An experimental study was presented for extinguishing characteristics of liquid fuel fire by water mist($Dv_{0.99}{\leq}200{\mu}m$) containing potassium acetate and sodium acetate trihydrate. To evaluate the extinguishing performance of water mist containing additives, the evaporation characteristics of a water droplet on a heated surface was examined. The evaporation process was recorded by a charge-coupled-device camera. Also, small-scale extinguishing tests were conducted for n-heptane pool fire in ventilated space. During the experiments, flame temperatures were measured, and concentrations of oxygen and carbon monoxide were analyzed by a combustion gas analyzer. The average evaporation rate of water droplet containing additives was lower than that of pure water at a given surface temperature and decreased with the concentration increase due to the precipitation of salt in the liquid-film and change of surface tension. In case of using additives, the fire extinguishing times was shorter than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing additives was increased. And also dissociated metal atoms, potassium or sodium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH, H which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4 MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

Cotton fabrics treated with hybrid materials were developed and prepared. A halogen-free flame retardant and an aromatic amide were blended and applied to cotton fabrics. Thermal and physical properties of the treated cotton fabrics were investigated. The surface of the pure and coated cotton fabrics was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The elemental composition of the coated surface of the cotton fabric was measured using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and compared with that of pure cotton fabric. After being solved in N,N-dimethylacetamide, m-aramid and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPP) were applied to cotton fabrics through a dip-pad-coagulation process. The treated cotton fabrics with recycled m-aramid/TPP resulted in increased limited oxygen index values and thermal resistance.

This study was carried on the combustion characteristics of a pure light oil and emulsified fuels at high-pressure injection in a spray combustion installation, The volume fractions of water in an emulsion were varied up to 30% and the injection pressures were 7.5, 100, 200, and $300kg_f/cm^2$. The concentrations of NOx and the average temperatures of flame were measured. And Images of OH radical using ICCD camera and instantaneous schlieren photography of flames were photographed. It was found that the temperature distribution of axial distance in the emulsified fuels was increased in the upstream and decreased in the down stream. The temperature distribution of radial distance was high at the peripheral regions of the spray in the upstream and at the central regions of spray in the downstream, The intensity of OH radical was denser at the water content 10% than at the pure light oil over the injection pressure $200kg_f/cm^2$.

퇴적금속분체의 입경 변화에 따른 화염전파 거동과 발화특성을 자체 제작한 실험장치와 열중량분석 시험장치를 활용하여 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 평균입경이 다른 Mg, Ti를 포함한 Zr, Ta, Mg-Al(90:10 wt%)의 금속분진과 PMMA 시료를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 금속 퇴적층의 두께가 5 mm 이상의 경우에는 화염전파속도의 퇴적층 두께에 대한 의존성이 나타나지 않았다. 평균 입경이 작을수록 Ti는 화염전파속도가 증가하지만 Mg의 경우에는 화염전파속도가 감소하였다. 평균입경 $51{\mu}m$에 있어서 Mg퇴적분체는 Mg-Al(90:10%wt)합금 퇴적분체에 비하여 화염전파속도가 약 50%가 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 조사한 금속분체 산화물층 두께는 화염전파속도와 반비례하는 경향을 보였으며 입경 변화에 따른 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 또한 Ti와 Mg의 열중량 분석시험 결과, Mg는 $550^{\circ}C$, Ta는 $578^{\circ}C$에서 발화에 의한 연소로 판단되는 중량 증가가 관찰되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 기존의 산업용 보일러에서 이산화탄소 배출저감을 위하여 연소가스 재순환에 의한 고온 순산소 연소기술을 개발하는데 있다. 이를 위해 실험실 규모의 LNG 연소기에서 연소 화염특성을 평가하기 위한 조직적인 수치해석 연구가 일차적으로 수행되었다. 특히 본 연구에서 고려한 중요한 변수는 산소부화환경에서 계산된 연소가스의 재순환 정도이다. 배기가스 재순환이 없는 100% 순산소 연소환경에서 화염은 고온의 길고 가는 층류형상의 화염을 보였다. 이는 산화제 중에서 질소성분이 감소함으로써 약화된 난류혼합효과와 $N_2$ 가스에 의한 현열손실의 감소에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였으며 문헌에 발표된 실험과 일치된 결과를 보였다. $O_2/CO_2$ 혼합가스에서 $CO_2$ 가스의 재순환율이 증가될수록 산화제의 유량 증가에 따른 강화된 난류혼합으로 인해 최고 화염온도가 버너 근처로 이동한 반면 전반적인 연소가스 온도는 $N_2$에 비해 $CO_2$의 높은 비열로 인해 낮아지는 현상을 보였다. 결국 80% 이상 $CO_2$ 가스를 재순환한 경우 연소가스의 온도가 급격하게 떨어지는 화염소멸 현상을 보여주었다. 그러나 30% $O_2/70%$ $CO_2$의 혼합 연소조건에서는 기존의 공기연소와 유사한 가스온도를 나타내었다. 이외에도 공기연소와 동일한 유량조건에서 난류강도와 열수지 측면에서 화염특성 변화를 평가하기 위한 면밀한 연구가 수행되었다.

