가연성 액체를 취급, 저장 및 수송하는 과정에서 화재폭발의 가능성은 항상 존재하고 있으며, 여러 가지 인적, 물적 원인에 의해서 화재가 발생하면 인명과 재산상의 피해가 많은 대형사고의 성격을 띄고 있다. 이와 같은 화재폭발 사고를 예방하기 위해서 현장에서 취급하고 있는 위험성 물질에 관한 위험특성을 정확하게 파악하여 근본적인 예방대책을 강구하여야 하며, 특히 가연성 액체의 경우에는 위험성의 지표인 연소 특성을 파악하는 것은 대단히 중요하다.(중략)

Keeping the gas pipelines in the common utility tunnel is useful because it has a lower risk of corrosion than conventional burial, and can prevent from excavating construction. But, explosions in common utility tunnels can cause greater damage from the blast overpressure compared to outdoor explosions, due to nature of the confined environment. Despite this fact, however, research on common utility tunnels has been limited to fire hazard and little has been studied on the dangers of explosions. This study developed scenarios of methane gas explosion caused by gas leak from gas piping within the common utility tunnel followed by unknown ignition; the study then calculated the extent of the impact of the explosion on the facilities above, and suggested the needs for designing additional safety measures. Two scenarios were selected per operating condition of safety devices and the consequence analysis was carried out with FLACS, one of the CFD tools for explosion simulation. The overpressures for all scenarios are substantial enough to completely destroy most of the buildings. In addition, we have provided additional measures to secure safety especially reducing incident frequency.

톨루엔, o-크실렌등의 유기용제는 도료공업 등의 혼합용제와 기계부품의 세척등에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 물질들은 공정상의 제조, 저장, 처리과정 및 취급과 사용 중에 부주의로 인한 밀폐구역에서의 누출로 폭발과 화재사고가 자주 발생하고 있다. 97년 5월 $\Delta$$\Delta$조선소에서 건조 중이던 선박 기관실의 선체 탱크내부 도장작업 중 화재ㆍ폭발이 발생하였으며, 97년 10월 $\square$$\square$조선소에서 수리중이던 유조선의 Tank 내부와 pipe line에 체류중인 가연성 증기가 인화되어 화재ㆍ폭발사고가 98년 6월 김해시 소재 00공업(주)에서 솔벤트로 공작기계 부품을 세척하던중 가연성 증기가 인화되어 화재가 발생하였다.

Accident occurred by gas explosion in house or building causes damage on lives and properties. To avoid secondary damage, this study drew area ratio of vent area with the experiment for pressure variation with vent area versus building volume by selection of model for different size and shapes of vent area generated by explosion. In addition, Appropriate model was chosen to predict the damage by minimum pressure with the experiment of opening are shapes. This model can prevent secondary damage with the selected vent area and shape to guarantee building safety.

Currently, local regulations, such as KS Code, do not clearly specify how to calculate the range of hazardous area, so the dispersion modeling program should be used to select dispersion. The purpose of this study is to present a methodology of determining the range of hazardous area which is simpler and more reasonable than modelling by using representative materials and process conditions. Based on domestic and overseas regulations that are currently in effect, variables affecting distance to LFL(Lower Flammable Limit) were selected. A total of 16 flammable substances were modelled for substance variables, process conditions variables, and weather conditions variables, and the statistical analysis selected the variables that affect them. Using the selected variables, a three-step classification method was prepared to select the range of locations subject to explosion hazard.

Most of the guided weapons have been kept and transferred at the launching tube and fired in case of necessity in these day. Launching tube is a kind of case to protect the guided weapons from external environments and conducted as a guide when they are fired. When we attached the guided weapons to launching tube we usually has used explosive bolt. Explosive bolts have been used explosives when they had to be separated. But when they are separated there are some bad effects; a flame, fragments and pyre-shock. Because of these bad effects there are many restriction to use bolt as joining devices to precision guided weapons. To solve these problems we invented ball type bolt. Unlike explosive bolt, ball type bolt is separated without a flame, fragments and pyre-shock. And it also has a good mechanical properties as much as those of explosive bolt.

Activated carbon is a carbonaceous material mainly used as a gaseous or liquid adsorbent. As fire-related accidents occur consistently due to the accumulation of heat of adsorption and oxidation of volatile organic compounds, the explosive characteristics and thermal stability of powdered and granular activated carbon made from coal and coconut shells were evaluated. As a result of the particle size analysis, the powdered activated carbon was in the particle size range (0.4~3) ㎛, and thermal properties such as exothermic onset temperature and decomposition behavior were analyzed using a differential scanning calorimetry and a thermogravimetric analysis. As a result of the evaluation of the explosion hazards for dust, both coal-based and coconut-based powdered activated carbon are classified as St1 class with weak explosion, but this is a relative and does not mean that the explosion hazards is absolutely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish countermeasures for reducing the damage.
