For the safe handling of n-tridecane, the lower flash points and AITs(auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. Also lower explosion limits by the lower flash points were calculated. The lower flash points of n-tridecane by using closed-cup tester were experimented $92^{\circ}C$ and $96^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points and fire point of n-tridecane by using open cup tester were experimented 100 oC and 103 oC, respectively. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 apparatus for n-tridecane. The experimental AIT of n-tridecane was 223 oC. The calculated lower explosion limit by using measured lower flash point 92 oC for n-tridecane was 0.6 Vol.%.

A cycle simulation method is developed by coupling a commercial code, Ricardo's WAVE, with the SENKIN code from CHEMKIN packages to predict combustion characteristics of an HCCI engine. By solving detailed chemical kinetics the SENKIN code calculates the combustion products in the combustion chamber during the valve closing period, i.e. from IVC to EVO. Except the combustion chamber during the valve closing period the WAVE code solves thermodynamic status in the whole engine system. The cycle simulation of the complete engine system is made possible by exchanging the numerical solutions between the codes on the coupling positions of the intake port at IVC and of the exhaust port at EVO. This method is validated against the available experimental data from recent literatures. Auto ignition timing and cylinder pressure are well predicted for various engine operating conditions including a very high ECR rate although it shows a trend of sharp increase in cylinder pressure immediate after auto ignition. This trend is overpredicted especially for EGR cases, which may be due to the assumption of single-zone combustion model and the limit of the chemical kinetic model for the prediction of turbulent air-fuel mixing phenomena. A further work would be needed for the implementation of a multi-zone combustion model and the effect of turbulent mixing into the method.

Exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the major sources of air pollution. And. it is extremely difficult to increase gasoline engine efficiency and to reduce NOx and PM(particulate matter) simultaneously in diesel combustion. This paper offers some basic concepts to overcome the above problems. To solve the problems, a recommended technique is CAI(controlled auto-ignition) combustion. In this paper. internal EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) effect is suggested to realize CAI combustion. An experimental study was carried out to achieve CAI combustion using homogeneous premixed gas mixture in the constant volume combustion chamber(CVCC). A flame trap was used to simulate internal EGR effect and to increase flame propagation speed in the CVCC. Flame propagation photos and pressure signals were acquired to verify internal EGR effect. Flame trap creates high speed burned gas jet. It achieves higher flame propagation speed due to the effect of geometry and burned gas jet.

During the manufacturing process of a printed circuit board(PCB), fumes and mists are generated as the ink dries on the PCB surface. The generated fumes and mists are deposited in the dryer wall and the exhaust duct. Deposited fumes and mists may present a fire hazard if the dryer temperature control system fails. In this study, the thermal stability of the fumes and mists deposited in the dryer and ducts has been analyzed by experimental methods such as thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), auto ignition temperature (AIT), and multiple mode calorimetry(MMC). According to the experimental analyses, experimental samples are likely to generate gas at the temperature ($180{\sim}240^{\circ}C$) that deviates from the normal operating temperature ($150{\sim}156^{\circ}C$). It has been shown that the thermal stability is degraded when the temperature is deviated from the normal operating temperature. In the end, engineering and management safety measures of accidental prevention have been suggested.

가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발 특성치는 안전한 취급, 저장, 수송, 처리 및 폐기하는데 반드시 필요하다. 공정 안전을 위한 대표적인 연소특성치로 최소자연발화온도(AIT)를 들 수 있다. 최소자연발화온도는 가연성 액체의 안전한 취급을 위해서 중요한 지표가 된다. 최소자연발화온도는 가연성물질이 주위의 열에 의해 스스로 발화하는 최저온도이다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM E659 장치를 이용하여 가연성 혼합물인 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 측정하였다. 2성분계를 구성하는 순수물질인 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene의 최소자연발화온도는 각각 $285^{\circ}C$, $557^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 그리고 측정된 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도와 AIT에서의 발화지연시간의 실험값은 제시된 식에 의한 계산값과 적은 평균절대오차에서 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 예측식들을 이용하여 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 다른 조성에서도 최소자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 예측이 가능하다.

Usage of EDR(Event Data Recorder) report for traffic accident analysis is currently increasing due to government regulation of EDR data release. Nevertheless, a lot of investigators simply adopt by comparing the number of ignition cycles(crash) at event to the number of ignition cycles(download) without an exact judgment whether event data occurred by this accident or not. In the EDR report, besides ignition cycles, there are many factors such as event record type, algorithm active(rear/rollover/side/frontal), time between events, event severity status(rollover/rear/right side/reft side/frontal), belt switch circuit status, driver/passenger pretensioner/air-bag deployment, PDOF(Principal Direction of Force) by ΔV to be able to decide whether or not to adopt. also the event data is considered enough to vehicle damaged state, accident situation at the scene of the accident. and there is described in "all data should be examined in conjunction with other available physical evidence from the vehicle and scene" in the CDR(Crash Data Retrieval) report. Therefore many investigators have to decide whether or not to adopt after they consider sufficiently to above factors when they are the traffic accident analysis and investigate the causes of a accident on the adopted event data. In this paper, we report to traffic accident investigators notable points and analysis methods on the basis of thousands of cases and the results of one's own experiment in NFS(National Forensic Service).

The Representative Interactive Flamelet (RIF) concept has been applied to numerically simulate the combustion processes and pollutant formation in the direct injection diesel engine. Due to the ability for interactively describing the transient behaviors of local flame structures with CFD solver, the RIF concept has the capabilities to predict the auto-ignition and subsequent flame propagation in the diesel engine combustion chamber as well as to effectively account for the detailed mechanisms of soot formation, NOx formation including thermal NO path, prompt and nitrous 70x formation, and reburning process. Special emphasis is given to the turbulent combustion model which properly accounts for vaporization effects on the mixture fraction fluctuations and the pdf model. The results of numerical modeling using the RIF concept are compared with experimental data and with numerical results of the commonly applied procedure which the low-temperature and high-temperature oxidation processes are represented by the Shell ignition model and the eddy dissipation model, respectively. Numerical results indicate that the RIF approach including the vaporization effect on turbulent spray combustion process successfully predicts the ignition delay time and location as well as the pollutant formation.

Intake air conditions, such as air temperature, pressure, and humidity, are very important parameters that influence engine performance including combustion and emissions characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intake air temperature on combustion and exhaust emissions characteristics in a single cylinder diesel engine. In this experiment, an air cooler and a heater were installed on the intake air line and a gas flow controller was installed to maintain the flow rate. It was found that intake air temperature induced the evaporation characteristics of the fuel, and it affects the maximum in-cylinder pressure, IMEP(indicated mean effective pressure), and fuel consumption. As the temperature of intake air decreases, the fuel evaporation characteristics deteriorate even as the fuel temperature has reached the auto-ignition temperature, so that ignition delay is prolonged and the maximum pressure of cylinder is also reduced. Based on the increase in intake air temperature, nitrogen oxides(NOx) increased. In addition, the carbon monoxide(CO) and unburned hydrocarbons(UHC) increased due to incomplete fuel combustion at low intake air temperatures.
