When flammable gases are mixed with air or oxygen in the explosion concentration range and are ignited by sufficiently large electrostatic discharge energy, they may explode causing severe disaster in workplace. The minimum ignition energy(MIE) of single gas-air mixtures has been already investigated by many research, but the MIE of mixtures of more than ternary gas mixture is not examined yet. The purpose of this study is to investigate the MIE of a ternary gas(methane, ethylene, hydrogen, propane) mixtures experimentally. The results of our experiment show that the ignition of a methane-ethylene-air, methane-hydrogen-air, methane-propane-air, ethylene-hydrogen-air, ethylene-propane-air and hydrogen-propane-air mixture due to electrostatic discharge energy primarily depends on that the mixture: the MIE decreases gradually with the increase of having the lower MIE than other mixture ratio in the normal atmospheric pressure.

본 연구에서는 분진의 착화 특성 및 정전기 위험성 평가법을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 착화에너지 시험은 PE(HD), PE(LD), PMMA 분진에 대해 MIKE-3장치를 사용하여 실시하였다. PE (HD)의 경우 약 8 ms의 일정 시간 경과 후에 분진운의 착화 화염이 형성되고, 착화원 중심부에서는 화염 핵이 관찰되지 않았다. 분진의 분산 횟수가 증가함에 따라 정전압이 증가하고 분진 농도에 따른 정전압 발생 증가율은 PMMA, PE(LD), PE (HD) 순으로 가장 높았다. PE(HD) 분진의 분산 조건이 정전압에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 분산 횟수가 많아질수록 정전압이 증가하였고 동일한 분산 횟수에서는 분진 농도가 높아질수록 정전압이 증가하였다. 정전기 착화에 의한 화재폭발사고 예방을 위한 안전 정전압은 PE(HD), PE(LD)-1, PE(LD)-2, PMMA에 있어서 각각 2.58, 44.72, 25.82, 8.16 kV로 추정되었다. 정전압 측정자료를 사용하여 정전기 착화 위험성을 효율적으로 조사하여 최소착화에너지를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다.

This study investigates the main factors of fire prevention, such as spontaneous ignition and flash point, while using Diehylene Glycol (DEG) as the antifreeze for automobile and industrial machines. Our results show the flash point of $142^{\circ}C$ and the minimum ignition temperature of $388^{\circ}C$ in the range of $130{\mu}{\ell}{\sim}150{\mu}{\ell}$. By increasing temperature to ignite in 1 second, an instantaneous ignition temperature of the sample is $569^{\circ}C$ in the sample amount of $140{\mu}{\ell}$.

The ignition quality of ignition system is influenced by spark energy, discharge pattern of spark energy and spark duration. In this paper, the characteristics of multiple spark ignition system have been investigated for various number of spark and spark interval. The results, which were compared with those obtained with a standard single spark ignition, show that engine output is increased, and lean misfire limit is extended with the multiple spark ignition system. The most effective number of spark at the most effective spark interval that are determined by engine performance test, were 6 times spark at 0.02ms spark interval. For the above condition of spark, engine torque was increased about 20% comparing with conventional ignition system and lean misfire limit was extended to air-fuel ratio 22.5:1. This study researched the rate of heat release and quantity of heat release influenced by a condition of spark on the mass burned in order to investigate the relationship between the rate of mass burned and number of spark times.

우드펠릿은 화력발전소 및 화목 보일러의 연료로 많이 사용되고 있으나 발열량이 높은 우드펠릿을 장기간 보관 시 자연발화의 위험성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 시료 용기의 크기에 따라 유량의 변화에 따른 최소자연발화온도와 발화한계온도를 구하였으며, 발화한계온도를 이용하여 겉보기 활성화 에너지를 측정함으로써 우드펠릿의 발화 특성을 예측하였다. 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 190.224 kJ/mol을 구하였다. 용기에 저장된 시료량이 두꺼워질수록 시료 표면에서 중심까지의 열전달이 어려워 발화유도시간이 긴 것으로 나타났으며, 용기의 크기가 같을 경우 유량의 양이 많아 질수록 자연발화온도는 낮아졌다. 또한 시료용기가 커질수록 자연발화온도는 낮아지고 발화유도시간은 길어지는 것으로 나타났다.

