This thesis is about the study of inverter terminal boxes in a explosion proof type exhaust fan that can control wind volume and operating time. In Korea, there is no ventilator to adjust the amount of wind and operating time when working in poor conditions. The purpose of the project is to create a explosion terminal box that can control the operating time and wind speed of a suitable explosion ventilator in hazardous environments. The two explosion-proof switches allow the operation time to be driven 1 hour, 3 hours and continuous time, and the speed of the induction motor rotation was set in 3 stages at 2000 rpm, 2600 rpm and 3000 rpm to control the volume. The tested motor used a half-horsepower barrier three-phase induction motor and a full-bridge inverter to set the desired flow rate and operating time.

Fuel cells are low-carbon power sources that can expand distributed energy system and electric vehicle charging infrastructure when installing fuel cells in gas stations. In order to ensure safety for fuel cells in gas stations, quantitative risk assessments were conducted after deriving accident scenarios based on accident data of domestic and foreign gas stations and fuel cells. It calculates the expected extent of damage from fire and explosion that can occur in reality, not the worst accident scenario, and analyzes the damage impact. The separation distance of more than 9.0 m from a dispenser, 15.5 m from a car under refueling, 4.1 m from the ventilation pipe, 1.1 m from the gas adjustment device prevent the severe damage caused by the expected accident. This study result can be used to deploy fuel cells in gas stations and establish safety measures.

This study started with the background that future South Korean military organizations should develop a complex system linking unmanned systems by analyzing and considering cases using "drone," which has recently become an essential means of war. In 2014 and 2022, South Korea is facing serious security threats from North Korean drones that have recently invaded South Korea's airspace in a row. If a North Korean drone was loaded with explosives and poisonous gas and invaded our airspace, the damage would be more serious. Furthermore, what the Azerbaijan-Armenian War of 2020 and the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war have in common is that battles using "combat drones" are underway. Watching this shift in the domestic and overseas war paradigm, drones have become essential for military operations. In the context of a "ceasefire" and the military environment on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea should actively develop "Combat drones" that take into account precise strikes and portability against targets linked to military drones.

Due to the characteristics of ship structure, the compartment structure is complicated and narrow, so safety accidents frequently occur during the work process. The main causes of accidents include structural collisions, falling objects, toxic substance leaks, fires, explosions, asphyxiation, and more. Understanding the on-site conditions of workers during accidents is crucial for mitigating damages. In order to ensure safety, the on-site situation is monitored using CCTV in the ship, but it is difficult to prevent accidents with the existing method. To address this issue, a smart safety helmet equipped with location identification and voice/video communication capabilities is being developed as a safety technology. Additionally, the smart safety helmet incorporates environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, vibration, noise, tilt (gyro sensor), and gas detection within the work area. These sensors can notify workers wearing the smart safety helmet of hazardous situations. By utilizing the smart safety helmet and environmental sensors, the safety of workers aboard ships can be enhanced.

폴리머 박막은 그 고유한 특성으로 인해 여러 산업적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 재료이다 예로 의약품이나 식품 포장지의 배리어, 전자부품의 절연체, 반도체 공정에서의 사용, 혹은 부식방지를 위해 사용 되어지기도 한다. 이 폴리머 박막을 증착 하기 위한 방법으로 이전부터 CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법이 많이 사용되었고 지금까지도 가장 많이 사용되는 방법이다. CVD를 사용하여 $SiO_2$-like 필름의 증착은 전구체(precursor)로 Silane ($SiH_4$)을 사용하였으며, 플라즈마 발생 소스(source)로 열 혹은 전기장 등을 사용 하며 공정 시 압력 또한 대부분 저압 하에서 실시 하였다. 이와 같은 이전 CVD 방법의 문제는 사용되는 Silane 자체가 인체에 해로울 정도로 독성이 있으며 폭발성도 같이 가지고 있어 작업환경의 위험성이 높으며 열을 사용한 CVD의 경우 높은 공정 온도로 인해 증착 할 수 있는 대상이 제한 되어 지며 높은 열의 발생을 위해 많은 에너지의 소비가 필요하다. 저압 플라즈마를 사용한 CVD 는 공정상 높은 열의 발생이 일어나지 않아 기판 운용상 문제가 되지 않지만 저압 환경에서 해당 공정이 이루어기 때문에 인해 필수적으로 고가의 진공 챔버가 필수적이며 저압을 유지할 고가의 진공 펌프나 추가 장비들이 필요하게 된다, 또한 챔버 내에서 이루어지는 공정으로 인해 공정의 연속성이 떨어져 시잔비용 또한 많이 잡아 먹는다. 이러한 열 혹은 저압 플라즈마등을 사용한 공정의 단점을 해결하기 위해 여러 연구자들이 다양한 방법을 통해 연구를 하였다. 대기압 유전체 배리어 방전(AP-DBD: Atmospheric Pressure-Dielectric Barrier Discharge)을 사용한 폴리머 박막의 증착은 이전 전통적인 방법에 비해 낮은 장비 가격과 낮은 공정 온도 그리고 연속적인 공정 등의 장점이 있는 폴리머 박막 증착 방법 이다. 대기압 유전체 배리어 방전 공정 변수로 공급 전압 및 주파수 그리고 공급 전압의 영향, 전구체를 유전체 배리어 방전 전극으로 이동 시키기 위해 사용된 캐리어 가스의 종류 및 유량, 화학양론적 계수를 맞추기 위해 같이 포함되는 산소 가스의 유량, DBD 전극의 형태에 따른 증착 박막의 균일성 등 이 존재하며 이런 많은 변수 들에 대한 연구가 진행 되었지만 아직 이 대기압 DBD를 이용한 폴리머 박막의 증착에 대한 명확한 이해는 아직 완전 하다 할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 대기압 DBD를 이용하여 폴리머 박막의 증착시 영향을 미치는 많은 공정 변수 등이 박막생성에 미치는 영향과 증착된 박막의 성질에 대한 연구를 진행 하였다.

