The purpose of this study is to identify the fire danger of the electric radiant heating system and check the way how to use it and the problems that could be possible through a actual case. We carry out an experiment to identify the possibility of the fire in the similar condition of the actual fire case. The results of this study are as follows. It is a possible condition to fire if the air blast of the electric radiant heating system is blocked by some combustible materials such as plastic bags continuously. A temperature sensor and a residual current device are necessary to disconnect the power source. It is also necessary to attach a notice in front of the electric radiant hearing system that shows users the fire danger to forbid the possible fire. Fires could be happened by internal defects of the electronic products. However, we can also find many external reasons to happen fires. Therefore, we need to check all reasons to make fires in the scene of a fire.

본 연구는 가연성 기체로서 에틸렌-공기 혼합물로 채워져 있는 관에서 장애물과 굽은 관에 의한 지형적 효과에 따라 변화하는 충격파와 화염의 상호 작용, 화염 가속, 연소폭발천이 현상을 수치적으로 살펴보았다. 여기서 사용되는 모델은 지배방정식으로 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 경계조건 처리 방법으로 ghost fluid 기법을 사용하였으며 지형적 영향을 달리한 여러 모델링을 통하여 화염과 강한 충격파의 충돌에 의한 열점 생성과 화염 전파의 지연 혹은 가속 현상을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 평균 화학적 에너지 발생률이 대략 20 MJ/($g{\bullet}s$)에서 폭굉으로 천이한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 그리고 동일 위치 열점 생성에도 불구하고 폭굉의 발생 시기가 반응물의 부재와 화염면 전방의 온도와 압력 차에 의해 지연될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

건축물의 에너지 절약기준이 강화됨에 따라 단열성능이 우수한 외단열 공법의 적용이 증가 추세에 있으나, 빈번한 화재사고로 외단열 화재확산 방지를 위한 규정이 강화되었다. 따라서, 기존 EPS 외단열 시스템의 단열성능을 확보하면서 화재안전성을 향상하기 위하여 불연성 단열재를 화재확산 방지구조로 적용한 EPS 외단열 시스템의 대형 화재시험을 ISO 13785-2에 의하여 수행하였고, 그 결과, 시간에 따른 시험체의 외형분석에서 EPS 단열재만 사용한 외단열 공법보다 우수한 화재확산 방지효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었고, 온도 및 열류량 측정결과에서도 하단부보다 상단부의 온도 및 열류량이 낮게 측정되어 차열효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

연구목적: 촛불화재는 매년 같은 유형으로 반복되어 사상자가 발생하고 있기에 화재조사결과를 바탕으로 주로 발생되는 형태를 재현실험을 통해 분석하여 동종의 화재를 줄이는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 촛불화재 분석을 위해 아크릴 재연실험, 포멕스(FOMEX) 아크릴 재연실험, 일반가연물 재연실험, 촛불의 자연소화 재연실험 등 4가지 방법으로 실시하였다. 연구결과: 주변에 가연물의 접촉이 없으면 지속적인 연소가 이루어지기가 힘들다는 것을 확인하였다. 결론: 촛불화재를 예방하기 위해서는 주변 안전확인이 무엇보다 중요하며 초 말단에 은박지와 같은 불연 재료로 마감 처리하는 등 안전규정을 도입하는 것도 하나의 방법이라고 생각한다.

The thermochemical parameters for safe handling, storage, transport, operation and process design of flammable substances are explosion limit, flash point, autoignition temperatures(AITs), minimum oxygen concentration(MOC), heat of combustion etc.. Also it is necessary to know explosion limit at high temperature and pressure. For the safe handling of benzene, lower explosion limit(LEL) at $25^{\circ}C$, the temperature dependence of the explosion limits and flash point were investigated. And the AITs for benzene were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of benzene recommended 1.3 vol% and 8.0 vol%, respectively. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for benzene, and the experimental AIT of benzene was $583^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of benzene is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

In this study, the lower flash points of n-hexane recommended $-23^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for n-hexane, and the experimental AIT of n-hexane was $240^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of n-hexane is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

The flash point and the AIT(auto-ignition temperature) are the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of flammable material. In order to know the accuracy of data in MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet), the flash point of n-acids were measured by using Pensky-Martens closed cup tester(ASTM D93), Setaflash closed cup tester(ASTM D3278), Tag open cup tester(ASTM D1310) and Cleveland open cup tester(ASTM D92). Also, the AIT of n-acids were measured by using ASTM E659-78 tester. The measured the flash points and the AIT were compared with literatures and MSDS in KOSHA. The measured the flash points and the AIT were different from those in literatures and MSDS. Therefore, This paper shows that it is needed to investigate the MSDS compatibility of n-acids for the fire safety objectives.

Anode off-gas of high temperature fuel cells such as MCFC still contain combustible components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon. Thus, it's very important to fully burn anode off-gas and use the generated heat in order to increase system efficiency. In the present study, catalytic combustors have been applied to high temperature MCFC system so that the combustion of anode-off gas can be boosted up. Since the performance of catalytic combustor directly depends on the combustion catalyst, this study has been focused on the experimental investigation on the combustion characteristics of multiple commercial catalysts having different structures and compositions. In order to determine the design conditions of the catalytic combustor, parameters such as inlet temperature, space velocity and excess air ratio have been varied and optimized for combustor design. Results show that $H_2$ in off-gas assists $CH_4$ combustion in a way that it decreases minimum inlet temperature limit and increases maximum space velocity while keeping high fuel conversion efficiency.
