An experimental and numerical analysis were conducted to investigate the transient temperature distribution and flame propagation characteristics over an inline polystyrene spheres under microgravity. From the experimental, a self-ignition temperature of polystyrene bead was 872 K under gravity. Flame spread rates were 4.7-5.1 mm/s with ambient gas N$_2$and 2.3-2.5 mm/s with ambient gas CO$_2$, respectively. Flame radius diameters were 17 mm with ambient gas N$_2$and 9.6 mm with ambient gas CO$_2$, respectively. These results suggest that the flame propagation speed could be affected in the Diesel engine and the boiler combustor by EGR. In terms of the flame spread rate and the transient temperature profile, numerical results have the qualitative agreement with the experiment.

An experimental study on downwardly and upwardly spreading flames over slanted electrical wire, which is insulated by Polyethylene(PE), was conducted with applied AC electric field. The result showed that downwardly and upwardly spreading flames with angle of inclination leaned toward burnt side and unburned side, respectively. With applied AC electric fields, size of downwardly spreading flame decreased slightly and that of upwardly spreading flame increased significantly. Flame spread rate showed various trends in terms of inclination, applied voltage and frequency.

This Study is to suggest a method of effect evaluation of forest fire on governor station in shrub land. Theoretically, to evaluate effects of forest fire, it is combined that Spread Rate of Forest Fire, Flame Model, and Thermal Radiation Effects Model; i.e. a travel time of forest fire is calculated by Spread Rate of Forest Fire, fire-line intensity is calculated by Flame Model, and effects of fire-line intensity is affected by Thermal Radiation Effects Model. With the aforementioned method, we could carry out the effect evaluation of forest fire on governor station in shrub land and could distinguish scenarios to need protection plan from all scenarios.

미립 금속분체에 대한 산업 수요 증가와 함께, 퇴적 금속분의 착화에 의한 화재, 폭발사고가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴적 금속분체의 화재, 폭발 위험특성을 조사하기 위하여 새로운 실험장치를 개발하였다. 금속분(Mg, Zr, Ta, Ti) 및 PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate)분진을 사용하여, 연소 거동(소염거리, 화염전파속도) 및 화염전파에 미치는 $N_2$ 치환 분위기 농도의 영향 등을 실험적으로 상세히 조사하였다. 실험결과로부터, 퇴적 금속 분체의 화염전파속도는 PMMA보다 크고, 화염전파속도의 퇴적층 두께에 대한 의존성은 작으며, 질소 치환 분위기에서의 Mg의 한계 산소 농도는 3.6-3.7 vol%로 나타났다. 퇴적금속 분체층의 화염전파속도와 소염거리 역수는 높은 상관관계를 가지고 있으며, 이들 연소성 지표에 있어서 상대적인 위험성의 예측이 가능하다.

퇴적금속분체의 입경 변화에 따른 화염전파 거동과 발화특성을 자체 제작한 실험장치와 열중량분석 시험장치를 활용하여 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 평균입경이 다른 Mg, Ti를 포함한 Zr, Ta, Mg-Al(90:10 wt%)의 금속분진과 PMMA 시료를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 금속 퇴적층의 두께가 5 mm 이상의 경우에는 화염전파속도의 퇴적층 두께에 대한 의존성이 나타나지 않았다. 평균 입경이 작을수록 Ti는 화염전파속도가 증가하지만 Mg의 경우에는 화염전파속도가 감소하였다. 평균입경 $51{\mu}m$에 있어서 Mg퇴적분체는 Mg-Al(90:10%wt)합금 퇴적분체에 비하여 화염전파속도가 약 50%가 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 조사한 금속분체 산화물층 두께는 화염전파속도와 반비례하는 경향을 보였으며 입경 변화에 따른 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 또한 Ti와 Mg의 열중량 분석시험 결과, Mg는 $550^{\circ}C$, Ta는 $578^{\circ}C$에서 발화에 의한 연소로 판단되는 중량 증가가 관찰되었다.

본 연구에서는 공사현장에서 사용하고 있는 칼라 부직포의 화재위험성을 평가하기 위하여 콘칼로미터와 수직화염전파성 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 칼라 부직포는 표변에 화염이 착화가 되는 것이 아니라 용융이 된 상태에서 가연성가스가 발생되어 착화되는 연소형태를 보였다. 수직화염전파성 실험의 경우 가열강도에 의해 칼라 부직포가 수축 및 파단되어 화염이 전파되지 않을 정도로 열에 매우 취약하였다. 총방출열량은 2.66 MJ/$m^2$로, 건축물 실내마감재료 난연성능평가의 준불연재료(10분), 난연재료(5분) 8 MJ/$m^2$ 이하 기준에 규합되지만 이것은 내장재의 기준으로 칼라 부직포가 난연성능을 가지고 판단할 수 없으며 외장재에 대한 난연성능과 실험방법에 대한 기준이 마련되어야 한다고 판단된다.

Research to discuss the fire performance of materials requires tools for measuring their burning characteristics and validated fire growth models to predict fire behavior of the materials under specific tire scenarios using the measured properties as input for the models. In this study, burning characteristics such as time to ignition, weight loss rate, flame spread, heat release rate, total heat evolved, and effective heat of combustion for four types of wood-based materials were evaluated using the cone calorimeter and inclined panel tests. Time to ignition was affected by not only surface condition and specific gravity of the tested materials but also the type and magnitude of heat source. Results of weight loss rate, measured by inclined panel tests, indicated that heat transfer from the contacted flame used as the heat source into the inner part of the specimen was inversely proportional to specific gravity of material. Flame spread was closely related with ignition time at the near part of burning zone. Under constant and severe external heat flux, there was little difference in weight loss rate and total heat evolved between four types of wood-based panels. More applied heat flux caused by longer ignition time induced a higher first peak value of heat release rate. Burning characteristics data measured in this study can be used effectively as input for fire growth models to predict the fire behavior of materials under specific fire scenarios.

In the case of the fire outburst within a partitioned space, it can disappear inside it through smoldering process if the fire cannot obtain sufficient imflammability. On the contrary, if it obtains it, the fire is not restricted within the room, spreading to the higher levels beyond outside windows and the compartment room. The method to prevent the fire spread through windows is considered to build a balcony or equip with sprinkler facilities. This case study is to identify which effects and controlibility a balcony brings about on the spread of fire through a full scale model experiment. In order to understand the effects of fire spread on the upper levels of the room on fire by changing the length of balcony, the temperature was measured, radiant heat was investigated, and products of combustion were analyzed. The result showed that when fire occured, longer length of the balcony, which linked to the outside wall of the apartments, led to the blocking of the fire spread, lower level of radiant heat, and significantly less transfer of toxic gases, and the driving force of the outburst of flame was identified as the attractive force due to the turbulence of uncombusted gases, which exist on the upper level of the outbursting flame.

The present study has been conducted to examine the effect of grid resolution on the predicted results for electric cable fire using pyrolysis model in FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator, version 5). The grid independent test for different grid resolutions has been performed for a PE coating cable and the grid resolution is defined by the non-dimensional characteristic length of fire and mean grid size. The calculated maximum heat release rate and mean flame spread rate were almost constant for higher grid resolution of 20${\sim}$25 and the computing time for the grid resolution takes approximately 20hours to solve flame propagation with pyrolysis model. The geometrical simplification of a electric cable dose not greatly affect on the maximum heat release rate and flame spread rate and the rectangular approximation of cable shape gives acceptable result comparing with the round cable with stepwise grid.
