This paper analyzes the combustion diffusion pattern when a water purifier is artificially ignited outside and inside in order to provide data to examine the cause of fire of a water purifier damaged by fire. The analysis result of the combustion diffusion pattern of a water purifier shows that the combustion diffused at a higher speed when it was ignited inside the purifier than when ignited outside. It took approximately 360 seconds for the water purifier to be half-burned when ignited on the outside, and approximately 180 seconds when ignited from inside. That is, it is thought that the internal combustion speed is higher because the internal ignition causes the generated heat to be accumulated and radiated instantly. It was observed that the water purifier damaged by fire caused by external ignition showed a uniform carbonization pattern and the carbide burned down at the bottom were gradually deposited. The water purifier damaged by internal ignition showed a relatively clear boundary of carbonized surface, which formed a V-pattern. The difference in the combustion patterns presents an objective base from which to determine where the fire started. By the time the purifier was half-burned by fire, the built-in fuse had not melted and the power supply protection device did not operate. In addition, as was found in the case of the fuse damaged by a general fire, carbonization occurred at the metal holder, and it is thought that this fact may be used as a basis from which to determine the cause of a fire.

Thermal batteries are also called molten-salt batteries as the electrolyte is mainly composed of molten salt. The molten-salt electrolyte is a solid that does not conduct electricity at room temperature, but when it is melted by a pyrotechnic heat source, it becomes an excellent ionic conductor. Thermal batteries are a kind of pyrotechnic battery because they operate only when the solid electrolyte is melted by the heat energy provided by pyrotechnic materials. Pyrotechnic components used in a thermal battery include heat sources, fuse strips, and an igniter. The reliability of these pyrotechnic components critically affects the reliability and performance of the battery that must supply electricity stably to guided munitions even under extreme environmental conditions. Different igniter types offer different advantages: notch-type igniters offer improved ignition probability, whereas film-type igniters offer improved safety. The addition of metal oxides to the heat paper could improve the burn rate, and the ignition reliability could be greatly improved by using it with a flame igniter at the same time. Using a two-step reduction process, high-purity Fe particles in coral form can be safely obtained.

본 논문에서는 Laser Rayleigh Pyrometer에 의한 광학계의 개조와 측정기술을 발전시켜 지금까지의 측정이 불가능한 밀폐용기내에서 분출화염의 온도측정을 시도하여 분출화염에 의한 착화나 소염의 연구에 중요한 자료를 얻고자 하는데 있다. 밀폐용기내에서의 온도측정은 대기개방형에서와 같이 Laser의 에너지를 증대시키기 위해 이용한는 다중반사 Mirror가 사용될 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 약한 Rayleigh산란빛에 의하여 입사창이란 Laser Trap으로 발생하는 강한 배경광 및 분출화염 뿐만 아니고 착화된 화염에서 대량의 화학발광은 피할 수 없다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 영향을 제거하는데 노력하여 밀폐용기내의 연소장에서 온도를 측정하였으며 또 측정가능성을 시사하였다.

To predict speciation of copper and cadmium in natural waters, the stability constant of complexes formed between copper or cadmium and natural organic ligands have been determined by the ion selective electrodes at pH 6. The stability constants for copper and cadmium, log $K'_{CuL} = 5.80\;and\;log K'_{CdL}=3.82$, were incorporated inot MINEQL computer program and prediction of chemical species of copper and cadmium in a model fresh water system was made by using this computer program. The natural organic ligands form complex with cupric ions at the concentration of $10^{-6}$ moles/l and with cadmium ions at the concentration of $10^{-5}$ moles/l. This result showed that prediction of chemical species of heavy metals in natural waters was not possible without taking into account the presence of the natural organic ligands.

