This paper is basic study for development of an advanced photoelectric type smoke detector that has high reliability by reducing the occurrence of nuisance alarms. This paper was attempted to distinguish optical characteristics of the typical fire smoke particle and non-fire smoke particle. According to UL 268 standards, three types of test fires (the paper, the wood and the flammable liquid) were used in this paper for measurement of the fire smoke particles, and the water vapor and the cigarette smoke that were known as the main cause of the nuisance alarms were also used for the non-fire smoke particles. A smoke detection chamber was created, which was equipped with one light source and several light sensors for enabling simultaneous detection of light extinction and scattering, respectively. This paper analyzes the optical characteristics of each smoke particle using this chamber.

The smoke emission of diesel engines is being recognized as one of the major source of the air pollution problems. This study investigates the potential of esterified rice bran oil to reduce smoke emission as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Because the esterified rice bran oil has approximately a 10.5% oxygen content, the combustion of the diesel engine improved and exhaust smoke decreased. Gas chromatography was used to analyze not only the total amount of hydrocarbon but also the amount of hydrocarbon components from $C_1$ to $C_6$ in the exhaust gas to determine an exact source responsible for the remarkable reduction in the smoke emission. The number of individual hydrocarbon($C_1{\sim}C_6$) as well as the total amount of hydrocarbon of esterified rice bran oil reduced significantly compared to that of hydrocarbon of diesel fuel.

In this study, the 1/35 reduced-scale model experiment were conducted to investigate designed ventilation effect on the smoke movement at rescue station fire in railway tunnel. A model tunnel with 2 mm thick, 10 m long, 0.19 m high and 0.26 m was made by using Froude number scaling law. The cross-passages installing escape door at the center were connected between incident tunnel and rescue tunnel. The n-heptane pool fires with heat release rate 698.97W were used as fire source. The fire source was located at the center and portal of incident tunnel as worst case. A operating ventilation system extracted smoke amount of 0.015 cms(cubic meters per second). The smoke temperature and CO gas concentration in cross-passage were measured to verify designed ventilation system. The result showed that, at center fire case without ventilation, smoke did not propagate to rescues station. In portal fire case, smoke spreaded to rescues station without ventilation. But smoke did not propagated to rescues station with designed ventilation.

본 연구에서는 철도 화재 시 구난역에서의 화재 연기의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 상용코드를 사용하여 수치해석 하였다. 화원의 모사와 화재로 인한 생성물의 거동을 예측하기 위해 stoichiometric상태에서 연료 소모량에 따른 연소생성물의 생성률과 산소 소모율을 VHS 모델에 적용하고 종의 보존 방정식을 해석하는 HVHS 모델을 이용하였다. 해석결과 화재 연기는 온도에 따른 밀도 차에 의해 터널의 천장을 따라 이동 하였으며 열원으로부터 멀어지면서 하강하는 형태를 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 터널 내 공기는 화원으로 집중되었으며 비사고 터널과 사고 터널의 압력 차에 의해 화재연기는 별다른 환기 시스템 없이도 비사고 터널로 유입되지 않았다.

