폭굉한계는 가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발 위험성을 결정하기 위해 사용되는 중요한 연소 특성치 가운데 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 가연성혼합물의 구성하는 각 순수성분의 연소열과 기상 조성을 이용하여 폭발한계를 예측하였다. 제시된 방법론에 의한 계산값은 적은 오차범위에서 문헌값과 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론이 다른 가연성물질의 폭굉한계 예측에 폭넓게 적용되기를 기대한다.

Various flammable vapors as energy source and raw material have been stored, transported in the industries, and accidental leakage of these vapors occurs occasionally. Without an appropriate protection system, flammable vapors can be ignited and serious damage results from them. To reduce the risk caused by explosion, we should know the explosion limit and explosion characteristics. In this study, the maximum explosion pressure, the maximum explosion pressure rise, the effect of temperature and mixing with other vapor were measured in a cylindrical vessel. Experimental results showed that maximum explosion pressure of flammable vapor was about 3.1~$4.2 kg/cm^2$ and it was reached 3.4 times faster than that at explosion limit. The lower explosion limit was coincided well with Le Chateilier's equation, however, upper explosion limit was not.

The aim of this study is to investigate the temperature dependence of the lower explosive limit(LEL) at elevated temperature. The temperature dependence of the lower explosive limit is one of the significant indices of flammability and combustibility. By using the literature data, the new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the lower explosive limits for paraffinic hydrocarbons are proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data. It is hoped eventually that this proposed equations will support the use of the prediction for the lower explosive limit and the flash points of the flammable mixtures.

The flammable gas monitoring system is to be provided in cargo pump rooms of tankers in accordance with the requirements of SOLAS regulations, and flammable gas detectors are to be arranged in a proper position. In this paper, simulation tests and CFD analysis are carried out under the actual ventilation conditions of pump rooms in the ship in service. Based on the results, a new guidelines for an arrangement of flammable gas detectors are suggested.

폭발한계는 가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발 위험성을 결정하기 위해 사용되는 중요한 연소 특성치 가운데 하나이다. 폭발한계는 상대 연소에 따라 가연성물질을 구분하는데 사용된다. 이런 구분은 가연성물질의 안전한 취급, 처리, 수송을 위해서 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 가연성혼합물의 구성하는 각 순수성분의 연소열과 기상 조성을 이용하여 폭발한계를 예측하였다. 제시된 방법론에 의한 계산값은 적은 오차범위에서 문헌값과 일치하였다. 따라서 제시된 결과로부터 가연성혼합물의 폭발특성치 예측 방법과 다른 가연성혼합물의 폭발한계 예측에 폭넓게 적용되기를 기대한다.

인화점은 가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발의 잠재위험성를 결정하는 데 가장 중요한 기초적인 특성치 가운데 하나이다. 인화점의 구분은 혼합용제를 구성하는 가연성액체를 안전하게 취급하기 위해서 매우 중요하다. 모든 인화점 거동의 기초는 증기압과 폭발한계이다. 가연성혼합용제의 인화점은 라울의 법칙, 달톤의 법칙, 르샤틀리에 법칙 그리고 활동도계수 모델을 사용함으로서 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가연성 3성분계의 하부인화점의 문헌값을 라울의 법칙과 MRSM 모델에 의해 계산된 값과 비교하였다. 3성분계의 하부인화점의 자료는 라울의 법칙과 MRSM 모델에 의해 예측된 값과 거의 일치하였다. 제시한 방법론에 의해 가연성혼합용제의 인화점 실험자료의 신뢰도를 평가하는 것이 가능하다.

A study has been conducted to investigate the effect of swirl angle in low swirl combustor. In this study, the employed swirl angles were $28^{\circ}$, $32^{\circ}$ and $37^{\circ}$. Direct flame photos show that the width of the flame is expanded and the length of the flame is shortened when swirl angle is increased. Also, as the swirl angle was increased, the flame stability region could be widened due to the expansion of lower flammable limit. Between 3 and 7kW, CO emissions was below 10 ppm and NOx emissions was also below 27 ppm at $O_2$ 15% basis over the lean burning range of 0.6 < ${\Phi}$ < 0.9. From this investigation of stability expansion effect and emission performance, it was identified that the swirl angle $37^{\circ}$ is most suitable swirling condition in the low swirl model combustor.

Leaking of fuel gas in a building creates flammable atmosphere and gives rise to explosion. Observations from accidents suggest that some explosions are caused by quantity of gas significantly less than the lower explosion limit amount required to fill the whole confined space, which might be attributed to inhomogeneous mixing of the leaked gas. The minimum amount of leaked gas for explosion is highly dependent on the degree of mixing in the building. This paper proposes a method for estimating minimum amount of flammable gas for explosion assuming Gaussian distribution of flammable gas.

The research on the explosive limits is one of fundamental fields of combustion process, and information on the explosive limits of mixture of fuel and oxidant, with or without additives, is very important for the prevention in industrial fire and explosion accidents. Explosive limits of all compounds and solvent mixtures can be calculated with the appropriate use of the fundamental laws of Raoult, Batten, Le Chatelier and MRSM(modified response surface methodology) model. In this study, the reference values of lower explosive limits(LEL) of the ethanol+toluene+ethylacetate system were compared with the calculated values by using the solution thermodynamics and the MRSM model, respectively. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. By means of this methodology, it is possible to evaluate reliability of experimental data of the lower explosive limits of the flammable mixtures. Also, from given results, it is possible to predict explosive limits of the other flammable liquid mixtures used in the chemical process by the use of the proposed equations.
