Unidentified self-ignitions were reported when the high-pressure hydrogen gas suddenly leaked out. This paper presents a flow visualization study to investigate the self-ignition mechanism in a test tube how the ignition process is initiated and the flame propagates with measurement of a number of pressure and light sensors installed in the tube supported the analysis of the self-ignition. The test result showed the location of the self-ignition taken place and critical static pressure at the boundary layer for self-ignition.

The U metal chips generated in developing nuclear fuel and a gamma radioisotope shield have been stored under immersion of water in KAERI. When the water of the storing vessels vaporizes or drains due to unexpected leaking, the U metal chips are able to open to air. A new oxidation treatment process was raised for a long time safe storage with concepts of drying under vacuum, evaporating the containing water and organic material with elevating temperature, and oxidizing the uranium metal chips at an appropriate high temperature under conditions of controlling the feeding rate of oxygen gas. In order to optimize the oxidation process the uranium metal chips were completely dried at higher temperature than $300^{\circ}C$ and tested for oxidation at various temperatures, which are $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, and $500^{\circ}C$. When the oxidation temperature was $400^{\circ}C$, the oxidized sample for 7 hours showed a temperature rise of $60^{\circ}C$ in the self-ignition test. But the oxidized sample for 14 hours revealed a slight temperature rise of $7^{\circ}C$ representing a stable behavior in the self-ignition test. When the temperature was $500^{\circ}C$, the shorter oxidation for 7 hours appeared to be enough because the self-ignition test represented no temperature rise. By using several chemical analyses such as carbon content determination, X-ray deflection (XRD), Infrared spectra (IR) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) on the oxidation treated samples, the results of self-ignition test of new oxidation treatment process for U metal chip were interpreted and supported.

A cylindrical-shape, horizontal furnace was used to investigate the effect of particle size on the pulverized coal combustion behavior. Three differently-sized fractions (5, 30, and 44 microns in average diameter) of high-volatile bituminous coal, were burned in the test furnace. Ignition characteristics of pulverized coal flame were determined through the amount of methane in the carrier gas for the self-sustaining flame. Easiest ignition occurred with the immediately-sized coal particles. Ignition of coal jet flame appeared to occur through a gas-phase homogeneous process for particles larger than 30 microns. Below this limiting size, heterogeneous process probably dominated ignition of coal flame. Oxygen concentration of combustion air was varied up to 50%, to determine the oxygen-enrichment effect on the coal ignition behavior. Oxygen enrichment of primary air assisted ignition behavior of pulverized coal flame. However, enrichment of secondary air didn't produce any effect on the ignition behavior.

본 연구에서는 담뱃불에 의한 낙엽 착화 특성에 대해 실험과 수치 해석을 이용하여 담뱃불로 인한 산불 발생 위험성에 대해 구명하고자 한다. 실험 방법은 P. densiflora와 Q. variabilis 2종의 낙엽에 대해 수분함유량, 풍속, 바람방향 대비 담뱃불 위치, 낙엽에서의 담뱃불 위치, 담배 굵기, 낙엽의 부서짐 정도, 경사조건 등 총 2,304 조건에 대해 5회 반복실험을 실시하였다. 낙엽의 온도변화는 전산수치해석을 통해 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 전체 2,304 조건의 실험에서 약 8.6%인 197조건에서 발화가 되었고 각 조건별 5회 반복실험에서 모두 발화된 최적조건은 전체의 약 0.6%인 13조건으로 조사되었다. 담뱃불로 인해 100% 발화가 가능한 최적 조건은 수분함유량 15% 미만, 부서진 낙엽상태, 풍속 2.0m/s 이상, 담뱃불이 낙엽에 덮여 있는 조건이 일치할 경우인 것으로 분석되었다. 열전달 수치해석을 이용한 Q. variabilis 낙엽의 온도변화를 분석한 결과, 담뱃불 부근의 낙엽 바닥면에서 약 $307^{\circ}C$(Max. $317^{\circ}C$) 이상 온도가 지속 되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 Q. variabilis의 자연발화 및 착화온도가 각각 $307^{\circ}C$, $305^{\circ}C$인 것에 비추어 담뱃불로 인한 발화가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 강원도 영동지역 주요 7가지 수종의 낙엽과 생엽을 대상으로 착화특성을 고찰하고자 강우 전과 후의 연료를 채취하여 연료의 함수율과 가연성과의 관계, KRS-RG-9000을 사용하여 착화특성을 고찰하였다. 시험결과 침엽수 낙엽은 강우 후 대기노출로부터 상온에서 144시간 경과 시 함수율이 10% 이하로 건조되어 가연성 물질이 발생할 수 있을 정도로 건조됨을 알 수 있었으며 활엽수는 자연발화온도가 높게 나타남에 따라 저온에서 착화지연시간이 길게 나타나 침엽수보다 내화력이 강함을 알 수 있었다.