소화약제의 국소방출방식 개념이 적용될 수 있는 대향류 확산화염을 대상으로 $CO_2$ 소화약제의 소화기구를 재조명하기 위한 연구가 시도되었다. 이를 위해 연료 또는 공기류에 $CO_2$가 첨가된 낮은 총괄신장율의 $CH_4$/air 대향류 확산화염이 상세반응을 이용한 수치해석을 통해 검토되었다. 첨가된 $CO_2$를 포함한 복사 참여 화학종의 복사 열손실을 고려하기 위하여 optically thin model(OTM)이 적용되었다. 주요 결과로서, 공기류에 첨가된 $CO_2$의 소화농도 예측결과는 문헌에 보고된 실험결과를 적절하게 예측하고 있으나, 연료류에 첨가된 경우 다소 과소 예측된 결과를 확인하였다. 소화효과에 대한 정량적 분석을 위하여 가상의 소화약제의 개념이 도입되었다. $CO_2$ 소화효과의 분석을 통해 총괄신장율($a_g$)에 따른 순수 희석효과, 복사 열손실 및 열용량에 의한 열적효과 그리고 $CO_2$의 연쇄반응 억제를 통한 화학적 효과의 정량적 기여도를 구체적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

An experimental study is performed for extinguishing of n-heptane pool fire by water mist containing potassium acetate as a fire suppression additive. Water mist was generated by a single pressure nozzle in a small-scale chamber. The drop size distribution of water mist was measured using laser diffraction(Malvern particle sizer). The flame temperature, oxygen concentration and carbon monoxide concentration were measured. In case of using additives, the fire extinguishing time was shorter than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing additives was increased. And also dissociated metal atoms, potassium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH, H which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

Halon was known as a cause of the ozone layer destruction. In 1987, it was designated as one of the ozone-layer-destroying materials in the Montreal Protocol. Therefore substitutes of Halon agent has been developed including inert gas extinguish system, which is one of the most widely used fire extinguishing system. This study intended to increase the efficiency of inert gas extinguishing agent by using inert gas additives. As IG-541 shows high extinguishing power, the experiment was performed to measure the effects of gaseous additives to it. Cup-burner fire extinguishing apparatus was used with n-Heptane fuel. Among many of pure inert gaseous agents, Helium showed the most excellent extinguishing power. When Helium was added to IG-541, fire extinguishing power was increased and the concentration of oxygen in chimney also risen. By adding Helium to IG-541, the effectiveness of inert gas fire extinguishing system is able to be increased.

Composites based on engineering thermoplastics exhibit excellent mechanical and thermal properties and simple processing and reprocessing attributes, and are widely used in the aerospace, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and automobile industries. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is one of the most desirable engineering thermoplastics, owing to its superior thermal performance, inherent flame retardancy resulting from the presence of sulfur in its backbone structure, chemical resistance, and satisfactory electrical properties. However, pure PPS resin has limited applicability owing to its brittleness. To compensate for these shortcomings, various filler materials are frequently used in the manufacture of PPS composites. In this review, we would like to present the correlation between the structure and physical properties of PPS composite materials using various fillers.
