Recently, we have a lot interest in a sudden rise of oil prices and a change weather for the earth warmming, so, development of new alternative fuels need in order to spare fossil fuel and reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the combustion characteristics between neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were tested using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine, especially this biodiesel was produced from soybean oil at our laboratory. This analysis showed that cylinder pressures, the rate of pressure rises and the rate of heat releases were decreased as the blending ratios of biodiesel to diesel oil increased because of lower heating value of biodiesel in spite of increased oxygen content in biodiesel.

This study is carried out for the fire safety of the factory building, the fire risk reduction measure in compliance with an example approached in fire risk reduction systematically, contribute to reduce the fire risk. The analytical fire risk process of discovering, identifying, estimating and evaluating risk and control measure as risk reduction measures are core concept, applies loss prevention with loss control techniques. The painting process in the workplace where the fire hazard and death accident accompanies coexists. Loss prevention problem of creation prevention of dangerous atmosphere at workplace is health and human services problem of normal circumstances, must be inspected with problem of combustible gases at the time of fire explosion. Static electricity measure accomplished the risk control process thoroughly as the fire risk reduction process model with the ignition sources measure which is presented. Fire risk from within organizing will be able to classify with each field by detailedly but risk treatment process will be able to apply basically all the same concept. Consequently about risk management example from before, this study is proposed risk management techniques that standardized rightly in the actual condition of organization with one plan, with discovery of fire risk, the feedback process in compliance with a fire risk reduction and the review which control the result is joint responsibility of engineer, technical expert and manager as part of safety management to practice with the fact must be supervised.

부산 실내사격장 화재의 원인을 추정하고 화재안전대책을 강구하기 위해 화재 시뮬레이션과 사격장 화재의 사례조사를 수행하였다. 현장조사와 잔류화약 분말에 대한 사격시험도 실시하였다. 총구불꽃과 탄자 받이에서의 스파크의 흔적이 CCTV 녹화영상에 나타나지 않았고, 유탄의 충격에 잔류화약이 점화하지 않았다. 따라서 잠재적 점화원 중 담뱃불이 가장 유력한 점화원으로 추정되었다. 또, 사격실에서의 폭발원인은 폴리우레탄 흡음재와 흡음재에 축적된 잔류화약 분말의 격렬한 연소 때문으로 판단되었다. 한편, 실내 사격장의 안전대책으로 프로파일 폴리우레탄 흡음재의 사용금지, 잔류화약 제거와 철저한 관리, 탄자받이의 강구조물 제거 등이 필요하다.

Recently, we have a lot of interest in alternative fuels to provide energy independence from oil producing country and to reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the test results on specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were presented using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine, especially this biodisel was produced from soybean oil at our laboratory. This study showed that Soot and CO emission were decreased as the blending ratios of biodiesel to diesel oil increased, on the other hand NOx emission was slightly increased because of the oxygen content in biodiesel. Also, the biodiesel blends yielded slightly higher specific fuel consumption than that of diesel oil because of lower heating value of biodiesel.

Recently, 2-dimensional flat light sources have been attracting much attention for its use in LCD backlight applications because of its high luminous efficiency and uniformity. A long-gap discharge, mercury-tree flat fluorescent lamp has been developed, which shows a high brightness ($>5000\;cd/m^2$) and high luminous efficacy (60 lm/W). Additionally, it has a wide operating margin and stable driving condition with the aid of an auxiliary electrode. For driving the lamp, a narrow pulse power to maintain the glow discharge state is required. Since there has been no research for this kind of lamp driving, this paper proposes a newly developed short-pulse, high-voltage lamp-driving scheme. The proposed lamp system uses a ballast with a coupled-inductor in order to raise the short pulse voltage up to the lamp ignition level and to obtain energy-recovery action during the glow discharge mode. The operation principles are presented and also the system performances such as the lighting efficiency, spatial and angular uniformities are evaluated by hardware experiments. The results show that the proposed lighting system is a good candidate for the next-generation of LCD backlight systems.

Exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the major sources of air pollution. And, it is extremely difficult to increase gasoline engine efficiency and to reduce $NO_X$ and PM(particulate matter) simultaneously in diesel combustion. This paper offers some basic concepts to overcome the above problems. To solve the problems, a recommended technique is CAI(controlled auto-ignition) combustion. In this paper, a flame trap was used to simulate internal EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) effect. An experimental study was carried out to find combustion characteristics using homogeneous premixed gas mixture in the constant volume combustion chamber(CVCC). Flame propagation photos and pressure signals were acquired to verify the flame trap effect. The flame trap creates high speed burned gas jet. It achieves higher flame propagation speed and more stable combustion due to the effect of geometry and burned gas jet.

The released hydrogen can be ignited even with weak ignition sources. This emphasizes the importance of the hydrogen flammability evaluation to prevent catastrophic failure in hydrogen related facilities including a nuclear power plant. Historically numerous attempts have been made to determine the flammability limit of hydrogen mixtures including several diluents. However, no analytical model has been developed to accurately predict the limit concentration for mixtures containing radiating gases. In this study, the effect of H₂O and CO₂ on flammability limit was investigated through a numerical simulation of lean limit hydrogen flames. The previous flammability limit model was improved based on the mechanistic investigation, with which the amount of indirect radiation heat loss could be estimated by the optically thin approximation. As a result, the sharp increase in limit concentration by H₂O could be explained by high thermal diffusivity and radiation rate. Despite the high radiation rate, however, CO₂ with the lower thermal diffusivity than the threshold cannot produce a noticeable increase in heat loss and ultimately limit concentration. We concluded that the proposed mechanistic analysis successfully explained the experimental results even including radiating gases. The accuracy of the improved model was verified through several flammability experiments for H₂-air-diluent.

수소를 고압으로 압축하여 사용하는 수소충전소는 안전 확보를 위해 설비간의 안전거리를 규정하고 있다. 수소 충전소에서 발생하는 사고 중 대부분의 사고는 누출사고이며, 누출 시 점화로 인해 제트화염이 생성된다. 고압의 수소 누출로 인한 가스 확산 및 제트화염의 해석은 안전거리 설정에 가장 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 고압의 환경에서 운용되는 수소충전소에서 발생할 수 있는 누출사고를 대비한 안전관리 규정 도출을 위하여 누출원 크기별 누출조건을 모사하고 위험거리 등을 파악하여 향후 안전기준 제정 시 참고자료로 활용하고자 한다.

폭발한계와 최소자연발화온도는 가연성 물질의 화재 및 폭발 위험성을 결정하는데 중요한 특성으로 이용된다. 에틸렌의 안전한 취급을 위해 에틸렌의 폭발한계와 최소자연발화온도를 고찰하였다. 에틸렌의 폭발하한계와 상한계는 공기 중에서 각 각 2.6vol%와 36vol%를 추천하며, 최소자연발화온도는 전면 가열인 경우는 $420^{\circ}C$, 국소 고온표면인 경우는 약 $800^{\circ}C$를 추천한다. 또한 에틸렌의 폭발한계의 온도 및 압력의 존성에 대한 새로운 예측식을 제시하였으며, 제시된 식에 의한 예측값은 문헌값과 일치하였다.
