In this paper, we propose the method of fire detection. A wide distribution of CCTV cameras (Closed Circuit Television) in many public areas can be used not only for video surveillance systems but also for detecting fire occurrence. A proposed approach is based on visual information through a static camera. Video sequences are analyzed to find fire candidates and then spatial analyses procedure for detected fire-like color foreground is carried out. From the simulation results, our method showed the best performance when spatial and temporal fire candidates changes rapidly and close to fire motion.

High temperature preheated and diluted air combustion has been developed as the technology to realize higher thermal efficiency. In this type of combustion, there are many interesting phenomena which cannot be observed in room temperature air combustion. The characteristics of the combustion, investigated using a 3500 kcal/h LPG fired test facility, are described. The flame is demonstrated to have a blue and green in color and has a large volume. As the preheated air temperature increased up to $1000\;^{\circ}C$, the NOx emission incrased exponentially over a few hundred ppm with 11% $O_2$ correction. But, it drastically reducedabout 20ppm when the air was diluted from 21% $O_2$ to 5% $O_2$.

화염 영역 검출을 위해 이전 기법에서는 화재 이미지에서 연기제거 및 색상보정을 통해 이미지를 전처리하였다. 그러나 이 기법은 임계값에 영향을 많이 받고, 밝기채널을 이용하여 검출하기 때문에 밤에 일어난 화재 이미지에서는 평균이상의 퍼포먼스를 수행하지만, 주변이 밝은 대낮의 화재 이미지에서는 퍼포먼스가 줄어드는 문제가 있다. 이를 보완하고자 본 논문에서는 CycleGAN을 이용하여 낮 이미지를 밤 이미지로 바꾸어 이미지 전처리를 진행하는 기법을 제안함으로써 화염 감지의 정확도가 개선되었음을 실험을 통해 보여준다.

The effects of equivalence ratio and pressure on burnt gas temperature in premixed fuel rich propane-oxygen-inert gas combustion are investigated over the wide ranges of equivalence ration from 1.5 to 2.7 and pressure from 0.1 to 7 MPa by using a specially designed disk -type constant-voume combustion chamber, The premixtures are simultaneously ignited by eight spark plugs located on the circumference of combustion chamber with 45 degree interals. The eight converging flames compress the end gases to high pressures. The burnt gas temperature is meausured by the nmodifie dtow-colr pyrometry method. The transmissivity in the chamber center during the final stage of combustion at the hightest pressure is meausred by in situ laser extinction method. It is found that a temperature difference between the burnt gas temperature measured by mofidied and conventrational two-color method is 10 to 20 K, but the accuracy of the modified two-color methdo is higher if the local transmissivity in observed region is uniform , and the combustion at higher pressures results gas density conditions and the burnt gas temperature increases as the volume fraction of argon is increased because the specific heat of argon is lower compared to that of nitrogen with a constant equivalence ratio.

In this study we investigated the materials which locate in the subway station and train cars. We checked the flammability of the materials such as the signboard, newspaper, wide color film etc. We reported some kind of the data such as oxygen index, optical smoke density, surface flame spread speed for that materials. We hope this data will be help to decide the guideline for such materials.

Fuel gases such as methane and propane are used in explosion hazardous area of domestic plants and can form non-uniform mixtures with the influence of process conditions due to leakage. The fire-explosion risk assessment using literature data measured under uniform mixtures, damage prediction can be obtained the different results from actual explosion accidents by gas leaks. An explosion characteristics such as explosion pressure and flame velocity of non-uniform gas mixtures with concentration change similar to that of facility leak were examined. The experiments were conducted in a closed 0.82 m long stainless steel duct with observation recorded by color high speed camera and piezo pressure sensor. Also we proposed the quantification method of non-uniform mixtures from a regression analysis model on the change of concentration difference with time in explosion duct. For the non-uniform condition of this study, the area of flame surface enlarged with increasing the concentration non-uniform in the flame propagation of methane and was similar to the wrinkled flame structure existing in a turbulent flame. The time to peak pressure of methane decreased as the non-uniform increased and the explosion pressure increased with increasing the non-uniform. The ranges of K_G (Deflagration index) of methane with the concentration non-uniform were 1.30 to 1.58 [MPa·m/s] and the increase rate of K_G was 17.7% in methane with changing from uniform to non-uniform.

The ratio pyrometry has been investigated experimentally for the measurement of soot particle temperatures in a diffusion flame. A tungsten lamp calibration system was constructed and used in order to calibrate the ratio pyrometry and two-color pyrometry using a KL-factor method. Once the ratio pyrometry is properly calibrated, temperatures measured using a ratio pyrometry were virtually identical to those obtained from a KL-factor method. The effect of soot volume fraction on temperature measurement was almost negligible, and therefore, the ratio pyrometry could provide the useful temperature information of sooting flames. The potential application of a ratio pyrometry to a 2-D temperature measurement without sacrificing the accuracy was demonstrated.

Self flue gas recirculation flow is an effective method for low NOx emission in the regenerative low NOx burner. The object of this study is to analyze the self flue gas recirculating flow by varying jet velocity of the combustion air. Fuel and air flow rates are fixed and combustion air jet nozzle diameters are 13, 6.5 and 5mm. The stoichiometric line is obtained from the concentration of the fuel using an acetone PLIF technique. It is found that the self flue gas recirculating flow is entrained into that line using a two color PIV technique. As the jet velocity of combustion air is increased, the flue gas entrainment rate into the stoichiometric line is increased. This result suggests that NOx emission can be reduced due to the effects of flue gas which is lowering the flame temperatures.

Soot particle temperatures in co-flow diffusion flames have been measured using a two-color pyrometry at the pressure of 0.2 MPa(2 atm). The measured soot particle temperatures along with the integrated soot volume fractions are analyzed to understand soot formation characteristics. At 0.2 MPa, the addition of small amount of air into ethylene do not change the soot particle temperature in soot formation regions. This result showed that the increase of soot formation with addition of air is mostly due to the chemical effect of the added air, such as the increased role of C3 chemistry during the early stage of soot inception process. The addition of sufficient air into ethylene, however, changes soot particle temperatures and the understanding of soot formation characteristics becomes complicated. Measured soot particle temperatures also showed that there is no significant temperature effect for the synergistic effect of ethylene/propane mixture on soot formation.
