Among Type I supernovae, which show no evidence for hydrogen lines in spectra, Type Ib/c supernovae lack of strong Si absorption lines and are involved with massive progenitors. While strong helium absorption lines are present in Type Ib supernovae, narrow helium emission lines also can appear in some Type Ib that are often called Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn). We consider helium giant stars as a promising progenitor candidate for SN Ibn and suggest the evolutionary scenario through binary systems using MESA code. In our models the range of primary mass is 11 - 20 solar mass, mass ratio is 0.5 - 0.9, and initial period is 1.5 / 1.7 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 day. In particular, we find that the evolution of the secondary star can overtake the primary through mass transfer from the secondary to the primary, which is so-called 'reverse case B' mass transfer. In such systems the secondary star may undergo a supernova explosion earlier than the primary star. In this case, the primary star evolves towards a single helium giant to become a SN Ibn progenitor. These cases are more frequent in relatively low initial primary mass.

In nuclear power plant (NPP) accidents, the containment is subject to high temperatures and high internal pressures, which may further trigger serious chain accidents such as core meltdown and hydrogen explosion, resulting in a significantly higher accident level. Therefore, studying the mechanical performance of a containment under high temperature and high internal pressure is relevant to the safety of NPPs. Based on similarity principles, the 1:3.2 scale model of a prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) of a NPP was designed. The loading method, which considers the thermal-pressure coupling conditions, was used. The mechanical response of the PCCV was investigated with a simultaneous increase in internal pressure and temperature, and the failure mechanism of the PCCV under thermal-pressure coupling conditions was revealed.

수소 등 인화성 가스를 취급하는 사업장은 KS C IEC 60079-10-1 기준에 따라 취급시설 주변을 폭발위험장소로 구분하여 관리하여야 한다. 그렇지만 동 기준은 가스의 종류, 실내·외 여부, 대기조건 등의 구분없이 누출특성값을 기준으로 폭발위험범위를 산정하므로 실효성 등에 대한 의문이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수소를 대상으로 누출특성과 실외대기 조건에서 시뮬레이션(PHAST 및 HyRAM)을 통해 폭발위험범위를 도출하고 IEC 기준의 log-log 그래프에서 비교하였으며, 각 결과에 대한 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 각 조건에서 시뮬레이션 결과가 IEC 기준보다 0.6~3.8배 이상 적게 나타났으며, 동일한 누출특성값에서 풍속 및 대기안정도에 따라 폭발위험범위가 상이한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 누출특성과 폭발위험범위에 대한 선형회귀식을 도출하였다. 따라서, 수소 취급 사업장 등에서 폭발위험범위 산정 시 본 연구에서 제시한 그래프와 선형회귀식을 통하여 IEC 기준과 시뮬레이션 결과를 용이하게 비교 및 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이를 적용할 경우 합리적인 폭발위험장소 구분이 가능하여 경제적인 부담을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 수소 폭발 등의 위험성을 크게 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 전망한다.

가스 산업은 고도화와 복잡성으로 인하여 잠재적인 대형사고의 발생위험이 날로 높아가고 있으며, 특히 가연성, 인화성, 폭발성 및 독성물질 등을 대량으로 취급 및 제조함으로써, 사고발생 가능성은 낮지만 일단 사고가 발생하게 되면 사업장 내부의 근로자뿐만 아니라 인근 주민과 환경에 까지 영향을 미치며, 가스제조 시설의 특성상 산업계에 끼치는 파급효과도 매우 크다. 수소가스는 화학 산업 및 산업계 전반에 걸쳐 중요하게 사용되는 기초 원료이며, 특히 2000년 이후 지구온난화가 대두됨에 따라 지구온난화를 방지할 수 있는 대체에너지로 각광 받고 있으나, 분자량이 낮아 다른 가스에 비하여 고압(150 bar.g 이상)으로 실린더 등의 저장용기에 충전하여 사용해야 한다. 수소는 가연성, 폭발성 물질로써 누출(Leakage)로 인하여 화재나 폭발로 이어지는 사고가 많이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 재해를 줄이기 위해서는 단순한 안전관리에서 벗어나 생산 공정중의 잠재위험(Hazard)을 확인하여 기술적으로 평가한 후, 이 결과를 반영하는 체계적인 안전관리 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구는 산업계 전반에서 사용되고 있는 기초 원료인 가연성, 폭발성의 수소가스 충전시설에 대한 정량적 위험성평가를 실시하였으며, 평가 결과 수소 충전시설에 대한 중요안전요소(EIS, Elements Important for Safety)의 도출 및 이의 효과적 관리방안을 제안하였으며, 사고사례를 통하여 위험성평가 모델의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

