External fire spread has the potential to breach vertical compartmentation and violate the fire safety strategy of a building. The traditional design solution to this has been the use of non-combustible materials and spandrel panels but recent audits show that combustible materials are widespread and included in highly complex systems. Furthermore, most jurisdictions no longer require detailing of spandrel panels under many different circumstances. These buildings require rapid investigation using rational scientific methods to be able to adequately classify the fire risk. In this work, we use an extensive experimental campaign of material-scale data to explore the critical parameters driving upward flame spread. Two criteria are outlined using two different approaches. The first evaluates the time to ignition and the time to burnout to assess the ability for a fire to spread, and can be easily determined using traditional means. The second evaluates the preheated flame length as the critical parameter driving flame spread. A wide range of cladding materials are ranked according to these criteria to show their potential propensity to flame spread. From this, designers can use conservative approaches to perform fire risk assessments for buildings with combustible materials or can be used to aid decision-making. Precise estimates of flame spread rates within complex façade systems are not achievable with the current level of knowledge and will require a substantial amount of work to make progress.

The flame speed may be decomposed into the burning speed and the flame transport speed. The flame transport speed is affected considerably by the flow direction, variation rate of flow direction, and flow speed in the combustion chamber. Especially, the flow direction and the variation rate of flow direction at the spark plug location during the ignition period have an important effect on the ignition process and the early flame propagation process. We measured the flow direction component and the variation rate of flow direction with a hot wire probe at the spark plug location. It was shown that the representative flow direction of ignition period is the right-vertical direction of crank shaft and it was used to investigate the variation rate of flow direction.

We investigated a uniform temperature zone, produced by double flame structure of a coflow CH4/air partially premixed flame, to be used as a temperature calibration source for laser diagnostics. A broadband N2 CARS(coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy) system with a modeless laser was used for temperature measurement. When the stoichiometric ratio was 1.5, we found the uniform temperature zone in radial direction of the flame of which the averaged temperature was 2110 K with standard deviation 24 K. In the stoichiometric ratio range between 2.0 and 2.5, we found very stable temperature-varying zones in vertical direction at the center of the flame. The size of the zone was approximately 15 mm and it covered a temperature range from 300 K to 1900 K. We also suggest that this zone can be used as a calibration source for 2-D PLIF(planar laser induced flurescence) temperature measurement.

난연성분인 트리브로모아세트산의 함량을 10, 20, 30wt%로 변화시키면서 1,4-부탄디올, 아디프산 및 트리메틸올프로판과 축합중합을 하여 트리브로모 변성폴리에스테르(TBAO)를 합성한 후에, TBAO류와 이소시아네이트를 블렌드하여 2성분계 폴리우레탄(PU) 난연도료를 제조하였다. 제조된 난연도료의 도막물성을 측정한 결과, 결코 비난연도료보다 물성이 저하되지는 않았다. 또한 난연도료의 난연성 시험결과, 수직법에서 트리브로모아세트산 20 wt%에서 불꽃에 타지 않아서 양호한 난연도료임을 알 수 있었다.

The occurrence of fires under transmission lines is responsible for a great number of power line outages. In this paper, the ac flashover voltages and the corona onset voltages of a model transmission line in the presence of flame were investigated. We found that the corona onset voltages and the flashover voltages were varied with the position of flames. Flashover voltages of vertical arranged electrodes with flame appeared to decrease 43[%] lower than those of same conditions with no flame.

With the increase of apartments and expansion of balcony areas, fire safety issues are becoming more important. Many researchers have conducted a lot of researches to reduce vertical flame spread in the balcony when an apartment unit is in fire. However, there have rarely been studies to use balcony area as a space for fire escape and evacuation. The study aims to examine the conditions of balcony use in apartments in order to find out prevention elements from fire escape and evacuation, and to investigate residents' satisfaction with balcony. For this study, questionnaires were collected from apartment residents and workers of architectural planning and construction companies. The findings show as follows: first, the balcony is generally used as a storage in each apartment unit nowadays. Second, when fire breaks out, many storage items could disturb residents' safe escape by blocking escape route, and easily promote to spread flame vertically in the balcony.

To investigate statistics of flamelet in a turbulent premixed flame and to obtain components of their burning velocities in a vertical plane above a pipe-flow burner, the local motion of flamelets with respect to gas are measured by specially arranged diagnostics, composed of an electrostatic probe with four identical sensors and a two-color four-beam LDV system. With this technique, the three-dimensional local flame-front-velocity vector is measured by the electrostatic probe for the first time, and simultaneously the axial and radial components of the local gas-velocity vector in a vertical plane above the vertically oriented burner are measured by the LDV system. Two components of burning velocities of planar flamelets can be obtained from these results and are found to be distributed over different directions and to range in magnitude from nearly zero to a few times the planar, unstrained adiabatic laminar burning velocity measured in the unburnt gas. It may be concluded from these results that turbulence exerts measurable influences on flamelets and causes at least some of them to exhibit increased burning velocity.

후류처리 장치는 기본적으로 화염유도로의 역할을 하며 추가적인 기능에 따라 소음/배기가스 처리 장치, 고공 모사 장치 등으로 분류될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 화염 및 충격파로 부터의 발사체 보호, 제트펌프, 유해배기 가스 저감 등 후류처리 장치에 적용되는 원리를 제시하였다. 물 분사에 의한 소음감소는 마하파를 약화시키며 물의 증발 및 응축을 통해 제트의 에너지를 줄이는 원리를 이용함을 보였다. 또한 후류처리 장치에 적용되는 원리의 고찰을 통하여 수직형 후류처리 장치의 개념을 제시하였다.

정상초음파장의 주파수 변이가 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 전파거동 및 구조변이에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 당량비 조건에서 슐리렌 기법을 적용한 전파화염 가시화와 연소실 내부압력 측정을 통해 생성물 영역에서의 화염 구조변화 및 전파특성을 관찰하였다. 정상초음파가 존재할 경우 화염선단이 찌그러지고 기연부에서 횡방향 줄무늬가 생성되며, 이러한 구조변이는 정상초음파의 주파수에 종속한다. 또, 전파속도는 정상초음파가 교반하는 경우 증가되며, 화염전파 거동에 미치는 초음파의 영향은 주파수의 증가에 따라 보다 명확해진다는 사실도 확인되었다.
