In process installations, chemicals operate at high temperature and high pressure. Propylene is used as a basic raw material for manufacturing synthetic materials in the petrochemical industry; However, it is a flammable substance and explosive in the gaseous state. Thus, caution is needed when handling propylene. To prevent explosions, an inert gas, carbon dioxide, was used and the changes in the extent of explosion due to changes in pressure and oxygen concentration at 25 ℃, 100 ℃, and 200 ℃ were measured. At constant temperature, the increase in explosive pressure and the rates of the explosive pressure were observed to rise as the pressure was augmented. Moreover, as the oxygen concentration decreased, the maximum explosive pressure decreased. At 25 ℃ and oxygen concentration of 21%, as the pressure increased from 1.0 barg to 2.5 bar, the gas deflagration index (K_g) increased significantly from 4.71 barg·m/s to 18.83 barg·m/s.

Ignition energy effects of concentration of mixed gas In closed cylindrical vessel(1, 832㎤) are studied. The ignition energy ranged from 25 Joule to 110 Joule, and hidrogen and methane gases were used for flammable gas at stoichiometric condition with oxygen gas and nitrogen gas (N2) was for inert gas, which concentration was maximum 60% . The explosion pressure, temperature, concentration of product gases were calculated. It is found that - The explosion pressure and explosion velocity increase with ignition energy. - The gradience of explosion velocity with ignition energy is steeper than explosion pressure. - The results of calculation are similiar with results of experiment. - NOx is not serious product gas for methane and hydrogen gas, but CO is serious at certain concentration for methane in asphyxiation.

내압 방폭전기기계 기구는 인화성 가스가 존재하는 위험장소에서 사용되어도 인화성 가스의 점화원이 되지 않는 구조로 이루어져야 한다. 또한 전기 스파크를 발생시키는 부품이 점화원이 되어 기계 기구 내부에서 폭발 시 최대 압력에 견디고 내부 화염이 외부로 전파되어 가스나 증기 폭발을 일으키지 않도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 화염 틈새를 통해 외부로 분사되는 연소 생성물의 분사가 외부 가스나 증기를 점화시킬 정도의 온도나 에너지를 가질 수 없도록 하는 MESG(Maximum Experimental Safe Gap)의 중요한 물리적인 메커니즘에 대해 규명하였다. IEC 60079-20-1:2010 기준에 의해 프로판- 아세틸렌-공기로 이루어진 3성분계 혼합가스의 MESG를 실험하여 MESG 값을 측정하고 가스 폭발시의 최대 폭발압력을 측정하였다. 결과로는 아세틸렌 가스 보다는 폭발력이 낮은 프로판 가스의 조성이 MESG 값과 폭발압력에 더욱 큰 변수로 작용함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the numerical analysis model of π-beam explosion is established to compare and analyze the failure modes of the π-beam under the action of explosive loads, thus verifying the accuracy of the numerical model. Then, based on the numerical analysis of different protection forms of π beams under explosive loads, the peak pressure of π beam under different protection conditions, the law of structural energy consumption, the damage pattern of the π beam after protection, and the protection efficiency of different protective layers was studied. The testing results indicate that the pressure peak of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam, and the peak value of pressure decays quickly along the beam longitudinal. Besides, as the longitudinal distance increases, the pressure peak attenuates most heavily on the roof's explosion-facing surface. Meanwhile, the combined protective layer has a strong energy consumption capacity, the energy consumed accounts for 90% of the three parts of the π beam (concrete, steel, and protective layer). The damaged area of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam. We also calculate the protection efficiency of π beams under different protection conditions using the maximum spalling area of concrete. The results show that the protective efficiency of the combined protective layer is 45%, demonstrating a relatively good protective ability.

폭발챔버에서 Agar gel barrier의 폭발완화 특성을 조사하기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 단면적 $100{\times}100mm^2$, 길이 1400 mm를 가지는 폭발챔버 그리고 폭발챔버의 개구부에 설치될 gel barrier의 고정을 위하여 $100{\times}100{\times}300mm^3$의 챔버를 제작하였다. Agar gel과 물을 혼합하여 4가지 서로 다른 농도(2, 3, 4, 5 %)를 가지는 agar gel barrier를 제조하여 실험변수로 사용하였다. 폭발과정 동안 gel displacement의 가시화를 위해 고속카메라 그리고 gel barrier 전 후단의 폭발압력 변화를 관찰하고자 압력획득시스템을 사용하였다. 실험결과, gel 농도 증가에따라 gel의 파열시간 및 최대 폭발압력 도달시간이 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, gel 농도가 증가할 때 gelbarrier 전 후단에서의 폭발압력 완화율이 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a method using finite element analysis and topology optimization to address the issue of overdesign in pressure-explosion proof enclosure doors for semiconductor manufacturing processes. The design conducted in this paper focuses on the pattern design of the enclosure door and its fixation components. The process consists of a solid-filled model, a topology optimization model, and a post-processing model. By applying environmental conditions to each model and comparing the maximum displacement, maximum equivalent stress, and weight values, it was confirmed that a reduction of about 13% in weight is achievable.

국내외에서 가스폭발 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 가스 폭발의 평가와 분석을 위해 TNT 등가량 산정법이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 TNT 폭발 시 화학반응식의 선택과 반응 생성 물질들의 엔탈피의 선택에 따른 폭발에너지, 폭발압력, 폭굉속도 및 온도의 차이를 계산하였다. 화학반응식의 선택에 따라 계산되는 폭굉압은 최고값이 최저값에 비해 2배까지 나타났다. 밀폐된 공간에서의 메탄가스 폭발을 가정하고 TNT 등가량을 산정하였으며 이를 통해 폭발지점에서의 거리에 따른 최대압력과 임펄스 변화를 추정할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper is to find optimum vent port of the booth for gas explosion experiment. Also, it is to understand the safety of the booth for explosion experiment which is installed to let the trainees for legal education which is managed by IGTT(Institute of gas technology training) blow the riskiness of explosion. Since the booth for gas explosion experiment is a confined space, we used the exhaust model for indoor explosion. As the result, it was safety calculated when the amount of leaking gas was close to the maximum of explosion limit on the explosion experiment.

Targeted introduction of explosion-resisting and energy-absorbing materials and optimization of explosion-resisting composite structural styles in underground engineering are the most important measures for modern engineering protection. They could also improve the survivability of underground engineering in wartime. In order to test explosion-resisting and energy-absorbing effects of high-performance equal-sized-aggregate (HPESA) concrete, the explosive loading tests were conducted on HPESA concrete composite plates by field simple explosion craters. Time-history curves of the explosion pressure at the interfaces were obtained under six conditions with different explosion ranges and different thicknesses of the HPESA concrete plate. Test results show that under the same explosion range, composite plate structures with different thicknesses of the HPESA concrete plate differ significantly in terms of the wave-absorbing ability. Under the three thicknesses in the tests, the wave-absorbing ability is enhanced with the growing thickness and the maximum pressure attenuation index reaches 83.4%. The energy attenuation coefficient of the HPESA concrete plate under different conditions was regressively fitted. The natural logarithm relations between the interlayer plate thickness and the energy attenuation coefficient under the two explosion ranges were attained.
