This study was performed to evaluate the burning characteristics of wood-based materials and the effect of surface treatment of fire retardant using cone calorimeter. Four types of wood-based materials, such as Plywood, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Particle Board (PB) and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), were tested at a constant heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ to investigate the time to ignition, mass loss rate, heat release rate, effective heat of combustion, etc. In addition, each type of wood-based material was tested at the same heat flux after fire retardant treatment on the surface to evaluate the effect of this treatment on the burning characteristics. The surface treatment of fire retardant, by the amount of $110g/m^2$, delayed the time to ignition almost twice. However, it was indicated that heat release rate, mass loss rate, and effective heat of combustion were not significantly affected by fire retardants treatment for all types of wood-based materials.

Combustion characteristics of the wood chips(balsa chips) were experimentally investigated with respect to the thermal recycle system of the urban waste. The urban waste contains plastics, vegetable and wood materials. Wood was chosen as an example of the one of the component of urban dust. A small wood chip was burned in a electric furnace by the micro-electric balance. The mass reduction rate was normalized by the initial mass of test piece and the time of volatile combustion end. When the mass of the wood chips(balsa chips) was larger than 0.5g, the combustion similarity was found on the normalized mass reduction rate.

In the present study, the flame factor which primarily influence the simulation accuracy of the combustion process in a gasoline engine was modeled as a nonlinear function of turbulent intensity to laminar flame speed ratio. Multi-length-scale production rate model for turbulent kinetic energy equation was introduced to consider the different length scales of the swirling and tumbling motions in cylinder on the production rte of turbulent kinetic energy. By7 introducing the multi-length-scale production rate model for the turbulent kinetic energy equation, the predictions of turbulent burning velocity , cylinder pressure, mass burning rate and engine performance of a gasoline engine can much be improved.

본 연구는 터널내 화재 발생시 종류식 환기가 연소율 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 Froude scaling에 의해 1/20크기로 축소한 모형화재 실험을 수행하였다. 화원으로는 $8.5cm{\sim}14.5cm$의 메탄올을 사용하였으며 발열량은 $3.57{\sim}10.95kW$이다. 연소율은 로드셀을 이용하여 산출하였고, 연기거동을 파악하기 위하여 K형 열전대를 이용하여 온도분포를 측정하였다. 풍동은 터널의 한쪽부분과 연결하였고, 터널 공간의 배연속도를 제어하기 위하여 풍동의 전압을 조절하였다. 메탄올 화재인 경우 배연속도가 증가할수록 냉각효과로 인하여 연소율은 감소하였으며, 또한 같은 무차원속도(V)일때 화원 크기가 커짐에 따라 연소율은 감소하였다.

Combustion characteristics of immobilized benzene and toluene in sands were studied. Experiments were performed by burning benzene and toluene immobilized on sands(particle size 0.1~0.5mm) to measure combustion rate and combustion temperature. The longer time from ignition to extinguishment was resulted from the larger particle size exhibited the higher mass burning rate. Of aromatic compounds tested the relative magnitude of facilitation of combustion was benzene and toluene. Combustion temperature of benzene and toluene without regard to the types of benzene and toluene was not increased with smaller sand. However, with larger sands, combustion temperature of benzene and toluene were increased by 50~$100^{\circ}C$ and the highest combustion temperature was obtained with larger sands.

The axial-injection end-burning hybrid rocket proposed twenty years ago by the authors recently recaptured the attention of researchers for its virtues such as no ${\zeta}$ (oxidizer to fuel mass ratio) shift during firing and good throttling characteristics. This paper is the first report verifying these virtues using a laboratory scale motor. There are several requirements for realizing this type of hybrid rocket: 1) high fuel filling rate for obtaining an optimal ${\zeta}$; 2) small port intervals for increasing port merging rate; 3) ports arrayed across the entire fuel section. Because these requirements could not be satisfied by common manufacturing methods, no previous researchers have conducted experiments with this kind of hybrid rocket. Recent advances in high accuracy 3D printing now allow for fuel to be produced that meets these three requirements. The fuel grains used in this study were produced by a high precision light polymerized 3D printer. Each grain consisted of an array of 0.3 mm diameter ports for a fuel filling rate of 98% .The authors conducted several firing tests with various oxidizer mass flow rates and chamber pressures, and analysed the results, including ${\zeta}$ history, using a new reconstruction technique. The results show that ${\zeta}$ remains almost constant throughout tests of varying oxidizer mass flow rates, and that regression rate in the axial direction is a nearly linear function of chamber pressure with a pressure exponent of 0.996.

The principal actions of a flame retardant are to decrease or prevent the formation of volatile products and increase the formation of char layer. Use of flame retardant additives can decrease the overall fire hazard of the product containing them thus leading to an increase in overall fire safety. Although several flame retardants have been developed for use in polymers, many of these are known to increase the amount of smoke and toxic gases generated by them. This paper present a new flame retardant using metal addition flame retardant. For this study, the experiments of flame retardancy conducted are as follows : burning ratio, weight loss rate using TGA-DTA, the measurement of LOI and char yield. And smoke mass concentration and CO yield were measured. The metal addition flame retardant reduced burning ratio and weight loss rate, increased the LOI and yield of char formation with decreased smoke mass concentration and CO yield.

This work describes a model development and numerical simulation of detailed combustion mechanisms of RDX/GAP/BTIN propellants. The analysis is based on the conservation equations of mass, energy, and species concentrations for both the condensed and gas phases, and takes into account finite-rate chemical kinetics and variable thermophysical properties. The model has been applied to study the combustion wave structures and burning characteristics of RDX/GAP/BTIN propellants over a broad range of pressures. Reasonably good agreement is achieved between the calculated and measured burning rate at atmospheric pressure. But the model calculation does not result in dark zone experimentally observed.

건축물의 성능위주 소방설계의 활용성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서는 다양한 화재실험 및 조사 등을 통해 가연물의 연소물성에 관한 광범위하고 다양한 데이터베이스가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 건축물의 성능위주 소방설계에 활용하기 위해 건축물의 내장용 판재 2종과 내장용 루버 3종을 대상으로 연소시험을 실행하여 연소발열특성 등을 파악하였다. 또한 내장용 판재는 그 두께에 따라 최대열방출률 등 연소발열성상에 차이가 발생할 가능성이 있으므로 판재의 두께에 따라 연소시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 내장재 판재 및 루버의 단위연소량당 평균발열량은 15.3MJ/kg~16.9MJ/kg이었고, 내장용 판재의 평균최대열방출률과 평균최대이산화탄소 농도는 판재의 두께에 따라 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었다.

In recent years, concerns have been growing globally regarding greenhouse gases. Open burning of biomass causes emission of a number of greenhouse and other gases and substances. This paper studied an analysis on the characteristics of four types of biomass using duel type cone calorimeter. Cone calorimeter is widely used for assessing combustibility of materials in Europe. As a result, we evaluated several characteristics of biomass, such as heat released rate, smoke production rate, CO, $CO_2$ production and mass loss rate, and so on. $CO_2$ is currently responsible for over $60\%$ of the enhanced greenhouse effect, and may be the most important contributor to future. $CO_2$ production for biomass in the range of $1.74\~1.99kg/kg$ is similar to previous research conducted by Bhattacharya et al. (2002a).
