Heat release rate used to characterize the fire is an important factor for determining the fire size, the fire growth and the time for suppression and evacuation. The purpose of present work is to review theoretical backgrounds and to introduce equations for estimation of heat release rate with oxygen consumption method in fires. Our work also shows the experimental results of applications for liquid fuels. The oxygen concentration is measured by the analyzer of paramagnetic type. The analyzers of Infra-Red type are used to measure the concentrations of $CO_2$ and CO gas. Time delays of analyzers are ignored.

효율적인 산불예방과 진화활동을 위해서는 산불 발생 및 확산특성에 대한 분석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 1970년부터 2005년까지 총 36년간의 월별 산불 발생건수 및 연소면적 자료를 이용하여 산불특성을 분석하고, Box-Jenkins의 ARIMA 모형을 이용하여 시계열 예측모형을 추정하였다. 분석 결과 발생건수 및 연소면적은 월별로 유의한 차이가 있었는데, 3월과 4월 두 달 동안 전체 발생건수의 59%, 연소면적의 72%가 집중되었다. 발생건수와 연소면적 모두에 있어서 ARIMA(1, 0, 1) 모형이 적합한 모델로 선정되었으며, 산불은 1개월과 12개월 전의 발생건수, 연소면적 수치와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In order to improve extinguishing performance of water mist, many studies of additives have been conducted. In this study, viscosity agent which has the ability to improve extinguishing performance by adhering to the surface on fire was used and fluorine-free surfactant was also added to water to enhance water's wetting ability. This study aimed to verify optimal concentration of extinguishing of additives according to fire source and extinguishing performance by comparison with pure water. In case of wood crib fire, the results show that flame suppression and extinguishing time of sodium alginate 0.4 wt.% are 3.4 times and 2.2 times shorter than those of pure water in 0.2 MPa respectively. It seems that large amount of water adhere to surface on fire, thus cooling effect on surface was enhanced. Also water consumption of sodium alginate 0.4wt.% is up to 65% lower than that of pure water. In case of heptane fire, extinguishing time of cocobetaine 0.1 wt.% is 9.7 times shorter than that of pure water in 0.2 MPa. It is thought that because cocobetaine can block oxygen and suppress oil mist by making emulsion film on fire surface due to a low surface tension. On the other hand, water consumption of cocobetaine 0.1 wt.% is 92% lower than that of pure water.

본 논문에서는 산불 발생 시 화재의 확산경로와 속도 예측이 가능한 관제 모니터링 알고리즘을 개발 하였다. 특히 관제 기능에서는 안전 구역 확보를 통해 화재진압에 소요되는 시간을 줄이고 인명, 산림재산 피해를 최소화 하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 산불 확산 경로 예측 방법에서는 지형, 기상, 연료인자, 영상정보 등을 통해 산불 확산 모델 및 속도를 예측한다. 하지만 이 경우 범위가 넓은 산을 관제하기엔 비용도 많이 소요가 되고, 확산 모델 예측 및 경로 파악에만 집중하여 안전 구역 확보에 대한 노력이 부족한 문제점들이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 산불의 이동방향과 속도를 예측하고 화재 진압을 위한 안전구역을 확보하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 온도 변화량 및 연기와 풍향 등의 산불 재난에 따른 속성정보를 분석하여 산불의 이동방향을 예측하고 안전구역을 확보하는 기법이다. 개발된 훈련 관제 모니터링 시스템은 주어진 모의실험 환경에서 산불의 이동 속도 및 이동 방향의 분석이 가능하고 산불에 대한 확산 예측과 진화 및 진압 훈련이 가능한 중앙관제 모니터링 기능을 제공한다.

