The destruction by accident is affected by the blast of explosion. However, there are few of research on the external effect of vented gas explosions. Therefore it is necessary to study the effect of vented explosion. This study aims to find the characteristics of gas explosion, and the effect of vented gas explosion. Using an explosion chamber, we obtained a LPG explosion characteristics according to the vent size and concentration. The result of experiment showed that the explosion pressure effect to external space was much stronger than inner space during the course of a gas explosion. And the external pressure become higher in explosion pressure as the vent diameter become smaller.

본 연구에서는 연료로 많이 사용될 뿐 아니라 폭발사고도 많이 발생하는 액화석유가스(LPG)가 밀폐공간 내에 누출되어 가스폭발사고가 발생할 경우 폭발에 의한 피해발생 현상들의 예측과 위험성을 평가하고자 폭발시 개구부가 발생되는 가스폭발에 대한 폭발특성측정 실험을 실시하였다 . 실험장치의 크기는 가로, 세로, 높이가 각각 60 cm, 100 cm, 45 cm인 폭발통을 사용하였으며 건물 내 가스폭발시 유리창 등이 파열되어 개구부가 발생되는 현상과 유사하도록 폭발통의 한쪽 측면에는 격막을 설치하여 폭발시 파열되도록 하였다. 실험 변수로는 LPG의 농도, 점화위치, 폭발시 발생하는 파구의 면적, 파열면으로부터 거리, 및 파열면의 강도등이며 연구결과, 폭발시 개구부가 생성되는 경우는 밀폐공간과는 달리 농도의 변화보다 파열면의 강도에 의해 폭발특성이 영향을 받으며 점화위치에 의한 폭발특성의 변화도 밀폐공간의 경우에 비해 크게 나타났다. 또한 파열면 개구부가 작을수록, 파열면의 강도가 클수록 파열압력(내부폭발압력)과 외부에 미치는 폭풍압력이 증가하였으며 파열면에서 멀어질수록 폭풍압력이 감소하는 현상들을 알 수 있었다.

This study aims to find the safe vent area to prevent a destruction of building by gas explosion in a building. Explosion vessel which used in this experiment is 1/5 scale down model of simple livingroom and its dimension is 100cm in length 60cm in width and 45cm in height. Liquified petroleum gas(LPG) was injected to the vessel to the concentration of 4.5vol%, and injection rate were varied in 1L/min or 4L/min. Gas mixture was ignited by the 10kV electric spark. For analysis the characteristics of vented explosion pressure according to the vent size and vent shape, its size and shape were varied. From the experiment, it was found that explosion pressure in the vented explosion :in affected by the gas injection rate, vent area and vent shape. And the vent area to volume ratio(S/V) to prevent the building destruction by explosion pressure, it is recommended that the design of vent area happened by the explosion should be above 1/500cm in S/V. And if the vent area has complicate structure in same area, vented explosion pressure will be higher than a single vent, and possibility of building destruction will increase. Therefore to effectively vent the explosion pressure for protect a building and residents from the gas explosion hazards, the same vent area should have a singular and constant shape in the cross-sectional area of the vessel.

가로, 세로, 높이가 각각 100cm, 60cm, 45cm로 내용적이 $270\ell$인 폭발 용기를 이용하여 불균일 농도 상태의 LPG-공기 혼합가스의 폭발특성을 측정하였다. 폭발은 vented-explosion과 closed explosion의 조건에서 실시하였다. 실험의 변수로는 점화원의 위치, 노즐직경 및 유속으로, 시료가스를 주입하는 노즐의 직경과 유속을 변화시키면서 용기 내에서의 불균일 혼합정도를 조절하였다. 폭발압력은 strain형 압력센사를 사용하여 측정하였고 폭발화염의 거동은 비디오카메라로 측정하여 분석하였다. 실험결과 유속과 가스 주입 시간이 용기 내 가스 혼합에 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있었으며, 불균일 정도가 심화될 수록 폭발압력과 압력상승속도가 감소하였으나 용기 내 폭발화염의 체류시간은 크게 증가하였으며 이로 인하여 가스 폭발 후 화재로의 전이 위험성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

The majority of both small and large-scale experiments on gas explosion have been carried out in the explosion instruments with cylindrical tubes of a high length/diameter ratio and vessels of a high height/length ratio, focusing on investigating the interaction between propagating flame and obstacles inside the tubes or vessels. The results revealed that there is a strong interaction between the propagating flame and turbulence formed after the flame passes the obstacle. However this paper focuses on analyzing the pressure impact or profile outside the vent in vented gas explosion in a partially confined chamber by performing gas explosion experiments in a reduced-scale experimental assembly properly constructed. This study has considered eight different cases in gas explosion based on variation of three kinds of parameters such as height of vessel, shape of the vent and vent size, and reveals that the large vessel with big size circle vent is more danger to the target than others because the overpressure is spread out faraway horizontally and vertically.

A great deal of exhaust gas inside a combustion room goes out through exhaust pipe. But residual gas 'Blowby gas' enters the crankcase through a small gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. Here, if the blowby gas isn't vented, this causes many bad efffcts such as lubricant oil contamination, corrosion by that and crankcase explosion by rising pressure. So most automobiles are constituted with a PCV(Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system to prevent previous problems. PCV valve is the most important part in this ventilation system. When companies are manufacturing new cases, engineers are designing it depending on their experiments than theoretical knowledges. Much efforts and times are needed for new development. This study will show quantitative results to increase the possibilities for the optimal design.

When the vacuum system for the process of $SiH_{4}$ gas used in the semiconductor and FPD field is partially vented from vacuum to atmospheric state, a fire often occurs due to auto-ignition of $SiH_{4}$ gas. In order to prevent the fire, the concentration of $SiH_{4}$ should be kept under LFL. This means that the higher capacity pump is needed to meet the process conditions as well as the condition that the concentration of $SiH_{4}$ should be kept under LFL. In this article, we conducted the injection of the dilution gas at the manifold between booster pump and dry pump compared with the typical method that the dilution gas was injected into inlet port of booster pump using computer simulation. According to the result, we can flow further more purge gas for safety without any change of the condition in the process chamber, which means that the higher capacity pump is not required for safety in some cases.

Experimental studies have been carried out to investigate characteristics of gas explosion using a multi layered water gel barrier in a vented explosion chamber. The chamber is consisted of 1600 mm in length, with a square cross-section of $100{\times}100mm^2$. The gel concentration of inner layer of MLWGB ranged from 10% to 90% with intervals of 10% by weight of gel. Displacement of the MLWGB was photographed with a measured using a high-speed video camera, and pressure development was measured using a data acquisition system. It was found that MLWGBs with 10 ~ 20% inner layer concentrations were ruptured during the explosions. As the concentrations of inner layer increased from 30% to 90%, the barriers were not ruptured. As the gel concentrations of the inner layer increased, the displacement increased toward the chamber exit and the pressure decreased for the ruptured barriers. It was found that the pressure attenuation obtained from the MLWGB was higher than that of the single water gel barrier. For the cases of non-ruptured barriers, the pressure inside the chamber less increased with increasing gel concentrations of the inner layer. It was also found that the displacement moved back into the chamber for non-ruptured MLWGBs, and it was sensitive to the gel concentrations.
