The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments. The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a multi-core cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, the characteristic of cable fire is investigated and the heat-flux evaluation for cable fire is studied. Moreover, a diagnostic methodology for degraded cable in nuclear power plants is presented.

The present study investigates the characteristics of fire-driven heat flows and gas concentration in a compartment fire by using the modified VHS model (MVHS). The main idea of this model is to add some source terms for combustion products and oxygen consumption to the original VHS model for providing more accurate and useful information on gas concentration distributions as well as thermal fields. It is found that the present MVHS model shows fairly good agreement with the experimental data and the eddy breakup combustion model. The tilting angle of fire plume calculated by MVHS is larger than that of EBU model because the fire source of VHS is affected by ventilating flow less than EBU. However, this discrepancy is apparently reduced in the downstream region of fire source.

The incandescent lamp is an electric light fixture with a tungsten filament heated to a high temperature, by passing an electric current through it, until it glows with visible light. The hot filament is protected from oxidation with a glass bulb that is filled with inert gas. The incandescent lamp has fire risk when combustible materials are close to its glass bulb. Because its lamp has the property which converts 90~95 percents of the electric power to heat energy. 2015 national fire statistics show that fires caused by lighting fixtures were 652 cases, and incandescent lamps(44 cases) and halogen lamps(53 cases) accounted for 15 percents in those of high heating light fixtures. Since incandescent lamp fires account for about 45 percents in the high heating light fixture, we could not overlook the fire risks by the incandescent lamp. Although many studies related with those have been conducted, incandescent lamp fires are continuously occurred. This study was carried out to study the fire risk of ignition of wood due to radiant heat of incandescent lamp. Radiant heat flux of the incandescent lamp was predicted by applying point source model, and critical distance for ignition of wood was calculated by applying integral model. The results from this study could applied to fire prevention activities related to light bulb, and it could be used in fire cause investigations related to radiant heat of incandescent lamp.

In this work the dynamic heat transfer occurring in a cable penetration fire stop system built in the firewall of nuclear power plants is three-dimensionally investigated to develop a test-simulator that can be used to verify effectiveness of the sealants. The dynamic heat transfer can be described by a partial differential equation (PDE) and its initial and boundary conditions. For the shake of simplicity PDE is divided into two parts; one corresponding to the heat transfer in the axial direction and the other corresponding to the heat transfer on the vertical layers. Two numerical methods, SOR (Sequential Over-Relaxation) and FEM (Finite Element Method), are implemented to solve these equations respectively. The axial line is discretized, and SOR is applied. Similarly, all the layers are separated into finite elements, where the time and spatial functions are assumed to be of orthogonal collocation state at each element. The heat fluxes on the layers are calculated by FEM. It is shown that the penetration cable influences the temperature distribution of the fire stop system very significantly. The simulation results are shown in the three-dimensional graphics for the understanding of the transient temperature distribution in the fire stop system.

Objective : Fire and heat related symptoms and signs are considered common in acute stage of diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the occurrences and changes of fire and heat related symptoms and signs in acute cerebral infarction patients. Method & subjects : 40 acute cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in Oriental medicine hospital, Kyung-Hee University, who had examined and diagnosed 2 or 3 times based on oriental medical diagnosis were selected. We chose 23 as fire and heat related symptoms and signs from 94 diagnostic articles, and we added all those scores together of each patient. We analysed the scores of fire and heat related symptoms and signs as the time passed, and depending on oriental medical diagnosis. Result : In acute cerebral infarction patients of this study, 4 of fire and heat related symptoms and signs were took 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th places in most changeable 10 articles of total 94 articles. The mean score of fire and heat related symptoms and signs of all patients were decreased significantly over the 3 times of measurements. The 8 patients diagnosed as fire and heat diagnosis at visit1 were samely diagnosed as fire and heat diagnosis at visit2, and at visit3 5 patients of them except for 3 patients excluded between visit2 and visit3, were still diagnosed as fire and heat diagnosis. At all of 3 measuring times, the scores of fire and heat related symptoms and signs of fire and heat diagnosis group were higher than non-fire and heat diagnosis group. Conclusion : This study indicated that fire and heat related symptoms and signs were very changeable phenomenon in acute cerebral infarction patients. And they decreased as time goes on.

ISO 9705 룸코너 시험을 통해 복합소재 고체 가연물의 화재발생시 발생되는 열방출률을 측정하고 화재성장율을 계산하여 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)에서 제공하는 열방출률 예측 모델을 사용자가 시험을 통해 얻어진 질량 소모율을 직접 입력하고 점화원에 의해 가연물의 표면 온도가 점화 온도에 도달하게 되면 정해진 연료를 소모하게 됨으로써 열방출률이 계산되는 단순 모델 (Simple model)과 질량 소모율을 직접 계산하는 방식으로 고체 가연물의 온도를 계산하고 고체 가연물의 열분해율을 조절하여 직접 열방출률을 계산하는 열분해 모델 (Pyrolysis model)로 구분하고 각각의 열방출률 모델에 필요한 입력 인자를 적용하여 동일한 조건에서 밀폐된 구획 환경에 따라 FDS 전산 해석을 수행하였다. 복합소재 고체 가연물로는 PU 폼과 PP, 철재로 대부분 구성되어있는 영화관 의자를 선정하였다. 동일한 조건에서 밀폐된 구획 환경에 따라 각각의 열방출률 예측 모델을 해석한 결과, 밀폐된 구획에서 단순 모델을 통해 예측된 열방출률과 화재성장율이 열분해 모델을 이용하는 경우에 비해 다소 과예측되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 최근 국내 도심지 대심도 지하교통터널 계획과 함께 중요성이 대두되고 있는 터널내 화재 안전 설계에 가장 기본적인 설계 요소인 자동차의 열방출률을 제시하고자 실물화재실험을 실시하였다. 산소소모율법을 적용한 라지스케일칼로리미터를 이용하여 승합차의 열방출률을 측정하였으며, 또한 두 대의 승용차를 인접시켜 터널 정체시 화재 전파 특성을 파악 하였다. 그 결과 승합차의 최대 열방출률은 5.9 MW를 나타내었으며, 일산화탄소는 최대 482 ppm이 방출되었다. 두 대의 승용차의 화재 전파 특성 실험의 경우 화재 발생 후 약 3분 30초 경과부터 인접 승용차에 화재 전파가 시작되어, 15분 경과 후에는 완전한 화재로 발달하였다. 최대 발열량은 9 MW를 나타내었다. 이러한 실물화재실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 수치해석시 중요한 입력 자료로 이용됨과 동시에 터널의 방재설비 설계에 유용하게 적용 될 수 있을 것이다.
