  • 대표적 가스계 소화약제인 $CO_2$의 소화기구(Extinguishing mechanism)를 재조명하기 위하여, $CH_4$/air 저 신장율 대향류 확산화염을 대상으로 $CO_2$가 소화에 미치는 영향에 대한 수치해석이 수행되었다. 부력이 지배적인 화염의 소화현상은 복사 열손실에 의해 큰 영향을 받기 때문에, 소화농도 예측에 대한 복사모델의 성능평가가 우선적으로 이루어졌다. 주요 결과로서, 공기류에 첨가된 $CO_2$의 소화농도는 복사모델이 고려되지 않은 경우 과다 예측되는 반면에, 간략화된 광학적으로 얇은 근사(Optically thin approximation) 모델과 비교적 높은 정확도를 갖는 좁은 밴드(Statistical narrow band) 모델은 실험의 오차범위 내에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. $CO_2$가 소화에 미치는 순수 희석효과, 희석에 의한 복사효과, 화학적 효과 및 열적효과를 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 가상의 소화약제의 개념을 도입하였다. 이를 통해 화염의 총괄신장율에 따른 $CO_2$ 소화효과에 대한 구체적인 이해가 시도되었다.

  • A core device of foam system is the in-line eductor and it is the device to mix the foam liquid into liquid solution proper to the use density and the mixture ratio must be kept regularly regardless of changing fluid condition of the front and rear end of the in-line eductor. However, if the flux of the pressurized water changes, the mixture ratio is not kept regularly, and so it becomes a cause which a performance of fire-extinguishing deteriorates in discharging foam liquid. I devise a method to improve it that the metering orifice type in-line eductor is improved into the metering venturi type in-line eductor, the fluctuation of the mixture ratio to the flux change of the pressurized water is minimized and the performance of fire-extinguishing is kept regularly. As this method is simple in its structure and can be designed at a low cost, it helps for maintenance as well. In the future, it seems to need the research for the metering nozzle type in-line eductor in the future.

  • Lots of products stocked at a traditional market are made of rubbers, synthetic fibers and plastics which when on fire, emit high heat to easily ignite nearby inflammables. And shops are not divided by fireproof partitions but by combustible curtains, which contributes to a possibility of a conflagration. In this study, danger and weak factors on fire at a traditional market was analyzed. Non-existence of partition between shops and the height of piled inflammables are set as danger factors and change of extinguishing capacity of sprinklers was analyzed using fire dynamics simulator. As a result, it turned out that partitions between shops and high-piled inflammables reduced watering radius of sprinklers and increased the size of fire and distribution of temperature.

  • The ion exchange resins were synthesized from 1-aza-18-crown-6 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene (2th petroleum in 4th class hazardous material) divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer with crosslinks of 1%, 6%, and 15% by substitution reaction. These synthetic resins were confirmed by chlorine content, elementary analysis, surface area, and IR-spectrum. The object of this study was to seperate the metal ion absorbed in reinforcement water fire extinguishing agent. As the results of the effects of pH, equilibrium arrival time, and crosslink of synthetic resin on metal ion adsorption for resin adsorbent, the metal ions were showed high adsorption at pH 3 or over and adsorption equilibrium of metal ions was about 2 hours. In addition, adsorption selectivity for the resin in water was the order of Al (III) > Ni (II) > Sm (III) ions, adsorbability of the metal ions was in the crosslinks order of 1%, 6%, and 15%.

  • Recently, fire extinguishing systems based on water mists have been attracting public attentions in marine engineering. Performance of the fire extinguishing systems is influenced by the size and distribution of spayed water mists. Droplet analyzing method based on image processing technique for measuring droplet size and distribution has been developed. The morphological method based on partial curvature information of pre-processed images was adopted for recognition and separation of overlapped particles. Tested results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the size and distribution of droplets produced by water mist spay flow.

  • Resins were synthesized with 1-aza-15-crown-5 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene(dangerous matter) divinylbenzene(DVB) copolymer with crosslink of 1, 2, 6 and 15% by substitution reaction. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, and IR-spectrum. The effects of pH, time and crosslink on adsorption of metal ion from water fire extinguishing agent by the synthetic resin adsorbent were investigated. The metal ion was showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 3. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in water was in increasing order of $Mg^{2+}>Al^{3+}>Pb^{2+}$. The adsorption was in the order of 1, 2, 6, and 15% crosslink resin.

  • Experiments were conducted to develop foaming agents by using SLES and DH-l09EX as raw material. PG (Propylene glycol) and BC (Butyl cellusolve) were adopted as subsidiary material. The undiluted foam solution was produced with these materials. This solution determined the expansion ratio, viscosity, drainage time and extinguishing ability of the final product. The results indicate that the expansion ratio is over 16 and drainage time is over one minute. The extinguishing ability for SLES system was succeeded in the unit of B-0.5.
