An experimental study is presented for extinguishing characteristics of liquid fuel fire by water mist containing sodium acetate trihydrate. To evaluate the extinguishing performance of water mist containing an additive, 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 to measure flame temperature variation. The average evaporation rate of a water droplet containing an additive was lower than that of a pure water droplet at a given surface temperature due to the precipitation of salt in the liquid-film and change of surface tension. In case of using an additive, the flame temperature was lower than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing an additive was increased reducing flame size. And also dissociated metal atoms, 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 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

This study the effect of pyrolysis products ABC dry chemical and of monoammonium phosphate on wood surface. When the pyrolysis product was removed from the wood surface, monoammonium phosphate was removed due to the high viscosity of the transparent pyrolysis product, but the ABC dry chemical was removed in a lump form. Thermal analysis showed that the pyrolysis characteristics of each sample were similar but the weight of pyrolysis residue was 55.9% for ABC dry chemical and 25.2% for monoammonium phosphate. The additives added to the ABC dry chemical also affect the weight of the pyrolysis residue and the fire protection effect of metaphosphoric acid.

Consumption of liquid digestive medicine has continually grown in recent years. This present study was designed to evaluate the capability of liquid digestive medicine to erode dental enamel, relating the pH and titratable acidity of liquid digestive medicine. Three commercially available liquid digestive medicines were chosen these were Gashwalmyeungsu, Saengrokchun and Wicheongsu. The liquid digestive medicines were evaluated in respect to pH, titratable acidity and concentrations of calcium and phosphate, respectively. This measure was carried out three times for each digestive medicine and was recorded the data as mean (standard deviation). Bovine enamel specimens measured microhardness at base line and then were randomly assigned to 4 groups of 10 each. The specimens were immersed into each liquid digestive medicine for 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes and then evaluated each time by VHN. All digestive medicines had a pH of less than 3.7. Wicheongsu had the lowest pH 2.93 and Gashwalmyeungsu had highest pH 3.63. In pH 5.5, titratable acidity of Wicheongsu was 1.27 ml. Gashwalmyeungsu was 0.63 ml. Saengrokchun was 0.60 ml. All liquid digestive medicines showed low concentration of calcium and phosphate. The microhardness of specimens after immersion into liquid digestive medicines was continuously reduced in all digestive medicines. After 30-minute treatment in liquid digestive medicines, Wicheongsu containing low pH and high tiratable acidity was shown to be lowest microhardness value ($207.80{\pm}15.52$). The three liquid digestive medicines caused surface softening of enamel erosion. We conclude that drinks, commonly consumed by functional dyspepsia patient can cause erosion of enamel.

This study examined the improvement of anaerobic digestion rate and sludge reduction as a result of the addition of anaerobic digestion with thickened sludge and solution of VFAs obtained from food waste. The methane production rate of the digestion system was 2.21 times higher when anaerobic digestion reactor injected into anaerobes with VFAs from food wastes of 5 percent. Also, The reduction of the amount of concentrated sludge injected will proceed rapidly because of the TCOD concentration in the digestion reactor was more than twice higher. Indirectly it was shown that the increased production system contributed significantly to the methane production efficiency.

가스계 소화설비는 소화약제의 특성상 방호구역내의 누설면적에 민감하게 영향을 받고, 누설면적이 너무 크면 제대로 된 소화성능을 발휘 할 수 없기 때문에 설계 및 시공, 그리고 설치 후 성능 검증 등에 주의가 필요하다. 이전 가스계 소화설비의 성능확인방법으로 종래에는 소화약제 전량을 직접방출하거나 극히 일부 저장용기의 소화약제만을 방출시키는 소위 간이시험을 실시하는 것이 보편적이었으나, 방출시험은 고비용, 일회성 및 시험절차의 난이성, 그리고 환경오염으로 인해 실제 방출시험을 통한 설비의 신뢰성 확인이 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 상황을 감안하여 가스계 소화설비의 성능검증을 위해 Door Fan Test를 활용하는 방안에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

To analyze the characteristics of air flow and $CO_2$ extinguishant transfer when extinguishant is injected into a closed space similar to marine engine room, a numerical simulation on a space was performed. Flow fields and $CO_2$ concentration fields are calculated according with the variation of the location & injection angle of nozzles. The results of simulation showed that the pattern of recirculation flow was affected greatly with the location & injection angle of nozzles and such a recirculation flow accelerated mass transfer of $CO_2$ and greatly affected the diffusion process of $CO_2$ extinguishant. It is considered that this result of this study can be useful to designing the arrangement of nozzles for the $CO_2$ fire fighting equipments in a marine engine room.

우주발사체를 운용하는 발사장은 화재나 폭발의 위험에 많이 노출 되어 있다. 발사장은 비행시험전 발사체의 모든 상태를 점검 하고, 비행시험을 수행하는 곳이다. 또, 유사시에는 대량의 산화제와 연료가 누출 되어 화재 및 폭발사고로 이어질 가능성이 있는 곳이다. 나로우주센터에서 운용하는 우주발사체 나로호는 연료로 케로신(kerosene)을 사용하고, 산화제로 액화산소(LOX)를 사용한다. 발사대의 소화설비는 화재발생시 원격제어를 통해서 소화수와 소화약제를 분사하여 진화하는 방식으로 구성 되어 있다.
