인화점은 가연성 물질의 화재 및 폭발의 잠재위험성을 결정하는데 가장 중요한 연소 특성치 가운데 하나이다. 인화점의 정확한 지식은 산업 화재의 방호 평가 및 적절한 예방에 중요하다. 본 연구에서 n-butanol+n-propionic acid계와, n-propanol+n-propionic계의 개방계 인화점을 Tag식 개방계 장치(ASTM D 1310-86)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험값은 라울의 법칙과 van Laar식에 의해 계산된 값과 비교하였다. 그 결과, van Laar식에 의한 예측값이 라울의 법칙에 의한 예측값 보다 실험값에 더욱 근사함을 확인하였다.

This paper describes computational efforts on the various energy and environmental problems using Patankar's SIMPLE method. The specific problems included in this study are : pollutant and flammable material dispersions in open and confined areas, aerator-induced flow in a lake for DO(dissolved oxygen) concentration, primary clarifier for water and waste water treatment, hood ventilation in workplace, cyclone and LNG combustors and Dow chlorination reactor. A control-volume based finite-difference method is employed together with the power-law scheme. The pressure-velocity coupling is resolved by the use of the revised version of SIMPLE, says SIMPLER and SIMPLEC. The Reynolds stresses are closed using the standard or the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ models. Turbulent reaction is modeled using two fast chemistry methods such as eddy breakup and conserved scalar models. Further, a nonequilibrium model is developed for the application of the chlorination process in the Dow reactor. Other important empirical models and physical insights appeared in this study are presented and discussed in a brief note. The computational method developed in this study is considered, in general, as a viable tool for the design and determination of the optimal condition of various engineering system of interest.

세계적으로 GHS와 REACH의 도입으로 위험물의 위험성평가를 위한 기존의 MSDS 이용이 증가하여 MSDS의 정확도를 알아보기 위하여 n-Decanol의 인화점을 Tag closed tester, Seta-flash closed tester, Pensky-Martens closed tester, Cleveland open tester 기기를 이용하여 국내와 일본에서 각각 측정하였다. 실험은 국내와 일본에서 각각 다른 제조사에서 구입한 시약으로 인화점을 측정하였으며 인화점 값은 국내와 일본에서 유사한 값을 얻었으나 기존의 MSDS와 문헌의 인화점 값과 비교하여 차이가 크다는 것이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내와 일본에서 측정된 시험값의 타당성을 제시하고 제조업체가 MSDS를 작성할 시는 신중을 기하여 작성하여야 하며 GHS와 REACH를 위한 위험물분류시는 신뢰성 있는 기관에서 발행한 레포트를 참고로 할 것을 제시하였다.

Among the currently available types of fuel, LNG emits a relatively small amount of nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide when it burns in the engine. However, since LNG is a flammable material, leakage during bunkering can lead to accidents, such as fires. Therefore, it is necessary to install a remote operation emergency shut-down (ESD) valve to block the flow and leakage of LNG in an emergency situation that occurs during bunkering. The ESD valve uses a hydraulic driving device consisting of a hydraulic control valve and a hydraulic motor to control globe valve disc displacement, which regulates the flow path for LNG transfer. At this time, there are various nonlinearities in hydraulic driving devices; hence, it is necessary to design a controller with robust control performance against these uncertainties. In this study, modeling of the ESD valve was carried out, and a sliding mode controller to control the displacement of the globe valve disc was designed. As a result, it was confirmed that the designed control performance could be achieved by overcoming nonlinearity characteristics using the designed controller.