An experimental study is performed for extinguishing of n-heptane pool fire by water mist containing potassium acetate as a fire suppression additive. Water mist was generated by a single pressure nozzle in a small-scale chamber. The drop size distribution of water mist was measured using laser diffraction(Malvern particle sizer). The flame temperature, oxygen concentration and carbon monoxide concentration were measured. In case of using additives, the fire extinguishing time was shorter than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing additives was increased. And also dissociated metal atoms, potassium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH, H which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

Fire localization is a key mission that must be preceded for an autonomous fire suppression system. Although studies using a variety of sensors for the localization are actively being conducted, the fire localization is still unfinished due to the high cost and low performance. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of the fire localization estimation using Bayesian estimation to determine the probabilistic location of the fire. To minimize the risk of fire accidents as well as the time and cost of preparing and executing live fire tests, a 40m × 40m-virtual space is created, where two ultraviolet sensors are simulated to rotate horizontally to collect ultraviolet signals. In addition, Bayesian estimation is executed to compute the probability of the fire location by considering both sensor errors and uncertainty under fire environments. For the validation of the proposed method, sixteen fires were simulated in different locations and evaluated by calculating the difference in distance between simulated and estimated fire locations. As a result, the proposed method demonstrates reliable outputs, showing that the error distribution tendency widens as the radial distance between the sensor and the fire increases.

This research has set up the fire protection and early suppression plan for Asan Oeam folk village which is composed of traditional wooden building instinct or complex. The results of this study are as follows. 1. The traditional wooden buildings require attentive considerations about the fire property of the Waga and the straw roofed house. Especially, as the straw roofed house has property that the transfer and development of the fire is fast. Therefore we studied on the transferring possibilities of the fire dangerous instinct through measuring the distance from of the eaves edge and trees in neighboring house. 2. This research proposes the tools for the priority protective building through consideration of fire risk and cultural priority because the fire prevention for all is impossible at the same time. 3. The most important thing is preserve the cultural identities of traditional folk village in establishing the fire hydrant and fire prevention facilities. Traditional folk village landscape should be considered.

As one of the explosion suppression methods of LPG tank exposed to hot environment by an accident or fire, some material which has large heat capacity and thermal conductivity can be installed inside the LPG tank in order to suppress the temperature increasement of tank wall. In the present study, theoretical model for the horizontally locating cylindrical LPG tank with and without the aluminum explosion suppression material has been developed to predict the characteristics of system. As a parametric study, effects of two major parameters, thickness of material filling and initial vapor volume fraction, on the time variation of wall temperature, temperature and pressure in tank are numerically examined. The results of present study show that the thickness of material filling does not give big differences in the suppression characteristics when the thickness of filling is larger than three inches. In case of material filling, there are marked suppression effects to the increase-ment of wall temperature, average vapor temperature and pressure in tank compared with the case of no filling.

저렴하면서도 가장 손쉽게 접근할 수 있는 수동식소화기는 화재 초기진화에 있어 매우 효과적인 소화설비로서, 설치 소화기의 초기 성능을 지속적으로 유지하기 위해서는 정기점검 및 적절한 관리가 필요하다. 그러나 소화기는 불완전한 분말 방수코팅으로 일정기간이 지나면 수분 흡수에 의해 굳거나, 충전압력의 누설로 인하여 제 성능을 발휘하지 못하는 경우가 허다하며, 이에 따라 무자격 충약업자들에 의해 임의로 약제 교환 및 부적절한 재충전이 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. 또한 소화기에 대한 법적 사용 내구연한이 없어 오래된 불량소화기가 그대로 방치되어 있는 등 전체적으로 화재 시의 초기대응이 매우 취약한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 관련한 구체적인 사례들을 조사하고 그 문제점들을 지적하였으며, 이를 개선하기 위한 방안들을 모색하였다.

In this paper, authors will develop the quick and precise remote controller of automatic fire detection equipment (P-type one-class receiver) based on information communication technology (IT). The remote controller detects the fire and disaster in the building automatically and quickly and then activates the facilities to extinguish the fire and disaster, monitoring such situation in a real time through wire-wireless communication network. The proposed remote controller is applied a programmable logic device (PLD) micom. of one-chip type which is small size and lightweight and also has highly sensitive-precise reliabilities. The one-chip type PLD micom. analyzes digital signals from sensors, then activates fire extinguishing facilities for alarm and rapid suppression in a case of fire and disaster. The detected data is also transferred to a remote situation room through wire-wireless network of RS232c and bluetooth communication, and then the situation room sends an emergency alarm signal. The automatic fire detection equipment (AFDE) based on IT will minimize the life and wealth loss while prevents fire and disaster.
