냈다. 그러나 30%를 넘는 고농도의 물유리로 처리된 합판의 표면에서 백화현상과 끈적임이 발생하여 농도 30%를 최적 조건으로 결정하였다. 농도 30%의 물유리에 서로 다른 비율의 첨가제를 추가하여 실험을 수행한 결과, 수산화칼륨 15% 조건과 수산화알루미늄 1-10%의 조건에서 방염성능 기준을 만족하였다. 반면에 황산마그네슘은 방염성능에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 물유리와 첨가제에 따른 방염성능의 결과는 방염제를 활용한 불연재에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A flame stability diagram in a partially premixed flame is typically expressed using the axis coordinates of heat input rate and equivalence ratio. These diagrams are inadequate for identifying changes in combustion conditions and flame stability when a reference fuel is substituted with other fuels under identical operating conditions. This study proposes a new type of diagram and validates it experimentally. In this new diagram, the axis coordinates are air flow rate and Wobbe fuel flow rate, defined as the fuel flow rate multiplied by the square root of the relative density. The diagram was validated in trials using various fuels, including $CH_4$, $C_{3}H_{8}$, and LFG-$C_{3}H_{8}$ mixed fuels, in a domestic gas-range and an gas interchangeability test burner. The results of these trials show that the new diagram can provide information useful for assessing gas interchangeability of combustion conditions and flame stability when one fuel is substituted with another under identical operating conditions.

The characteristics of soot deposition on the cold wall in laminar diffusion flames have been numerically analyzed with a two-dimension with the FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). In particular, the effects of surrounding air temperature and wall temperature have been discussed. The fuel for the flame is an ethylene ($C_2H_4$). The surrounding oxygen concentration is 35%. Surrounding air temperatures are 300K, 600K, 900K and 1200K. Wall temperatures are 300K, 600K and 1200K. The soot deposition length defined as the relative approach distance to the wall per a given axial distance is newly introduced as a parameter to evaluate the soot deposition tendency on the wall. The result shows that soot deposition length is increased with increasing the surrounding air temperatures and with decreasing the wall temperature. And the numerical results led to the conclusion that it is essential to consider the thermophoretic effect for understanding the soot deposition on the cold wall properly.

액체연료를 사용하는 풀화재에서 화염불안정성에 대하여 산화제 유속변화와 농도변화의 효과를 알아보기 위해 컵버너 실험을 수행하였다. 연료는 헵탄을 사용하였고, 산화제는 공기에 질소와 이산화탄소를 희석하였다. 소화근처에서 축방향 및 화염 밑면에서 두 가지 형태의 대표적인 불안정성이 관찰되었다. 화염 밑면에서 발생되는 불안정성은 셀, 스윙, 회전 모드로 특성화 할 수 있고, 산화제의 유속이 증가할수록 모든 불활성 기체에서 셀, 스윙 모드에서 회전모드로 천이하였다. 이러한 화염밑면 불안정성에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 파악하기 위하여 초기혼합률, Le 수, 단열화염온도에 대해서도 함께 조사되었다. 이 중 Le 수가 불안정성 모드와 가장 큰 상관관계를 보이고 있지만 보다 정확한 관계를 규명하기 위해서는 더 많은 실험조건에서의 결과가 요구된다. 또한, 소화농도근처의 화염에서는 유속이 작거나 큰 경우에는 축방향 주기적인 진동불안정성이 나타나지 않고, 적절한 산화제 속도 영역에서만 관찰된다. 이는 작은 유속에서는 증발하는 연료속도가 임계유속이하이며, 큰 유속에서는 반응중인 연료유속과 산화제 유속이 유사하기 때문으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 석탄화력보일러에서 고수분탄 및 건조석탄 사용이 연소와 배기배출 특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 전산해석 연구를 수행하였다. 대상 보일러 설계 조건의 성능데이터를 기준으로 보일러 해석 모델 결과를 검증하였으며, 역청탄과 고수분탄 및 건조석탄을 혼소하는 조건에 대한 계산을 수행하였다. 고수분탄 혼소 비율이 높아질수록 가스 수직속도는 증가하였으며, 이는 연료의 노내 체류시간을 줄여 보일러 연소성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 건조석탄을 혼소할 경우 역청탄과 유사한 연소 및 배기배출 특성을 보였다. 고수분탄 혼소 비율이 높아질수록 수분영향에 의해 버너영역에서 연소반응 및 NOx 생성은 감소하였으며, OFA(Over-fire air) 이후에 가스온도와 NOx 생성이 높아지는 결과를 확인하였다.

Numerical simulation of the natural gas steam reforming process for on-site hydrogen production in a $H_2$ fueling station was conducted on the basis of process material and heat balances. The effects of reforming parameters on the process efficiency of hydrogen production were investigated, and set-point values of each of the parameters to minimize the sizes of unit process equipments and to secure a stable operability of the reforming process were suggested. S/C ratio of the reforming reactants was found to be a crucial parameter in the reforming process mostly governing both the hydrogen production efficiency and the stable operability of the process. The operation of the process was regarded to be stable if the feed water(WR) as a reforming reactant could evaporate completely to dry steam through HRSG. The optimum S/C ratio was 3.0 where the process efficiency of hydrogen production was maximized and the stable operability of the process was secured. The optimum feed rates of natural gas(NGR) and WR as reforming reactants and natural gas(NGB) as a burner fuel were also determined for the hydrogen production rate of $27\;Nm^3/h$.
