지난 2005년 8월 18일 대전광역시 중구 문화동 가옥에서 발생한 화재를 사례로 하여 현재 발생되고 있는 보험범죄의 잔인하고 반인륜적인 모델을 제시하였다. 동 사례는 일가족 4명이 화재로 인하여 사망하였으며, 초기에는 전기누전에 의한 단순한 화재로 오인되었으나, 현장의 정밀감정, 소사체의 정밀 부검 및 면밀한 수사를 통하여 보험금을 노린 살인 방화사건으로 밝혀진 사례이다. 본 고찰에서는 화재현장의 상황, 가옥 내부의 연소형태, 전기적인 특이점, 연소매개체, 피의자의 행위, 연소지연시간의 발생 및 수사 자료를 근거로 제시하고, 종합적으로 고찰하여 일가족 4명을 살해한 후, 시너를 연소매개체로 사용한 방화에 의해 화재가 발생한 것으로 판단한 사례이다.

본 연구는 2004년 10월 3일 03시 29분경 전북 00시 00동 지리산 흑돼지 정육점에서 발생한 화재현장을 대상으로 화재조사 및 감식을 하여 그 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 조사 결과 안쪽방과 매장 사이에 있던 냉장고가 심하게 소훼 되었고, 점포와 안방 출입문 부위를 중심으로 가장 심한 탄화상태를 보이는 것으로 발화지점으로 보이며, 점포 내 휴게공간에서 발화하여 점포내부와 화장실을 통해 연소 확대되었음을 확인하였다. 한편, 발화원인으로는 전기적원인, 가스 난방기구 및 담뱃불 등 미소화원 등에 의한 발화 가능성의 특이점이 보이지 않으며, 휴게공간에서의 급격한 연소현상, 폭발 후 화재로 진전된 흔적, 바닥의 가연성액체에 의한 연소흔적 등으로 보아 방화의 가능성이 높다. 화재는 휴식공간입구 우측 큰 교자상과 밑의 작은 교자상 밑, 그 주위에 연소매개체로서 등유를 뿌린 상태에서 휴대용가스렌지를 이용 방화한 것으로 추정된다.

This paper is to develop analytical techniques of flammable liquids which have been used for accelerating fire in accidental fires and arsons. We tested the temperature distribution of ceiling, fire patterns on the floor, and existence of flammable liquids and a check with GC/MS about flammable liquids comparing with papers, newspapers, and clothing. Research findings are as follows. The temperature of ceiling is influenced by flame. So gasoline and thinner was observed that combustible materials would be burned by flame. The fire patten on the floor was observed that flammable liquids had specialized pattern comparing combustible materials. When combustible materials on the PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) floor was burned, they didn't react to the gas detector. But flammable liquids had opposite results. After 7 days, we identified components of fire residues with the GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) about existence of flammable liquids and got components of flammable liquids. Fire investigation is a complicated processes. But we understand characteristics of materials, need detail investigations, and use the GC/MS to analyse flammable materials.

Forest fires in Korea, having forest coverage of 70%, have kept increasing in number and scale since the middle of 1990's. Although deposited fallen leaves in forests such as herbaceous plants, conifers, and broadleaf trees are used as a medium for forest fires, the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of the various species of trees are hardly studied. Oriental oak is the representative broadleaf tree in domestic forests, and pyrolysis and combustion of oriental oak leaf were carried out by thermogravimetic analysis (TGA). The leaf of oriental oak was ignited at $239^{\circ}C$ whereas pyrolysis started at $250^{\circ}C$. The corresponding kinetic parameters including activation energy and pre-exponential factor were determined by differential method over the degree of conversions. The values of activation energies for pyrolysis were increased as the conversion increases from 10% to 80%, whereas those of values were decreased during combustion.

A numerical study was undertaken to clarify the mechanisms of heat transfer in fluid-particle suspension flows. Such flows, including fluidization, are of considerable industrial importance. The present study uses 2-D numerical computations of collisions of normal incidence between a particle and a wall. By comparing the results using (a) adiabatic boundary conditions on the particle and (b) uniform, elevated temperature conditions on the particle, the contributions of fluid-mediated conduction and particle induced convection were successfully separated. Computational expedience led to the use of a transient conduction thermal layer as the background thermal field for the analysis. The results shows that the effect of particle movement is very small until the particle reaches a distance of one to one half diameter away from the wall. The gas-mediated conduction effect is dominant over the induced gas convection effect when Pe is small and the induced gas convection effect becomes significant as Pe increases.
