This paper deal with vehicle fire caused by damage of diesel particulate filter (DPF) on diesel passenger vehicles. In order to reduce particulate matters included exhaust gases, a DPF in the exhaust system were installed diesel vehicles. A DPF was broken by excessively trapped particulate matters, regeneration error with a malfunction of ECU and defect of suction system such as swirl valve. If the DPF was broken, hot exhaust gases was released to the bottom of vehicle and released hot exhaust gases lead to occur the fire through combustible materials around the exhaust system. When a fire happened in the diesel vehicle caused by damage of DPF, silicate inorganic compounds were attached to the exhaust ventilation pipe and muffler. The silicate inorganic compounds were created by DPF combustion consisting of raw material ceramics. If the silicate inorganic compounds attached to the tail pipe in the diesel passenger vehicles, its fire cause will be assumed damage of DPF.

The objective of this work presented here was focused on analysis of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide characteristics in ESC test mode from heavy-duty diesel engine installed on-road vehicles applicable to prime propulsion engine for marine vessels. The authors confirmed that a large quantity particulate matter were emitted in high power density condition, nitrogen oxide characteristics were dependent on exhaust gas temperature. Particulate matters were reduced by 1/100~1/1,000 times in post DPF with test modes but filtration efficiency was decreased in the engine power fluctuation. In the case of the high speed and power condition, the exhaust level of particulate matters was increased according to increment of temperature of gas flowing into DPF. The orders of magnitude for particle concentration levels from the analysis of size distribution of particulate matters of test engine was different. Both emitting nano-sized particles below 100nm regardless of DPF and non-DPF.

Experiments at the Japan Microgravity Center (JAMIC) have investigated the interaction between diffusion flames and solid surfaces Placed neat flames The fuel for the flames was $C_{2} H_{4}$ The surrounding oxygen concentration was 35$\%$ with surrounding air temperatures of $T_{a}$ : 300K. Especially, the effect of wall temperature on soot deposition from a diffusion flame Placed near the wall has been studied by utilizing microgravity environment, which can attain very stable flame along the wall. Cylindrical burner with fuel injection was adopted to obtain two dimensional soot distributions by laser extinction method. In the experiment two different wall temperatures. $T_{w}$=300, 800 K, were selected as test conditions The results showed that the soot distribution between flame and burner wall was strong1y affected by the wall temperature and soot deposition increases with decrease in wall temperature. The comparison among the values lot two different wall temperatures suggests that the change in thermophoretic effect is the most dominant factor to give the change in soot deposition characteristics.

The characteristics of soot deposition on the cold wall in laminar diffusion flames have been numerically analyzed with a two-dimension with the FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). In particular, the effects of surrounding air temperature and wall temperature have been discussed. The fuel for the flame is an ethylene ($C_2H_4$). The surrounding oxygen concentration is 35%. Surrounding air temperatures are 300K, 600K, 900K and 1200K. Wall temperatures are 300K, 600K and 1200K. The soot deposition length defined as the relative approach distance to the wall per a given axial distance is newly introduced as a parameter to evaluate the soot deposition tendency on the wall. The result shows that soot deposition length is increased with increasing the surrounding air temperatures and with decreasing the wall temperature. And the numerical results led to the conclusion that it is essential to consider the thermophoretic effect for understanding the soot deposition on the cold wall properly.

The effect of temperature distributions on soot volume fraction in double-concentric diffusion flames have been investigated experimentally. Using fine thermocouple wires and a rapid insertion mechanism, we have measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which can lower the temperature signal about 100 K by increasing the heat loss from the junction by radiation. The temperature at the flame axis is higher in the double-concentric diffusion flames than in normal co-flow diffusion flames because of the inverse diffusion flame. However, it is almost the same as that at the periphery of normal flames, on which the inverse flame does not have an effect. Thus, the lower soot concentration found in the double-concentric diffusion flame can be explained by the effect of nitrogen diffusion from the central air jet.

The demand for coating technology on electric power equipment that has arisen from such issues regarding the attaching of illegal advertisements and posters to electric power distribution boxes such as TR, SW, etc. in down town areas seeks to produce functional coating surfaces using polymers and nano-materials that will result in improvements in self-cleaning performance and greater stability even under harsh environmental conditions. KEPCO-coatings consist of copolymerized acrylic resin and methacryl-modified reactive silicone that are able to chemically combine, which results in performance improvement without any leakage of of silicone, thus contributing to its properties of high-stability. Thus, the research team has also started long-term on-site testing on 9 electric power distribution spots around a city center in cooperation with the KEPCO Daeduck-yusung branch. The KEPCO-coating technology could advance the best coating materials and processes to meet appropriate circumstances for a variety of outdoor damage environment. It is also predicted that KEPCO could be possible to expand international electric maintenance markets and to arrange business platforms if KEPCO would achieve its original technology (IPs) by the means of upgrading in self-cleaning coating technology and obtaining long-term on-site test records from nationwide electric facilities.

A study of soot deposition and reentrainment was carried out both theoretically and experimentally to understand behavior of soot formed by incomplete combustion in a diesel engine. Theoretically, soot deposition on engine cylinder wall and/or piston head was studied with a stagnation point flow approximation. Soot reentrainment occurred upon exhaust gas blowdown was also studied by assuming a long-normal shear velocity distribution. Experimentally, a LPG$O_2/N_2$ flame impinging on a disk, produced by a concentric tubular burner, was chosen as deposition configuration and a shear flow unit with compressed air was installed for the study of reentrainment. For selected flame configuration, soot deposition measurements were conducted and showed that the dominant deposition mechanism was thermophoresis. Distributions of gas temperature and soot number density were estimated by combining data obtained by a B-type thermocouple with a thermophoretic transport theory. Disk temperature distributions were directly measured using a K-type thermocouple. Soot size and morphology were estimated from a TEM photograph. Ratios of soot deposit to reentrained amount were measured for a wide range of shear flow velocities, which showed that the reentrainment model was reasonable.

The temperature distribution in double-concentric diffusion flames have been investigated experimentally by rapid insertion technique. Using a fine thermocouple and rapid insertion mechanism, the temperature has been measured before soot particles attach the thermocouple junction which can affect the temperature signal by changing the radiation heat loss. For double-concentric diffusion flames, the temperature at the axis is higher than that of normal coflow diffusion flames because of the inverse diffusion flame at the center of the flame. However, it is almost same at the periphery on which the inverse flame does not have an effect.
