A dust explosion is a phenomenon of strong blast wave propagation involving destruction which results from dust pyrolysis and rapid oxidation in a confined space. There has been some research done to find individual explosion characteristics and common physical laws for various dust types. However, there has been insufficient number of studies related to the heat of combustion of materials and the oxygen consumption energy about materials in respect of dust explosion characteristics. The present study focuses on the relationship between dust explosion characteristics of wood dust samples and oxygen consumption energy. Since it is difficult to estimate the weight of suspended dust participating in explosions in dust explosion and mixtures are in fuel-rich conditions concentrations with equivalent ratios exceeding 1, methods for estimating explosion overpressure by applying oxygen consumption energy based on unit volume air at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature are proposed. In this study an oxygen consumption energy model for dust explosion is developed, and by applying this model to TNT equivalent model, initial explosion efficiency was calculated by comparing the results of standardized dust explosion experiments.

In this study, the numerical analysis model of π-beam explosion is established to compare and analyze the failure modes of the π-beam under the action of explosive loads, thus verifying the accuracy of the numerical model. Then, based on the numerical analysis of different protection forms of π beams under explosive loads, the peak pressure of π beam under different protection conditions, the law of structural energy consumption, the damage pattern of the π beam after protection, and the protection efficiency of different protective layers was studied. The testing results indicate that the pressure peak of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam, and the peak value of pressure decays quickly along the beam longitudinal. Besides, as the longitudinal distance increases, the pressure peak attenuates most heavily on the roof's explosion-facing surface. Meanwhile, the combined protective layer has a strong energy consumption capacity, the energy consumed accounts for 90% of the three parts of the π beam (concrete, steel, and protective layer). The damaged area of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam. We also calculate the protection efficiency of π beams under different protection conditions using the maximum spalling area of concrete. The results show that the protective efficiency of the combined protective layer is 45%, demonstrating a relatively good protective ability.

가스 폭발의 위험성의 증대와 함께 가스 폭발의 규모와 영향을 예측하는데 필요한 폭발 인자들을 간접적으로 추정하는 방법들이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주로 사용되고 있는 TNT 등가량 산정법, TNO 다중에너지 방법, BST 방법의 특성과 폭발 인자를 결정하는 과정을 비교하였다. TNT 등가량 산정법의 경우, 증기운 폭발의 형태와 폭발 물질 등 다양한 조건에 따라 적합한 efficiency factor를 선택하는 것이 필요하였다. TNO 다중에너지 방법은 클래스 번호를 결정하기 위한 객관적 기준이 부족하였으며 음의 과압을 추정하지는 못하였다. 기 보고된 인자값에 오기재로 보이는 부분을 확인하였으며 수정된 인자값을 제시하였다. BST 방법은 음의 과압을 포함한 보다 상세한 폭발 인자 추정이 가능하지만 사용하는 그래프가 가시적이지 않은 문제점이 있었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 그래프를 재작성하였으며 향후 그래프의 수식화를 통한 편리한 폭발 인자 추정이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 지하 암반을 타고 전달된 인공발파음 특성을 규명하기 위해 제안한 알고리즘에 대해 기술한다. 지하 암반 매질을 통과한 인공발파음은 다중전달경로 현상과 지질의 불균일 등으로 인해서 거리증가에 따라 고주파 대역에서 감쇠가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 알고리즘 성능검증을 위해 지하터널에서 발파 실험을 하였고 수집한 데이터를 가지고 지하암반을 통과한 채널에서 특징 파라미터를 추출하여 수치적으로 정량화함으로써 인공발파음 특성을 규명하였다.