Continual monitoring of abnormal operating conditions i a key issue in maintaining high product quality and safe operation, since the undetected process abnormality may lead to the undesirable operations, finally producing low quality products, or breakdown of equipment. The statistical projection method recently highlighted has the advantage of easily building reference model with the historical measurement data in the statistically in-control state and not requiring any detailed mathematical model or knowledge-base of process. As the complexity of process increases, however, we have more measurement variables and recycle streams. This situation may not only result in the frequent occurrence of process Perturbation, but make it difficult to pinpoint trouble-making causes or at most assignable source unit due to the confusing candidates. Consequently, an ad hoc skill to monitor and diagnose in plat-wide scale is needed. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical plant-wide monitoring methodology based on hierarchical decomposition and principal component analysis for handling the complexity and interactions among process units. This have the effect of preventing special events in a specific sub-block from propagating to other sub-blocks or at least delaying the transfer of undesired state, and so make it possible to quickly detect and diagnose the process malfunctions. To prove the performance of the proposed methodology, we simulate the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process which is operated continuously with 41 measurement variables of five major units. Simulation results have shown that the proposed methodology offers a fast and reliable monitoring and diagnosis for a large scale chemical plant.

Torrefaction is a thermochemical process proceeded at the temperature around $250^{\circ}C$ in an inert gas condition. By torrefaction, the hemicellulose portions contained in biomass are broken down to change into the volatile gas which is removed from biomass eventually. The main purpose of biomass torrefaction is to improve the energy density of the biomass to minimize the transport energy consumption, though the flammability can be elevated for transportation. In this study two types of solid biomass fuel, waste wood and rice straw, were torrefied at various temperature range from $200^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the torrefied biomass characteristics. In addition torrefied biomass were tested to evaluate the combustion characteristics using TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis). After the torrefaction of biomass, the C/H (carbon to hydrogen ratio) and C/O (carbon to oxygen ratio) were measured for aquisition of bio-stability as well as combustion pattern. Generally C/H ratio implies the soot formation during combustion, and the C/O ratio for bio-stability. By torrefaction temperature at $300^{\circ}C$, C/H ratio and C/O ratio were increased by two times for C/H and three times for C/O. The torrefied biomass showed similar TGA pattern to coal compared to pure biomass; that is, less mass decrease at lower temperature range for torrefied biomass than the pure biomass.

The present article relates to an experimental study on fire risks due to overcharge and external heat of ESS lithium battery. According to the experimental results of overcharge, ignition occurred as combustible gas and smoke was slowly increased after occurrence of venting, and an explosive combustion form accompanied by flame eruption and sparks was displayed as charged energy is rapidly discharged in an instant. On the other hand, according to the experimental results of external heat, as a tremendous amount of combustible gas and smoke was ignited following being discharged after occurrence of vent, the charged energy itself was rapidly reduced due to the discharged energy so that a passive combustion form was observed when compared with overcharge after occurrence of flames. According the analysis results of fire damage characteristics, differences between external heat (External flame) could be found through visual and X-ray inspections. Namely, while inside electrode plate was completely destroyed and perforation of the electrode plate was observed in the case of overcharge, fire damage of the electrode plate was not severe maintaining the form in the case of external heat.

This study was conducted to analyze thermal effects for the structure of portable butane gas stoves in accordance with the introduction of safety standard to protect gas accidents that were caused by using oversized grills. The temperatures of oversized grill, cartridge and cover of cartridge coupling part were measured with stoves that heat sink was installed the inside of cover of cartridge coupling part and had different height of tripods. The trend of measured temperatures affected by thermal effects of grill and flame was analyzed. The condition of using portable butane gas stove safely is that the distance between grill and cover of cartridge coupling part should be about 28 mm and over. In contrast, when the distance between grill and cover of cartridge coupling part would be shorter, thermal effects of not only grill but also flame could affect the cartridge directly. In this case, the danger that could cause gas accident would be higher. When heat sink was installed the inside of cover of cartridge coupling part, it was effective on reducing of thermal effects. However, it still had the danger of explosive gas accident of cartridge due to overheating.