Minimum ignition energies of hydrogen/air and methane/air mixtures have been investigated numerically by solving unsteady one-dimensional conservation equations with detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms. Initial kernel size needed for numerical calculation is a sensitive function of initial pressure of a mixture and should be estimated properly to obtain quantitative agreement with experimental results. A simple macroscopic model to determine minimum ignition energy has been proposed, where the initial kernel size is correlated with the quenching distance of a mixture and evaluated from the quenching distance determined from experiment. The simulation predicts minimum ignition energies of two sample mixtures successfully which are in a good agreement with the experimental data for the ranges of pressure and equivalence ratio.

The effect of turbulence and ignition energy on flame kernel growth in mathanol-air mixtures has been studied in a constant volume vessel. Experiments were made under different turbulent intensity conditions, ignition energy and over a range of equivalence ratio. Characteristics of turbulent flow were grasped by measurments of gas pressure and visualization of flame propagation. Flow velocity was measured by use of hot wire anemometer. A comparison of the effect of turbulence on ignition probability and flame kernel volume variation ratio is also presented.

열량과 열발화이론의 개념을 근거로 최소발화에너지의 온도의폰성에 대한 이론적 고찰을 시도하였 다. 이 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 통계학적 및 수학적 방법을 기초로 하여 용도 변화에 의한 최소발화에 너지를 예측하는 식을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론에 의해 탄화수소인 프로판과 노말펜탄 에 적용한 결과 제시한 예측식과 문헌값이 거의 일치함을 알 수 있다.

The behavior of backdraft in the compartment with different ignition locations and times was numerically investigated. The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) v5.5.3 with a model-free simulation option was used in the numerical simulation of backdraft. The ignition source was located near the inside wall, at the compartment center and near the window opening, respectively. The ignition was started at the instance when the fresh air reached the ignition location or when a sufficient time passed compare to the instance of the arriving of the fresh air to the ignition location. As a result, for the ignition source was located near the inside wall, a strong fire ball was observed at once and the result was similar to the previous experimental result. For the ignition source was located at the center of the compartment, a strong fire ball was occurred and two strong fire balls were observed consecutively for the ignition time was delayed. For the ignition source was located near the window opening and longer time was given for the ignition compare the duration of the fresh air arriving to the ignition location, the rapid temperature variation was not observed because there was no flame. However, for the ignition was started at the instance when the fresh air reached the ignition location, the ignition could be initiated and a intensive fire ball was observed. The pressure measured at the upper inside part of the window opening provided a similar trend with the previous experimental result of compartment backdraft.

자연발화 특성은 가연성물질의 취급 및 화재예방을 위한 중요한 인자이다. 본 연구는 ASTM D2155식 발화온도 측정장치를 사용하여 Ethylene Glycol (EG)과 Diethylene Glycol (DEG)의 자연발화 특성 및 활성화에너지를 고찰하였다. 최소자연발화온도의 경우 EG는 시료량 $75{\sim}160{\mu}{\ell}$의 범위에서 $434^{\circ}C$를 구하였고 DEG는 시료량 $130{\sim}150{\mu}{\ell}$의 범위에서 $387^{\circ}C$를 측정 하였다. 또한 시료량 $140{\mu}{\ell}$에서 순간발화온도를 측정한 결과 EG는 $579^{\circ}C$, DEG는 $569^{\circ}C$를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 측정된 발화온도와 발화지연시간의 측정값을 Semenov 방정식으로부터 최소자승법에 의하여 활성화 에너지를 구한 결과 EG는 25.41 Kcal/mol, DEG는 14.07 Kcal/mol을 구하였으며 DEG의 최소자연발화온도, 순간발화온도 및 활성화에너지가 EG보다 낮아 자연발화의 위험성이 더 높다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
