Molten magnesium alloys and magnesium products are easily oxidized and burned when they are exposed to high temperature for manufacturing process and by accident. In order to solve these problems, CaO addition in magnesium alloys has been developed. The ignition resistance of CaO added Mg-3Al, Mg-6Al, and Mg-9Al Eco-Mg alloys were investigated in comparison with those of magnesium alloys without CaO. The ignition resistance was examined by three methods : DTA, furnace chip ignition test, and torch ignition test. DTA was carried out for obtaining quantitative ignition temperature data with respect to specimen geometry and test environment; the furnace ignition test for burr and chip ignition temperature data; and the torch test for ignition temperature data for manufactured products. The ignition resistance of magnesium alloys under all conditions greatly increased by CaO addition.

While wood pellets are often used as a fuel in thermoelectric power plants and firewood boilers, there is a risk of ignition temperature when strong wood pellets, which have a high calorific value, for prolonged periods of time. In this research study, the minimum auto ignition temperature and the ignition limitation temperature according to the change in flow rate depending on the size of the test vessel were calculated, and based on these temperatures, the apparent activation energy was calculated to predict the combustive properties of the material. The apparent activation energy was calculated to be 190.224 kJ/mol. The thicker the sample is storage in the vessel, the longer the ignition induction time was due to the increased difficulty in heat being transferred from the surface of the vessel to the middle section area of the vessel. For vessel of the same size, the higher the flow rate, the lower the auto ignition temperature was. It was also confirmed that increases in the size of the test vessel lowered the auto ignition temperature and increased the ignition induction time.

The ignition delay of diesel oil and fish oil blended with diesel oils was investigated at various pressure and temperature conditions in a constant volume combustion bomb. The evaporation and combustion duration of diesel oil and fish oil blended with diesel oils were respectively different in high and low temperature. The dependence of ignition delay on the temperature was different in high and low temperature ranges which were divided at the 773K. The dependence of ignition delay on the pressure was almost linear, regardless of the test fuels at the constant temperature(863K). The ignition delay became longer as the blending rate of fish oil increased at the constant temperature and pressure, but it was especially short with 20% fish oil blended with diesel oils.

Characteristic of aluminum ignition under high temperature and high pressure is studied using lasers. The laser ablation method is used to generate aluminum particles exposed to a high pressure by using a nanosecond pulsed laser where the range of ablation pressure varies between 0.35 and 2.2 GPa. A $CO_2$ laser is used to supply radiative heat to the aluminum target surface for providing high temperature ranging between 5000~9300 Kelvin. The ignition is confirmed using spectroscopy analysis of AlO vibronic band 484 nm wavelength. Also the radiative temperature is measured in various high pressure range for tracing the ignition temperature in high pressure conditions.

This study investigates the main factors of fire prevention, such as spontaneous ignition and flash point, while using Diehylene Glycol (DEG) as the antifreeze for automobile and industrial machines. Our results show the flash point of $142^{\circ}C$ and the minimum ignition temperature of $388^{\circ}C$ in the range of $130{\mu}{\ell}{\sim}150{\mu}{\ell}$. By increasing temperature to ignite in 1 second, an instantaneous ignition temperature of the sample is $569^{\circ}C$ in the sample amount of $140{\mu}{\ell}$.

This paper presents new ignition method and ignition recognition logic for a microturbine. New ignition method is designed by constant speed control of a microturbine with pre-determined time during a ignition period. It make more accurate air-fuel ratio as well as give enough time to ignition system to have full performance under cold temperature. And ignition recognition logic is designed by observing output current change of inverter by generating output torque of a microturbine in the instant of ignition. For filtering a output torque current of inverter with high frequency, we applied a moving average method. So far, ignition recognition is usually implemented by measuring of exhausted gas temperature(EGT) of microturbine. The proposed logic can give more accurate judgement of ignition as well as keep a good working of starting system under out of order a temperature measuring system and biased initial value of EGT sensor. Finally, the two proposed logics are proved by field operating a microturbine under various conditions.

The main purpose of igniter is sure ignition of main propellant at desired ignition delay times. Since ignition mechanism of solid rocket propellant involves so many complicated physical and chemical phenomena, it is almost impossible to predict ignition behavior with pure analytical means. In this study, one dimensional and unsteady ignition transient phenomena in solid rocket was analyzed by finite volume method. In analysis, assumption was made that ignition occurs when propellant surface temperature reaches to it's auto-ignition temperature.

The characteristics of spontaneous ignition of painting waste was investigated at constant ambient temperature in oven. As the results of experiments, the spontaneous ignition temperature decreased as the sample vessel became large, and the spontaneous ignition temperature of the sample in small, intermediate and large vessels was $165.5^{\circ}C$, $144.5^{\circ}C$ and $134.5^{\circ}C$ respectively. The apparent activation energy calculated by the Frank-Kamentskii's thermal ignition theory was 34.73 kcal/mol.

The characteristics of critical spontaneous ignition of granulated activated carbon were investigated In atmospheres of differing oxygen concentration. At the same concentration the larger vessels yielded the lower critical spontaneous ignition temperature. At the same vessel, as the concentration of oxygen was reduced, Ignition occurred later and at higher ambient temperature, and critical spontaneous ignition temperature increased. The apparent activation energy calculated from the Frank-Kamenetskii's ignition theory appeared to be the slight different value respectively and the mean apparent activation energy was 19850㎈/㏖.
