The spontaneous ignition of a flammable matter is a crucial factor for the prevention of a fire. The minimum ignition temperatures of Gasoline and Cenox in $1000{\mu}l$ of a sample were determined to be $340.5^{\circ}C\;and\;368.5^{\circ}C$ respectively. In addition when the time taken for ignition was 1.0 sec, the instantaneous ignition temperatures were $416^{\circ}C\;and\;427^{\circ}C$ respectively. Moreover, the changes in the minimum ignition temperature were small when less than 60 v/v% of Cenox was added, but the changes were great when 80 v/v% or more was added. Therefore, it is hypothesized that, when used as a fuel in the Gasoline engine, the ratio of the mixture of Cenox and Gasoline will be a very important factor.

In this study, the evaluate characteristics of fire and explosion of MEK-PO are subjected to spontaneous ignition, flash point and explosion hazard. The minimum ignition temperature and instantaneous ignition temperature for MEK-PO were $188.5^{\circ}C\;and\;230^{\circ}C\;at\;225{\mu}L$. In addition The flash point for MEK-PO was obtained at $49^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the maximum explosion pressure and the maximum explosion pressure rising velocity: using MCPVT (mini cup pressure vessel tester) were $10.82kgf/cm^2\;and\;33.72kgf/cm^2{\cdot}s$.

This study was performed by experiments with ASTM's apparatus for determination of autoignition temperature to obtain autoignition characteristics of 1-Heptene, 2-Heptene and 3-Heptene, respectively. As results, minimum autoignition temperatures (MAIT) of 1-Heptene, 2-Heptene and 3-Heptene were 246$^{\circ}C$, 248$^{\circ}C$ and 254$^{\circ}C$, respectively and each dropping volume of these temperatures was 0.25$m\ell$, 0.20$m\ell$ and 0.20$m\ell$. Instantaneous ignition temperatures measured at each dropping volume of Heptene were 371$^{\circ}C$, 357$^{\circ}C$ and 342$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Relation ignition delay time with ignition temperature at minimum autoignition temperature agreed well with Semenov's equation, and the values of apparent activation energy from this equation were 47Kca1/mo1 for 1-Heptene, 35Kca1/mo1 for 2-Heptene and 29Kca1/mo1 for 3-Heptene. It was found that the values of apparent activation energy decreased as the position of double bond changed from end to center in C-C chain.

Characteristics of methane direct-injection spark-ignition stratified combustion in lean hydrogen mixture were analyzed both in a single cylinder engine and in a constant volume combustion chamber. Combustion pressure and Instantaneous combustion chamber wall temperature during the combustion process were measured with a thin-film thermocouple and used in analyses of combustion and cooling loss. Results in this research show that the premixed hydrogen increases cooling loss to combustion chamber wall while achieving combustion promotion, and the combustion system is effective especially in lean mixture conditions. Analysis of flame propagation was also done with Schlieren photography in the constant volume combustion chamber.
