교통난 해소와 녹지공간의 확보를 위해서 도심지 소형차 전용 소단면 터널이 증가하는 추세이나 소단면 터널에 대한 방재시설 설치를 위한 기준은 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대배기구 방식을 적용한 소단면 터널에서 화재가 발생하는 경우 열환경 및 유해가스(CO)의 농도 특성을 고찰하기 위해 A86터널, 서울시에서 계획한 바 있는 U-Smartway터널, 서부간선터널을 모델로 하여 터널 단면적, 화재강도 및 배연풍량에 따른 화재시 터널내 온도 및 유해가스농도를 수치해석적인 방법으로 해석하고 비교 검토하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 터널 단면적이 감소하면 화원부의 온도는 증가하나 온도 상승률이 화재강도변화에 미치는 영향은 적다. 그러나 배연풍량 변화에 따라 큰 차이가 발생한다. 대배 기구 방식의 배연풍량으로 Q3+2.5Ar을 적용하는 경우, 화원부 온도는 서부간선터널($Ar=46.67m^2$)을 기준으로 하는 경우, A86($Ar=25.3m^2$)은 7.1배, U-smartway($Ar=37.32m^2$)는 5.4배가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 화원부의 CO농도도 동일한 경향을 보이고 있으며, 서부간선터널 대비 A86터널은 10.7배 U-Smartway는 9.5배로 나타났다. 따라서 소단면 터널의 경우, 단면적감소에 따른 열환경 및 유해가스농도는 단면적 감소율 보다 상당히 크게 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: Many cases of lung cancer have been reported by school kitchen workers as occupational cancer. Twenty-eight schools in Gyeongsangnam-do Province were selected to evaluate the effect of improved kitchen ventilation systems. Ventilation characteristics before and after renovation were compared and design techniques were identified. Methods: In the design stage for kitchen ventilation systems, expert intervention was used to improve the designs. Ventilation characteristics and air quality were evaluated before and after the renovations. Hood face velocity and fan flow rate were measured and the smoke visualization technique was used to evaluate the capability of protecting worker's breathing zone. The concentrations of PM_0.3 were measured at points not adjacent to cooking equipment because these concentrations fluctuate greatly. Results: Mean hood face velocity increased from 0.29 m/s before renovation to 0.7m/s after renovation. The concentrations of PM_0.3 showed a roughly 95% reduction. Concentrations of CO showed more than a 75% reduction. Smoke visualization showed greater protection of workers' breathing zone. Conclusions: Advanced design techniques for school kitchen ventilation systems were applied to renovate old kitchen ventilation systems. The performance of the new kitchen ventilation systems was nearly excellent. Further improvement of design techniques is still needed, however.

본 연구에서는 공동주택 화재 시 부속실 가압 시스템의 방연풍속에 관하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 통해 댐퍼의 급기량과 방화문에서의 방연풍속의 관계식을 선형적으로 나타내었고 국가화재안전기준인 방연풍속 0.7 m/s를 만족하는 댐퍼의 최소유량을 선정할 수 있었다. 댐퍼의 최소유량을 적용하여 댐퍼의 급기 방향과 설치 높이에 따라 방연속도를 분석하였다. 댐퍼의 급기 방향이 상향인 경우와 댐퍼가 높게 설치되었을 때 댐퍼의 급기 방향이 하향인 경우보다 방화문 상부에서 더 큰 방연풍속을 나타내었고 누출된 연기 농도가 더 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 방화문 상부에서 큰 방연풍속을 확보하는 것이 제연에 더 효율적일 것으로 판단된다.

도로터널에 적용하는 반횡류환기방식은 터널의 전연장에 걸쳐서 단위길이당 풍량이 균일하게 될 수 있도록 포트의 개도 조정이 필수적이다. 그러나 현재 국내에서 운영중인 터널의 경우에는 설계시 이에 대한 고려가 적절히 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 개도계산을 위한 프로그램을 개발하고 반횡류환기방식의 터널에서 포트의 운영방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과, 포트의 개도는 급기방식의 덕트에서는 환기소측에서 덕트의 말단(bulk head)쪽으로 갈수록 증가하였다가 감소하는 경향을 가지며, 최소 개도는 56% 정도로 나타나고 있다. 또한 배기방식에서는 환기소측이 15% 정도로 가장 작고 bulk head 쪽으로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 화재시 300 m 구간의 배연풍량을 검토한 결과, 포트사이즈를 조정하지 않는 경우와 급기방식으로 포트사이즈을 조정한 경우에는 터널중앙부의 배연량이 각각 8.1%와 12.5%로 터널중앙부의 배연풍량이 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 반횡류환기방식의 터널에서는 평상시 환기효율이 저하하더라도 배연시 균일한 풍량을 얻을 수 있도록 포트의 개도를 설정하여 운영하는 것이 반드시 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Nitric Oxide(NO) is produced in many organs of the body, including the lung and airways, and it is detectable in the exhaled air. The measurement of exhaled NO(eNO) provides a simple non-invasive means for measuring airway inflammation, such as asthma. We measured eNO among adult male workers to examine the distribution of eNO in healthy people and to find factors affecting eNO. We measured eNO in a sample of 921 adult workers who also performed lung function test and skin prick test. Exhaled NO was measured in a sitting posture without using a nose clip and NO free gas. NO was measured at three expiratory rates(l8; 42; 71 $m\ell$/sec) and the flow rate of 71 $m\ell$/sec was used in analysis. The average eNO concentration was 5.29 $\pm$ 2.98 ppb. The level increased with age but not significantly(P=0.0529). Exhaled NO showed positive relations to the height(P=0.0001), pollen 1 (P=0.0124), asthma history(P=0.0212), allergic rhinitis symptom(P=0.0302). Exhaled NO Concentration of smokers( 4.62 ppb) was significantly lower than that of nonsmokers(5.99 ppb; P<0.0001).