연구목적: 본 연구는 도심지 인접에서 발생하는 산불의 불티로 인한 건축물 외장재 및 지붕재의 화재확산 위험성 평가를 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 건축물의 외장재와 지붕재로 사용되는 건축자재를 선별하여 착화시간, 총 방출열량, 열방출률을 확인하고 산불 불티 비화 시스템을 구축하여 산불 불티로 인한 각각의 재료에 대한 화재 확산 가능성을 확인하였다. 연구결과: 콘칼로리미터 실험결과 지붕재는 철판이 외부에 노출된 외장재에 비해 복사열로 인한 착화시간이 비슷하거나 빨랐으며 외장재보다 높은 열방출률과 총 방출열량을 나타냈으며, 불티 비화 실험에서 외장재는 하부에 가연물이 착화함에 따라 영향을 받았으나 제한된 가연물의 양으로 쉽게 확산하지 않고 내부에서 탄화흔이 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 지붕재의 경우 사용 재료에 따라 불티로 인한 가연물 착화로 쉽게 녹고 주변으로의 확산에 기여하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 콘칼로리미터 실험 방법은 복사열로 건축자재의 연소 특성을 파악하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났으나 산불에서 불티로 인한 화재확산은 주변 가연물의 착화로 직접 화염에 영향을 받아 콘칼로리미터 방법과 직접적인 연관성을 찾는 것은 어려움이 있고 외장재에 비해 지붕재가 불티로 인한 화재 확산에 더 취약할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are receiving great attention because of their unusual material properties, such as high thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and electrical resistance. However, high-throughput and high-efficiency synthesis of BNNTs has been hindered due to the high boiling point of boron (${\sim}4000^{\circ}C$) and weak interaction between boron and nitrogen. Although, hydrogen-catalyzed plasma synthesis has shown potential for scalable synthesis of BNNTs, the direct use of $H_2$ gas as a precursor material is not strongly recommended, as it is extremely flammable. In the present study, BNNTs have been synthesized using radio-frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma (RF-ITP) catalyzed by solid-state ammonium chloride ($NH_4Cl$), a safe catalyst materials for BNNT synthesis. Similar to BNNTs synthesized from h-BN (hexagonal boron nitride) + $H_2$, successful fabrication of BNNTs synthesized from $h-BN+NH_4Cl$ is confirmed by their sheet-like properties, FE-SEM images, and XRD analysis. In addition, improved dispersion properties in aqueous solution are found in BNNTs synthesized from $h-BN+NH_4Cl$.

This study examined the mounting status of cigar lighter receptacles for vehicles and analyzed the tracking phenomenon that occurs when foreign material entered a cigar lighter receptacle to obtain data for the analysis of accident investigation. Regardless of the vehicle's output, cigar lighter receptacles are mounted in a vehicle horizontally, vertically, or at tilting or inclined angle. The tilting type cigar lighter receptacle is much easier to use but current leakage resulting from foreign materials (coffee, beverages, water, etc.) falling into the cigar lighter receptacle may cause a fire to start. This study used a vehicle battery (DC 12V) as a power supply for the tracking test and configured its circuit in the same way as that of an electrical device in a vehicle. The tracking phenomenon that occurred in the standby mode of the vehicle exhibited a fine flame and an irregular occurrence of smoke. While this tracking phenomenon was occurring, the leakage current and the reaching distance of the flame were measured to be approximately 930mA and $20{\sim}50cm$, respectively. It is thought that the resultant flame may ignite toluene, dust, cigarettes, etc. It was observed that as the tracking progressed, the internal metal socket melted and a hole was created, the surface of which was also severely carbonized. In addition, the electrical resistance of the carbonized conductive path was measured to be approximately $30{\Omega}$. It is thought that this much resistance may cause local heating when leakage current flows and could ignite any nearby flammable material.

Lots of orders of special vessels and offshore plants for developing the resources in deepwater have been increased in recent. Because the most of accidents on those structures are caused by fire and explosion, many researchers have been investigated quantitatively to predict the cause and effect of fire and explosion based on both experiments and numerical simulations. The first step of the evaluation procedures leading to fire and explosion is to predict the dispersion of flammable or toxic material, in which the released material mixes with surrounding air and be diluted. In particular turbulent mixing, but density differences due to molecular weight or temperature as well as diffusion will contribute to the mixing. In the present paper, the numerical simulation of hydrogen dispersion inside a simple-shaped offshore structure was performed using a commercial CFD program, ANSYS-CFX. The simulated results for concentration of released hydrogen are compared to those of experiment and other simulation in Jordan et al.(2007). As a result, it is seen that the present simulation results are closer to the experiments than other simulation ones. Also it seems that the hydrogen dispersion is closely related to turbulent mixing and the selection of the turbulence model properly is significantly of importance to the reproduction of dispersion phenomena.

Carrier selective solar cell structure has allured curiosity of photovoltaic researchers due to the use of wide band gap transition metal oxide (TMO). Distinctive p/n-type character, broad range of work functions (2 to 7 eV) and risk free fabrication of TMO has evolved new concept of heterojunction intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell employing carrier selective layers such as $MoO_x$, $WO_x$, $V_2O_5$ and $TiO_2$ replacing the doped a-Si layers on either front side or back side. The p/n-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers are deposited by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), which includes the flammable and toxic boron/phosphorous gas precursors. Due to this, carrier selective TMO is gaining popularity as analternative risk-free material in place of conventional a-Si:H. In this work hole selective materials such as $MoO_x$, $WO_x$ and $V_2O_5$has been investigated. Recently $MoO_x$, $WO_x$ & $V_2O_5$ hetero-structures showed conversion efficiency of 22.5%, 12.6% & 15.7% respectively at temperature below $200^{\circ}C$. In this work a concise review on few important aspects of the hole selective material solar cell such as historical developments, device structure, fabrication, factors effecting cell performance and dependency on temperature has been reported.