An increase in oil and gas plants caused by development of process industry have brought into the increase in use of flammable and toxic materials in the complex process under high temperature and pressure. There is always possibility of fire and explosion of dangerous chemicals, which exist as raw materials, intermediates, and finished goods whether used or stored in the industrial plants. Since there is the need of efforts on disaster damage reduction or mitigation process, we have been conducting a research to relate explosion model on the background of real 3D terrain model. By predicting the extent of damage caused by recent disasters, we will be able to improve efficiency of recovery and, sure, to take preventive measure and emergency counterplan in response to unprepared disaster. For disaster damage prediction, it is general to conduct quantitative risk assessment, using engineering model for environmentaldescription of the target area. There are different engineering models, according to type of disaster, to be used for industry disaster such as UVCE (Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosion), BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Evaporation Vapor Explosion), Fireball and so on, among them.we estimate explosion damage through UVCE model which is used in the event of explosion of high frequency and severe damage. When flammable gas in a tank is released to the air, firing it brings about explosion, then we can assess the effect of explosion. As 3D terrain information data is utilized to predict and estimate the extent of damage for each human and material. 3D terrain data with synthetic environment (SEDRIS) gives us more accurate damage prediction for industrial disaster and this research will show appropriate prediction results.

A new and reusable energy source is water-treatment sludges. There is a significant need for understanding the characteristics of sludge combustion related to improving efficiency and ensuring the safety of this new energy source. Because sludges are composed of solids and gas mixture, the combustion of the mixture may become quite complex. Not only decomposition of conventional organic elements but also dust explosion may be important during the process of converting sludges into a new and safe form of energy. Sludge combustion mainly involves hydrogen, methane, hydro carbons, carbon, and organic particles. Dust explosion during the gasification stage may depend on the surrounding temperature and the composition of gases. The uncertainty in the explosive behavior of energetic source is noted in this work. We study the explosion characteristics of sludge combustion while the reusability of sewage sludges as a new form of energy is also investigated.

증기폭발이 발생하면 파괴적인 동력에너지가 방출될 가능성이 있으므로. 이 현상은 원자력 발전소 안전성 연구 분야에서 중요한 현상으로 지목되어 왔다. 따라서 증기폭발이 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서는 폭발시 수반되는 열에너지가 동력에너지로 전환되는 비율을 정확히 해석할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나, 정확한 해석 방법의 개발이 이루어지지 않은 현 상황에서는 순수히 이론에 근거한 열역학적 해석 방법 등을 이용할 수 있으며 이러만 접근 방식은 그 결과가 보수적이라는데 그 의미가 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 알려진 열역학적 해석 방법들을 정리하였고. 이론적으로 모순된 부분을 수정하여 비교하였다. 지금까지 알려진 바와는 달리. Hicks-Menzies 모델과 Board-Hall 모델은 에너지 전환율에서 동일한 결과를 나타냄을 보였다. 또한 증기폭발에서 냉각수 포기 기공율의 영향을 계산, 검토하였으며, 금속의 발열반응의 영향을 분석할 수 있는 열역학적 모델을 제시하였다.

Enhancement of pulsed-laser ablation by an artificially deposited liquid film is presented. Measurements of ablation rate, ablation threshold, and surface topography arc performed. Correlation between material ablation and photoacoustic effect is examined by the optical beam deflection method. The dependence of ablation rate on liquid-film thickness and chemical composition is also examined. The results indicate that photomechanical effect in the phase explosion of liquid is responsible for the enhanced ablation. The low critical temperature of liquid induces explosive vaporization with localized photoacoustic excitation in the superheat limit and increases the ablation efficiency. Experiments were carried out utilizing a Q-swiched Nd:YAG laser at near-threshold laser fluences with negligible plasma effect (up to ∼100 MW/cm$^2$).

On this study, we developed the electrostatic eliminator for charged particles in manufacturing process. The characteristics of the electrostatic eliminator were investigated, which is two kinds. The first one is Electrical Corona Discharged Type Ionizer. The second one is Photo Ionizer in using soft X-ray. From the experiment, we have obtained the following results. In case of Electrical Corona Discharged Ionizer, neutralization efficiency of charged particles were approximately saturated to 98% over 6.0kV, but as it is non-explosion proof, can not be used in flammable particle treatment process. While in case of photo Ionizer in using soft X-Ray, neutralization efficiency of charged particles were approximately 95%, and more its structure is explosion proof, could be used in flammable particle treatment process.
