This study was conducted an experiment for the thermal flow mechanism of the surrounding butane gas can and pressure change in butane can with oversized cookware. And numerical analysis was performed to analyze the process of heat transfer around butane can. Effect of radiant heat from small size cookware is very small. Thus small size cookware does not have a significant impact on the butane gas range safety. But radiant heat of oversized cookware is larger than small size cookware. Therefore it gives an adverse effect on the butane can. And when internal pressure of butane can is greater than about 406.8~447.2 kPa, a safety device of portable butane gas range were working. The causes of safety device working is because of trivet height. Trivet height is lowered, the radiant heat is increased. This radiant heat is to raise pressure of inside butane can. Experimental and numerical analysis results, the lower thermal conductivity of the cookware is greater the effects of radiant heat.

People in the advanced society have deep interest in such environmental problems as noise, air quality, water pollution, etc. This paper submits the result of the research on the noise In the surroundings of the butane can explosion location. First, the noise level measured in a residential area, 245 meters' away from the butane can explosion location, was 59.3 dB. Also, the noise level measured in the IGUP (International Graduate University of Peace), 300 meters' away from the explosion site, was 52.5 dB. Second, the above noise levels are lower than the level specified In the Environmental Standard (65 dB), which represented that the experiment was safe. Third, the noise level in a place away from the butane can explosion location varied in accordance with the direction of the wind. Consequently, the noise in all locations (the places where damage to people is expected) surrounding the experimental butane can explosion location was measured to identify the effect of the wind irection.

The experiment was conducted to measure temperature and pressure around operating portable butane gas ranges with oversized cookwares. In this experiment, portable butane gas range with different safety equipment and two kinds of oversized cookware, each of which is made of aluminum alloy and rock, was used. As a result, temperature of the bottom of the butane and the pressure of butane barrel tend to aligned with each other. Through this result, it is reasonable that a safety criteria can be decided based on the temperature of the bottom of butane. Especially, portable butane gas ranges are safely conducted under the condition of the temperature is under 50 degree and pressure is under 500 kPa, respectively, at the bottom of the butane barrel.

The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a kind of flash boiling spray is expected when the back pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa at 298K). The ambient pressure was held at a pressure above(0.37MPa) and below(0.15MPa) the fuel vapor pressure. The axial velocities, radial velocities, and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. The PDPA measurement showed a smaller SMD at the 0.15MPa chamber pressure, compared to the 0.37MPa case. Log-hyperbolic density function for the droplets size distribution can be fitted to the experimental results of a liquefied butane spray.

본 연구는 이동식 부탄연소기에 사용되는 1회용 부탄캔의 변형 및 폭발을 방지하기 위하여, 캔에 안전밸브를 장착한 폭발방지 부탄캔에 대한 사용 중 안전성을 평가하였다. 실제 사용환경에서 설계압력의 오차 범위 내에서 안전밸브가 작동하는지, 안전밸브의 분출유량은 캔의 변형 및 폭발을 방지하기에 적정하게 설계되었는지, 그리고 안전밸브 작동으로 인하여 가스가 누출되었을 때 주변의 점화원에 의한 화재 및 폭발의 위험성 등을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발제품이 외부열원에 의한 부탄캔의 내압상승을 방지하여 캔의 폭발을 방지하는 것으로 평가되었다.

주40시간제가 도입되면서 피크닉을 즐기는 세대가 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 또한 가스에 의한 사고는 토요일과 일요일에 가장 많이 발생하고 있다. 2004년 10월 현재 부탄 캔으로 인한 사고는 전년 동기대비 인명피해가 1.5배로 늘어났다. 본 논문에서는 사용하고 버려지는 부탄 캔의 파열로 인한 과압의 영향에 대하여 Hopkinson의 삼승근법을 이용하여 계산하고,폭발장소 주변의 건축물과 인간에게 미치는 영향을 Probit 모델에 적용하여 피해예측을 평가하였다. Probit 모델에 적용하여 계산하면 50m 이격된 건물에는 손상여부 가능성이 전혀 없는 0$\%$로 나타났으며, 인간에게 미치는 영향은 l0m 이격되면 피해영향이 전혀 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 논문에서는 폭발효율을 $100\%$적용하여 계산하였다. 따라서 부탄 캔 파열로 인한 실제적인 피해영향은 본 연구에서 계산된 수치보다 더욱더 안전할 것으로 판단된다.

It is very insecure to treat a butane can for cooking out of door. The human injury from the accidents of butane cans has been getting increased 1.5 times yearly since 2003. In this context, the Institute of Gas Technology Training in Korea Gas Safety Corporation carries out explosion experiment to make trainees to take all possible measures to ensure safe management of gas in the field by fully recognizing the hazards of gas explosion accidents. This study intends to examine the influence of such explosion experiments on the trainees witnessing nearby. The GEN exposed to the active students participating in the experiment away from 25 meters from the explosion site was 57.94 dB and the GEN to the passive students not participating away from 50 meters was 51.92 dB. According to Weber-Fechner's law for the lower value than 65 dB which is the environmental standard, it is safe from the place 15 meter far from the explosion place. The environmental standard of offices is 50 dB, and it is lower than the environmental standard if the office is 65 meter far from the explosion place.

Transient and asymmetric density distributions have been investigated by three-dimensional digital speckle tomography. Multiple CCD images captured movements of speckles in three angles of view simultaneously because the flows were asymmetric and transient. The speckle movements between no flow and downward butane flow from a circular half opening have been calculated by a cross-correlation tracking method so that those distances can be transferred to deflection angles of laser rays for density gradients. The three-dimensional density fields have been reconstructed from the deflection angles by a real-time multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART).

Accidents involving portable ranges occurred total 133 cases for the last five years(2008~2012). It accounted for 18.0% of all gas accidents(739 cases). Major causes of accidents are using of excessive hot grill, leaving a butane can near fire and overheating of a butane can during cooking. In this study, it is a desire to investigate the relationship between thermal behavior mechanism depending on characteristics of cooking equipment materials of portable gas ranges. It shows that slope of temperature change curve correlates with difference of heat capacity on thermal behavior characteristics experiment depending on materials of cooking equipment. In conclusion, temperature characteristics appear differently depending on variables such as materials of cooking equipment. Especially, it is necessary to restrict using cooking equipment made of stones, because it is very dangerous that temperature of can is rapidly increasing caused by high heat capacity of stone.

Gas hydrate is a special kind of inclusion compound that can be formed by capturing gas molecules to water lattice in high pressure and low temperature conditions. When referred to standard conditions, $1m^3$ solid hydrates contain up to $172Nm^3$ of methane gas, depending on the pressure and temperature of production, Such large volumes make natural gas hydrates can be used to store and transport natural gas. In this study, three-phase equilibrium conditions for forming methane hydrate were theoretically obtained in aqueous single electrolyte solution containing 3wt% Nacl. The results show that Nacl acts as a inhibitor, but help gases such as ethan, propane, i-butane, and n-butane reduce the hydrate formation pressure at the same temperature.