An experimental study has been performed on vortex pairing under fundamental and subharmonic forcing with controlled initial phase differences through hot-wire measurements and a multi-smoke wire flow visualization. For the range of St$_{D}$ < 0.6, vortex pairing was controlled by means of fundamental and subharmonic forcing with varying initial phase differences. Much larger mixing rate was achieved by two-frequency forcing with a proper phase difference than one frequency forcing. As St$_{D}$ decreased, vortex pairing was limited to a narrow region of the initial phase difference between two disturbances and higher amplitudes of the fundamental and its subharmonic at the nozzle exit were required for more stable pairing. As the amplitude of the subharmonic at the nozzle exit increased for fixed St$_{D}$ and fundamental amplitude, the distribution of the subharmonic mode against the variation of the initial phase difference changed from a sine function form into a cusp-like form. Thus, vortex pairing can be controlled more precisely for the former case. For St$_{D}$ > 0.6, non-pairing advection of vortices due to the improper phase difference was sometimes observed in several fundamental forcing amplitudes when only the fundamental was applied. However, when its subharmonic was added, vortex pairing readily occurred. As the initial amplitude of this subharmonic increased, the position of vortex pairing moved upstream. This was thought to be due to the fact that the variation of the initial phase difference between the fundamental and its subharmonic has less effects on vortex pairing in the region of fundamental-only vortex pairing.pairing.

In the case of a fire disaster in a uni-directional road tunnel, it is important to determine the critical ventilation velocity to prevent the backflow travelling toward the tunnel exit where vehicles are stopped. The critical ventilation velocity is horizontal velocity to prevent hot smoke from moving toward the tunnel exit. According to Froude modelling, the model tunnel whcih was 300mm in diameter and 21 m in length was made of acryl tubes. Inner section of acryl tubes was clothed with polycarbonate. 1/20 scaled model vehicles were installed to simulate the situation that vehicles are stopped in the tunnel exit. Methanol in a pool type burner was burned in the middle of tunnel to simulate a fire hazard. In this study, the basis of determining the critical ventilation velocity is the ventilation flow rate that is able to maintain the allowable CO concentration in the tunnel section. We assumed that the allowable CO concentration was backflow dispersion index. Futhermore, We intended to find out CO distribution and temperature distribution according as we changed ventilation velocity. The results of this study were that no backflow happened when ventilation velocity was 0.52 m/s in the case of 5.75 kW. If we adapt these results of a fire disaster releasing 10MW heat capacity in real tunnel which is 400m in length, no backflow happens when ventilation velocity is 2.31m/s. After we figured out dimensionless heat release rate and dimensionless ventilation velocity of model test and those of real test to verify experimental correctness, we tried to find out correlation between experimental results of model tunnel and those of real tunnel.

Biodiesel is an environmentally-friendly fuel with low smoke emission because it contains about 10% oxygen. Biodiesel fuel prepared by transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats is susceptible to auto-oxidation. The rate of auto-oxidation depends on the number of methylene double bonds contained within the fatty acid methyl or ethyl ester groups. Biodiesel may be easily oxidized under several conditions, i.e., upon exposure to sunlight, temperature, oxygen environment. Maintenance of the fuel quality of biodiesel requires the development of technologies to increase the resistance of biodiesel to oxidation. Treatment with antioxidants is a promising approach for extending the shelf-life or storage time of biodiesel. The chemical properties of various amine-based antioxidants were evaluated after synthesis of the antioxidants by condensation of phenylenediamine with alkylamines at room temperature. In general, the oxidative stability can be assessed based on various experimental parameters. Such parameters may include temperature, pressure, and the flow rate of air through the samples. The Rancimat method (EN14112) was selected because it is a rapid technique that requires very little sample and provides good precision for oxidative degradation analysis. Specifically, the EN 14112 technique provides enhanced efficiency for oxidative stability evaluation when a larger ester head group is utilized. Therefore, this technique was employed for evaluation of the oxidation stability of biodiesel by the Rancimat method (EN14112).
