A study on combustion characteristics using emulsified fuel in a diesel engine were performed experimentally. In this paper, the experiments were performed at engine speed 1800rpm, emulsion ratios were 0%, 10%, 20%, and main measured items were specific fuel consumption, cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, rate of heat release etc. The obtained conclusions were as follows. 1) Specific fuel consumption increased maximum by 19.8% at low load, but was not affected at full load. 2) Rate of pressure rise and rate of heat release were about the same in the case of 10% and 20% of emulsion ratio. 3) Cylinder Pressure increased 9.6%, rate of pressure rise increased 53.4% in case of emulsion ratio 20% at full load. 4) Rate of heat release increased 72.4% in case of emulsion ratio 20% at full load.

This study was performed to evaluate the burning characteristics of wood-based materials and the effect of surface treatment of fire retardant using cone calorimeter. Four types of wood-based materials, such as Plywood, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Particle Board (PB) and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), were tested at a constant heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ to investigate the time to ignition, mass loss rate, heat release rate, effective heat of combustion, etc. In addition, each type of wood-based material was tested at the same heat flux after fire retardant treatment on the surface to evaluate the effect of this treatment on the burning characteristics. The surface treatment of fire retardant, by the amount of $110g/m^2$, delayed the time to ignition almost twice. However, it was indicated that heat release rate, mass loss rate, and effective heat of combustion were not significantly affected by fire retardants treatment for all types of wood-based materials.

Design criterion for the size of micro Pt-catalytic combustor is investigated in terms of heat release rate. One-dimensional plug flow model is applied to determine the surface reaction constants using the experimental data at stoichiometric butane-air mixture. With these reaction constants, the mass fraction of butane and heat release rate predicted by the plug flow model are in good agreement with the experimental data at the combustor exit. The relationship between the size of micro catalytic combustor and mixture flowrate is introduced in the form of product of two terms-the effect of fuel conversion efficiency, and the effect of chemical reaction rate and mass transfer rate.

본 연구에서는 EPS 샌드위치 패널 심재에 대한 일정한 외부 복사열에 의한 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하였다. 일정한 외부 복사열원에 노출된 EPS 샌드위치 패널 심재의 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하기 위해 3가지 Type의 시료를 사용하였으며, 연소열을 측정하기 위해 Oxygen bomb calorimeter를 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하기 위해 Mass loss calorimeter를 사용하였다. 질량감소속도와 열방출 특성을 분석하기 위해 $100mm{\times}100mm{\times}50mm$ 크기의 시료를 사용하였다. 연구결과 50 kW/$m^2$의 외부복사열원에서 평균질량감소속도는 Type A와 B의 경우 각각 2.7 g/$m^2s$, 2.8 g/$m^2s$로 비슷한 경향을 나타낸 반면, Type C는 2.3 g/$m^2s$로 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 평균열방출속도는 Type B와 C의 경우 각각 47.19 kW/$m^2$, 50.06 kW/$m^2$으로 큰 차이가 없었으나, Type A는 58.23 kW/$m^2$으로 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 열방출특성의 결과를 캐나다 분류체계에 적용할 경우 Type A와 C의 경우 C-3등급, Type B의 경우 C-2등급으로 분류되었다. 향후 콘칼로리미터법을 이용한 샌드위치 패널 심재에 대한 열방출율 특성과의 비교연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The rate of heat release is probably the single most important measure of fire hazard. Several tech-niques were developed for the measurement of rate of heat release, but were not suitable for fire test-ing purpose. Recently the application of oxygen consumption principle made it possible to development of well-characterized heat release rate measurement apparatus, the furniture calorimeter for large-scale fire tests and the cone calorimeter for bench-scale fire tests. The cone calorimeter can be used to determine the ignitability as well as heat release rate and smoke development, mass loss rate, combustion gas production etc. from burning materials. Thus, test method using cone calorimeter, an internationally recognized and accepted for the evalua-tion of fire properties, is a very promising tool for combustion study on various kind of materials and products.

본 연구에서는 Setchkin 착화성시험장치와 산소소비원리를 이용한 콘칼로리미터를 사용하여 난연처리되지 않은 경질우레탄폼의 착화특성 및 열방출특성 및 플래쉬오버 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. 연구결과 경질폴리우레탄폼의 유도발화온도(FIT)는 $383^{\circ}C$∼$390^{\circ}C$, 자연발화온도(SIT)는 $493^{\circ}C$∼$495^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며 자연발화온도가 유도발화온도에 비해 약 $100^{\circ}C$ 높게 나타났다. 콘칼로리미터실험에서는 착화시간은 heat flux의 크기가 증가할수록 빨라졌으며 동일한 heat flux 크기에서는 밀도가 작을수록 착화시간은 짧게 나타났다. 열방출율은 $50 ㎾\m^2$에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, 최대열방출율의 경우 heat flux의 크기와 밀도가 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 착화시간과 열방출율의 관점에서 경질폴리우레탄폼의 화재성능은 가해진 heat flux의 크기와 밀도에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, Petrella의 제안방법에 의해 플래쉬오버 가능성을 분류한 결과 플래쉬오버 가능성이 큰 것으로 분류되었다.

Research to discuss the fire performance of materials requires tools for measuring their burning characteristics and validated fire growth models to predict fire behavior of the materials under specific tire scenarios using the measured properties as input for the models. In this study, burning characteristics such as time to ignition, weight loss rate, flame spread, heat release rate, total heat evolved, and effective heat of combustion for four types of wood-based materials were evaluated using the cone calorimeter and inclined panel tests. Time to ignition was affected by not only surface condition and specific gravity of the tested materials but also the type and magnitude of heat source. Results of weight loss rate, measured by inclined panel tests, indicated that heat transfer from the contacted flame used as the heat source into the inner part of the specimen was inversely proportional to specific gravity of material. Flame spread was closely related with ignition time at the near part of burning zone. Under constant and severe external heat flux, there was little difference in weight loss rate and total heat evolved between four types of wood-based panels. More applied heat flux caused by longer ignition time induced a higher first peak value of heat release rate. Burning characteristics data measured in this study can be used effectively as input for fire growth models to predict the fire behavior of materials under specific fire scenarios.

The initial flame kernel development and flame propagation in a constant volume combustion chamber is analyzed by the heat release rate and the mass fraction burnt. The combustion pressure is measured with a piezoelectric type pressure sensor. In order to evaluate the effects of ignition system and ignition energy on the flame propagation, four different ignition systems are designed and tested, and the ignition energy is varied by the dwell time. Several different spark plugs are also tested and examined to analysis the effects of electrodes on flame kernel development. The results show that the when the dwell time is increased, and when the spark plug gap is extended, heat release rate and the mass burnt fraction are increased. The materials and shapes of electrodes affect the flame development, because they change the energy transfer efficiency from electrical energy to chemical energy. The diameter of electrodes influences not only the heat release rate but also the mass burnt fraction as well.