Objective: This study inspected incident cases, legal control levels, and GHS(Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) classification results of strong acids such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, which have been responsible for many recent chemical accidents. As a result, it is deemed necessary for legal control levels of these strong acids to be revised and GHS classification be managed nation-wide. Methods: This study inspected incident cases and legal control levels for strong acids such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. The study analyzed and compared chemical information status and GHS classification results. Results: There were 76 domestic incidents involving strongly acidic hazardous materials over the five years between 2007 and 2011. They include 37 leakage incidents(46.7%) within a workplace, 30 leakage incidents(39.5%) during transportation, and nine leakage incidents(13.8%) following an explosion. The strongly acidic materials in question are defined and controlled as toxic chemicals according to the classes of Substances Requiring Preparation for Accidents, Managed Hazardous Substance, Hazardous Chemical(corrosive) as set forth under the Enforcement Decree of the Toxic Chemicals Control Act and Rules on Occupational Safety and Health Standards of Occupational Safety and Health Act. Among them, nitric acid is solely controlled as a class 6 hazardous material, oxidizing liquid, under the Hazardous Chemicals Control Act. The classification results of the EU ECHA(European Chemicals Agency) CLP(Commission Regulation(EC) No. 790/2009 of 10 August 2009, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress, Regulation(EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures) and NIER (National Institute of Environmental Research) are almost identical for the three chemicals, with the exception of sulfuric acid. Much of the classification information of NITE (National Institute of Technology and Evaluation) and KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, KOSHA) is the same. NIER provides 12(41.4%) out of 29 classifications, as does KOSHA.

This paper presents on the evaluation of numerical analysis model of a ball valve used for a gas pipeline. The ball valve has important role to control the gas flow of the pipeline as well as safety operation to prevent gas explosion at the emergency. For the validation of numerical simulation, the computational domains are introduced three different types: a hexahedron chamber connected to a pipeline outlet without considering the geometry of pressure tubes, a pipeline only considered the geometry of pressure tubes, and a pipeline connected both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes. The commercial code, SC/Tetra, is introduced to solve the three-dimensional steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis in the present study. The valve flow coefficient and valve loss coefficient with respect to the valve opening rate of 30%, 50%, and 70% are compared with experimental results. Throughout the numerical analysis for the three analysis domains, pressure computed along the pipeline is affected by computational domains. It is noted pressure obtained by the computational model considering both of the a hexahedron chamber and pressure tubes has a relatively good agreement to the experimental data.

This study was done to evaluate the antioxidant effect of oak hot water extracts on the oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The cytotoxicity of $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress was performed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for the cell viability according to the dose-dependent treatment. Oak extracts demonstrated a dose-dependent ability to inhibit $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis in cultured tenofibroblasts, as assessed by MTT assay and FACS analysis. $H_2O_2$ increased the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, treatment with oak extracts was decreased this activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, as confirmed by western blot analysis, and reduced the production of ROS, as verified by fluorescent microscopic and flow cytometry (FACS) analyses. These findings suggest that oak extracts, by suppressing JNK, ERK1/2, and intracellular ROS production, have a concentration-dependent antiapoptotic effect on achilles tenofibroblasts exposed to an oxidative stressor, and may have therapeutic potential.

Explosions and fires on offshore drilling units and process plants, which cause loss of life and environmental damage, have been studied extensively. However, research on drilling units increased only after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. A major reason for explosions and fires on a drilling unit is blowout, which is caused by a failure to control the high temperatures and pressures upstream of the offshore underwater well. The area susceptible to explosion and fire due to blowout is the drill floor, which supports the main drilling system. Structural instability and collapse of the drill floor can threaten the structural integrity of the entire unit. This study simulates the behavior of fire subsequent to blowout and assesses the thermal load. A heat transfer structure analysis of the drill floor was carried out using the assessed thermal load, and the risk was noted. In order to maintain the structural integrity of the drill floor, passive fire protection of certain areas was recommended.

도심지에는 상 하수관로, 가스관, 수소관 등 필요에 따라 여러 가지 배관이 매설된다. 매설된 배관은 시간이 경과됨에 따라 균열 등으로 노후화되면서 폭발, 누수 등의 사고 발생 위험을 가지게 된다. 이러한 위험을 방지하기 위해 많은 노후 배관 수리, 교체되지만, 배관의 위치 또한 변경될 수 있다. 변경된 배관의 위치를 확인하지 못하면 배관을 건드려서 사고가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPR을 사용하여 지하 단면 영상을 얻고, Faster R-CNN을 활용하여 지하 배관의 위치를 추정해보고, augmentation을 적용하여 부족한 데이터를 늘려서 실험을 진행하였다.