This papers describes on the experimental consideration for the intrinsically-safe explosion-proof capability of rechargeable battery's body about main item rechargeable battery and cellular phone battery which is selling in domestic that IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) recommend the measurement of ignition limit by short circuit of rechargeable battery and temperature increase test to use a explosion grade Group IIC type of explosion-proof type apparatus test an object of hydrogen gas. Because of that there are many different results for existence or nonexistence for ignition by different company and different types. It is concluded that the maximum of self temperature increasing by spark circuit of rechargeable battery is $180^{\circ}C$ in case of Nickel-Hydrogen and $110^{\circ}C$ in case of Nickel-Cadmium. The reaction of cellular battery for external temperature have following processes. It is confirmed that the temperature of reaction is rise slantly as the ambient temperature rising, then exterior shape of one is swell up and change when the temperature of ambient reach to about $130\~140^{\circ}C$, and when reach to about $160^{\circ}C$ the battery is blown up. Therefore, it is considered that have to be in considering selection of rechargeable battery using in itself due to different ignition limits of various rechargeable battery when the portable electric containing rechargeable battery are designed, produced and used, the characteristics and the proper safety factors of devices.

본 연구에서는 최근 빈번히 발생하고 있는 폐타이어의 가공 및 저장상황에서의 산화열에 의한 자연발화현상을 규명하기 위해 폐타이어 분쇄물에 대한 화재 재연실험과 가공 및 저장장소에서 수거한 화재 잔존물에 대한 면밀한 성분 분석 및 발화개시온도, 무게감량, 반응열 등을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 열축적이 용이한 폐타이어 분쇄물 2.5~15 mm 범위의 파쇄된 분쇄물을 대상으로 재연실험 및 DSC 및 TGA, DTA, DTG, GC/MS를 통한 열분석을 시행하여 자연발화의 가능성에 대한 과학적인 개연성을 부여하고자 하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 재연실험을 통하여 관찰한 결과 48시간 저장시에 온도의 급상승($178^{\circ}C$) 및 탄화현상, 연기발생이 관찰되었다. 또한 DTA, DTG 분석한 결과 $166.15^{\circ}C$에서 최초 중량감소가 일어나는 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 DSC 및 TGA를 이용한 폐타이어 분쇄물 1(Unburnt)의 실험결과 $180^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 열분해를 시작하는 것으로 나타나 폐타이어의 발화 개시온도는 $160{\sim}180^{\circ}C$라고 말할 수 있다. 그리고 $305^{\circ}C$에서 최초 원료 무게의 10 % 중량감소가 있었고, 원료 무게의 50 % 중량감소는 $416^{\circ}C$로 분석되었다. 또한 GC/MS와 DSC를 이용한 산화성 및 자기반응성시험에 있어서는 1,3 cyclopentnadiene 등 산화성성분이 다량 검출되었지만 표준물질과 폐타이어 분쇄물과의 열분석실험결과 기준치 이하로 분석되어 자기반응성은 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 폐타이어의 산화열에 의한 자연발화현상을 방지하기 위해서는 분쇄시 열축적이 적거나 없는 냉동파쇄방식 등의 가공공정으로 전환유도를 고려해야하며 현재 파쇄 분쇄물을 대형 마대(500 kg)로 저장하는 방식에서, 마대를 소형화하여 분쇄물을 분산 저장하는 등의 방법으로 열축적을 방지해야한다.

The danger of self-ignition of single base propellants will increase with time. Therefore, a good prediction of the safe storage time is very important. In order to determine the remaining shelf-life of the propellants, the content of stabilizer is determined. The propellants stored under normal storage conditions about 10 to 18 years were investigated and accelerated aging test was carried out by storing propellant sample at higher temperature. Finally, we analyzed the results by various methods in order to show the best way to predict the realistic shelf-life. The safe storage life of the propellants will be 24 years, at least 15 years. In case of applying Arrhenius's law, using the reaction rate constant at 28$^{\circ}C$ to 30$^{\circ}C$ to predict the shelf-life by accelerated aging test is reasonable for a good prediction.
