  • Because ships are very isolated and independent objects when sailing on the ocean, if a fire and smoke occurs, nobody can be sure to escape safely from ship at the moment. On the focus of the relationship between the sight transmissivity by fire smoke density and the life safety, this study performs simulations and experiments, respectively. To evaluate the theoretical evacuation time, CFAST software which is known as a 2 zone model analysis tool is used, and the result is 54 seconds from ECR(Engine Control Room) exit to upper deck exit and 34 seconds from bosun store to upper deck exit. And totally 12 types of experiments are performed with other 10 persons per experiment. As the result, it is cleared that the low sight transmissivity leads to the low life safety and the obstruction which can be happen unexpectedly on the evacuation way on fire makes it worse. At the condition of the smoke density 0%, over 90% people arrive at upper deck exit safely. But with the transmissivity of 8%, 70%(from ECR) and 30%(from bosun store) among experiment persons of each can survive, and with same density and unexpected obstruction, the survival ratio goes down to only 20% and 10%.

  • Recently, forced ventilating air conditioning system has been widely used in modern buildings. However, It is obvious that this kind of system may affect on the response of fire detectors at real fire incidents, especially, on the ionization smoke detector, which is critically influenced by air stream. Therefore we studied to verify the response characteristics of air stream by ionization smoke detector for the design of facilities in practice. In this study, experiments were executed to examine the correlation between air velocity and the ionization detector's responses with var-ious air velocity and smoke densities in the simulated test room. As a result of experiments, ionization detector's operating time is in reverse proportion to air velocity. And the detector shows more sensitive reaction when the velocity of smoke stream increase over 60 cm/s. In addition, it was shown that ionization smoke detector is more sensitive to smoldering fires in paper than that in petro-chemicals.

  • The mechanical properties such as 0.2% and 1% offset proof strength and elastic modulus are essential for a structural steel structure when the structure would be evaluated and designed to identify the performance of the structural stability exposed to fire condition. To obtain the mechanical properties for the structural steels at high temperature which are consisted of ordinary and marine ones, the tensile tests at various high temperatures had been conducted with two kinds of specimen of general structural steel SS 400 and welded steel SM 490 at the range of room temperature to $900^{\circ}C$ at interval of $100^{\circ}C$.

  • In foreign country such as USA and Japan, considerable research has been done regarding the spread of smoke in room of fire involvement by using computer. but, in our country it has not been, so, this paper presents a detailed qualitative description of phenomena which occure during typical fire scenarios through numberical analysis. The governing equations are solved by using FVM method with non-staggered grid. The SIMPLE method for pressure-velocity couple and power-law scheme for convention terms are used. It shows that a plume is formed, hot plume gases impinge on the ceiling and they spread across it. then, it eventually reaches the bounding walls of the enclosure. It takes 20s for smoke to fill the enclosure.

  • In this study, fire simulations on the under-ventilated compartment fires have been conducted using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS Ver. 5.2) and its prediction performance on the thermal and combustion chemical characteristics has been discussed. The temperature and chemical species concentrations in the upper layer of methane, heptane, and toluene fires located in a 2/5 scale compartment based on the ISO-9705 standard room are predicted and compared with the previously published experimental data. The results showed that the FDS simulations reproduced well the temperature of the ceiling and the mixture fraction in the upper layer under the well-ventilation conditions. For the under-ventilated fires, which were taken place due to the insufficient oxygen entrainment, the prediction by the FDS significantly under-estimated the production of carbon monoxide and soot compared to the experimental data.

  • In this study, 2-zone model CFAST software was used to predict the fire hazard of karaoke. Model is a three-dimensional unsteady state. Accuracy of CFAST is verified by comparing result of CFAST analysis with result of real fire experiment. For analysis results, the oxygen concentration were reduced to 10% within 5 minutes in room 5, the carbon dioxide concentration were increased to 5%. Therefore, at the enclosed space like karaoke, we can predict that dangerous situation would occur and people be suffocated because of toxic gas.

  • The Han Zeong Mag was the typical hydro-therapy of Korea. It looks like hot air bath of western physical therapy. It developed out of the CHO-SEON, King SE JONG(1422). It is warmed fire of pine wood in the room. At first, it runs a temperature about a few hundred and drop to $80^{\circ}C$ through 12 hours then the room air is exceeding dry. After 12h. reheated in the room. Women makes use of that place with bare body. Because for use salt rub of skin. They have low back pain, pain of muscle, muscle spasm, swelling of arthritis, stiffness of joint and it takes effect on the cosmetic of skin. The treatment effect was excellent to pain(28%), next arthritis(25%). But they have not order for treatment of a doctor. It's dangers of heat stroke and heart disease.

  • This paper is a purpose to study the failure examples for a large bus vehicle fire. The first example, the researcher certified the fact that the absorbing material break away from the upper side of engine room because of weaken durability and the fire was produced in engine. The second example, it sought the fact that the fire breaks out by electric short because of over-load of compressor. The third example, it found the fact that the fire took place by heating of bellows upper part that was connected with muffler and exhaust manifold. The fourth example, it knew the fact that the fire occurred because of the electric short inside junction box of crash body part that was located to driver seat rightside. Therefore, the fire of a large bus occurring by decrepit of absorbing material and electric short have to thoroughgoingly manage the damage and dangerousness if it happens.