Ni, Co, Zn, Cd, Mn, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba 등의2가 금속과 U(VI) 및 V(IV)의 이온이 만드는 $MCup_2$ 조성의 cupferrates 착화합물에 관하여, 그 용해도가 좋은 dioxane-$H_2O$, methanol-$H_2O$, ethanol-$H_2O$ 및 2-propanol-$H_2O$의 혼합용매를 사용하여, 그들의 몰분율을 변화시키면서 제 1, 제 2 및 전체의 열역학적인 안정도상수를 전위차적정법에 의하여 측정하고, 안정도 상수와 유기용매의 몰분율에 관한 실험식을 얻었다. 한편 분광광전법에 의하여 가능한 cupferrates의 전체 안정도 상수를 측적하여 이들과 비교하였다. 2가 금속 cupferrates의 안정도상수는 위에 적은 금속의 순서로 감소하고, 이들의 log $K_1$은 log $K_2$보다 크지만, U(VI)과 V(IV)의 cupferrates는 log $K_1$$K_2$여서 1:1과 1:2 착화합물 사이에 구조 변화가 있는듯하다. 몰분율이 영인 점에서의 안정도상수는 금속 cupferrates의 수용액에서의 용해반응의 평형상수에 해당하며, 금속의 착화합물의 안정도상수와 용해도와는 무관하고, K<$10^5$인 cupferrates에 관해서는 분광전법을 적용하기 어렵다.

Recently military industrial company, utilizing company funded R&D and goverment and industry contracts, has developed ACTS/DACS technology. This technology can be utilized to rapidly steer "smart" bullets, "smart" rounds, tactical missile, cruise missile and kill vehicles for both endo- and exoatmospheric applications. The ACTS/DACS typically consists of a Smart Bus Controller(SCB), a proprietary network firing bus, Smart Pyrotechnic Devices(SPD), rocket motors, and a structure. The SCB communicates with the SPDs over the propretary network firing bus. Each rocket motor contains an SPD which provides rocket motor ignition. Firing energy is stored locally in the SPD so surge currents do not occur in the system as rocket motors are fired. This approach allows multiple, truly simultaneous firings without the need for large, dedicated batteries. Each SPD also functions as a network tranceiver and high reliability fir set all in the space of a single-sided 10 millimeter diameter circuit. The present work develops a new means for igniting explosive materials. The volume of semiconductor bridge (SCB) is over 30 times smaller than a conventional hot wire. We believe that the present work has a potential for development of a new igniter such as smart pyrotechnic device.

The numerical analysis of the reduction of reaction mechanism for the ignition of dimethyl ether (DME) was performed. On the basis of a detailed reaction mechanism involving 79 species and 351 reactions, the peak molar concentration and sensitivity analysis were conducted in a homogeneous reactor model. The reduced reaction mechanism involving 44 species and 166 reactions at the threshold value $7.5{\times}10^{-5}$ of the molar peak concentration was established by comparing the ignition delays the reduced mechanism with those the detailed mechanism. The predicted results of the reduced mechanism applied to the single-zone homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine model were in agreement with those of the detailed mechanism. Therefore, this reduced mechanism can be used to accurately simulate the ignition and combustion process of compression ignition engine using DME fuel.

In this study, we have carried out test to examine the ignition characteristics, such as a relation of moisture content and combustibility, and ignition temperature using KRS-RG-9000 tester, of significant part of above trees which are representative species of Young Dong Province of Korea. After rainfall, the percentage of moisture content of living leaves and branches was between 52 and 70%. But it was just between 17 and 33% after 144 hours drying at normal temperature. For dead leaves, it was 10% lower than of first. There was a significant difference on ignition characteristics. The hazard of ignition is highest on dead leaves. The ignition temperature of barks and branches is higher so a retard time is long than of living and dead leaves at normal temperature.

17 kinds of fire resistant paint which are currently used were painted on the MDF(middle density fiber board), which suitable to the regulation of Fire Service Act. And we investigate a ignition delay effect under a exposure condition of radiative heat of fire. Radiative heat flux was controlled from $10kW/m^2$ to $30kW/m^2$ using the cone heater. Ignition time, ignition type and surface temperature of the sample were measured. Based on the experimental result, critical heat flux of the fire resistant paint treated sample was $10kW/m^2$ and there were no ignition delay effect above the $30kW/m^2$. And it was found that it will be difficult to expect the fire resistant effect above $400^{\circ}C$ of sample surface temperature.

A new light pink spray-mum, 'Noble ND' was bred by crossing 'Mona Lisa', a white anemone type flower, and 'Dark Weldon', a pink anemone type flower in October, 2004. The growth and flowering characteristics were investigated in forcing, natural, and retarding cultures from 2006 to 2007. The 'Noble ND' was a medium-flowering fall-mum with light pink anemone type flower and had 9.2 flowers per stem, with 4.8 cm flower diameter in natural culture. The number of days to flowering and flowers per plant was 57 and 7.4, respectively, in forcing culture of 'Noble ND', whereas the number of days to flowering was 48 in retarding culture.