본 연구는 구난역을 갖는 철도 터널 내에서 화재가 발생하였을 때 연기 전파 특성에 미치는 배연효과를 다루고 있다. 터널 화재 실험은 4cm의 정사각형 형태의 n-heptane$(C_7H_{16})$ 풀화재(pool fires)에 대해서 수행되었고 다양한 화재 발생위치에 따른 발열량을 측정하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 상용코드인 Fluent(Ver.6.3)를 사용하여 구난역을 갖는 철도 터널 내의 연층 전파 특성을 분석하였으며, MVHS(Modified Volumetric Heat Source) 모델을 사용하여 화재에 의한 연소생성물의 농도 및 거동을 예측하였다. 해석 조건은 다양한 화재 발생 위치에 따라서 측정 된 발열량을 이용하였다. 본 연구를 통해 교행로 내에 위치한 방화문에 의해 비사고터널로의 확산을 막을 수 있음을 보였고 특히, 배연시스템의 가동을 통해 유동방향을 변화시킴으로써 사고터널내의 연기 확산을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Emissions inputs for use in air quality modeling of Korea were generated with the emissions inventory data from the National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), maintained under the Clean Air Policy Support System (CAPSS) database. Source Classification Codes (SCC) in the Korea emissions inventory were adapted to use with the U.S. EPA's Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) by finding the best-matching SMOKE default SCCs for the chemical speciation and temporal allocation. A set of 19 surrogate spatial allocation factors for South Korea were developed utilizing the Multi-scale Integrated Modeling System (MIMS) Spatial Allocator and Korean GIS databases. The mobile and area source emissions data, after temporal allocation, show typical sinusoidal diurnal variations with high peaks during daytime, while point source emissions show weak diurnal variations. The model-ready emissions are speciated for the carbon bond version 4 (CB-4) chemical mechanism. Volatile organic carbon (VOC) emissions from painting related industries in area source category significantly contribute to TOL (Toluene) and XYL (Xylene) emissions. ETH (Ethylene) emissions are largely contributed from point industrial incineration facilities and various mobile sources. On the other hand, a large portion of OLE (Olefin) emissions are speciated from mobile sources in addition to those contributed by the polypropylene industry in point source. It was found that FORM (Formaldehyde) is mostly emitted from petroleum industry and heavy duty diesel vehicles. Chemical speciation of PM2.5 emissions shows that PEC (primary fine elemental carbon) and POA (primary fine organic aerosol) are the most abundant species from diesel and gasoline vehicles. To reduce uncertainties in processing the Korea emission inventory due to the mapping of Korean SCCs to those of U.S., it would be practical to develop and use domestic source profiles for the top 10 SCCs for area and point sources and top 5 SCCs for on-road mobile sources when VOC emissions from the sources are more than 90% of the total.

In this paper which was performed to bring public attention to the need for developing an photoelectric smoke detector that detects smokes emitted from diverse fire sources, it was confirmed that the photoelectric smoke detector may not respond to certain smoke types depending on the size and color of smoke particles. The test was performed on a photoelectric smoke detector which is being used generally for specific fire targets specified in UL268, including paper fire, wood fire and flammable liquid fire, while the actual response performance of the fire detector, as well as respective smoke particles collected from different fire source which were photographed with a SEM(Scanning electron microscope) were analyzed in the test for this study.

In order to design of emergency ventilation systems, the smoke movements in tunnel fire with natural and forced ventilation were investigated. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling with novel fire source consisting many wicks. Temperature profiles were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel and poisonous gases were measured at emergency exit point in the natural ventilation case. In forced ventilation, temperature profiles were measured with various flow rate to obtain critical velocity. The results showed that the interval of emergency exit having 225m was estimated reasonably through the measurements of temperature variation and poisonous gas in the natural ventilation. In the case of forced ventilation, the temperature distribution near fire source is remarkably different from that of natural ventilation. Also, the critical velocity to prevent upstream smoke flow has the range of 0.57m/s between 0.64m/s. Finally, it was also identified that although the increase of flow rate can suppress the backward flow of smoke to upstream direction, brings about the increase of flame intensity near stoichiometric fuel/air ratio.

본 논문은 화재감지는 물론 화원까지 구별할 수 있는 광전식 연기감지기 개발을 위한 기초 연구이다. 이를 위해, 현재 광전식 연기감지기에 많이 사용되고 있는 광원과 센서를 사용하여 광학챔버를 제작하였으며, UL 268에서 연기감지기를 시험할 때 사용되는 세 가지 화원(종이화원, 목재화원, 인화성 액체화원)을 대상으로 각 화원별 광학적 특징을 구하였다. 그 결과 종이화원과 목재화원은 산란에 큰 차이를 보였으며, 인화성 액체화원은 소광의 원인이 다름을 알 수 있었다.
