This study was performed with Hartmann type dust explosion apparatus and Godbert-Greenwald furnace apparatus in order to research the effect of temperature and humidity affecting LEL, minimum ignition temperature of Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose. The experimental determinations in the range between $20^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$ of temperature was not affected $LEL(180g/m^3)$ but LEL showed $200g/m^3\;and\;250g/m^3\;at\;80^{|circ}C\;and\;100^{\circ}C$. As the change of humidity LEL was $180g/m^3\;for\;50\%,\;200g/m^3\;for\;60\%\;and\;250g/m^3\;for\;70\%$ but dust explosion didn't occur over $80\%$. The ignition temperature of HPMC dust clouds was increased as increasing of humidity. So, the minimum ignition temperatures at $50\%,\;60\%,\;70\%\;80\%$ of humidity was $363^{\circ}C,\;375^{\circ}C,\;397^{\circ}C,\;405^{\circ}C$.

In HCCI Engine, combustion is affected by change of compression speed corresponding to engine speed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of influence of engine speed on HCCI combustion characteristics by using numerical analysis. At first, the influence of engine speed was shown. And then, in order to clarify the mechanism of influence of engine speed, results of kinetics computations were analyzed to investigate the elementary reaction path for heat release at transient temperatures by using contribution matrix. In results, as engine speed increased, in-cylinder gas temperature and pressure at ignition start increased. And ignition start timing was retarded and combustion duration was lengthened on crank angle basis. On time basis, ignition start timing was advanced and combustion duration was shortened. High engine speed showed higher robustness to change of initial temperature than low engine speed. Because of its high robustness, selecting high engine speed was efficient for keeping stable operation in real engine which include variation of initial temperature by various factors. The variation of engine speed did not change the reaction path. But, as engine speed increased, the temperature that each elementary reaction would be active became high and reaction speed quicken. Rising the in-cylinder gas temperature of combustion start was caused by these gaps of temperature.

부유중인 분진의 화재 및 용기 또는 파이프의 미세한 균열에서 비산되는 가연성 액체의 분무화재의 위험성은 착화후의 고속 확산과 높은 열방출율로 인하여 매우 높은 것으로 알려졌다. 이에 대한 연구는 주로 실험적으로나 또는 거시적인 관점의 해석으로 제한되어 왔다. 본 연구는 미시적인 관점의 해석으로서 분진 및 분무를 가연성 미세 액적으로 가정하여 그의 증발과 착화에 대하여 연구하였다. 첫 단계로서 일열의 액적 배열을 계산영역으로 하여, 비정상 이차원 보존방정식들을 적용하였다. 수치해석은 일반화된 비직교 좌표계를 사용하였고, 화학반응은 Arrhenius의 법칙에 의하여 반응속도가 제어되는 일단계 반응을 고려하였다. 계산결과는 액적 주위의 온도와 반응물질의 농도분포를 시간에 따라 보여준다. 주위의 산소가 증발하는 액적의 연료와 섞이기 시작하고 착화 조건에 다다르면, 급격한 발열반응이 예혼합된 가스로부터 일어나기 시작한다. 최대온도 영역은 점차적으로 액적 표면으로 이동하며 최대온도는 착화이후 급격히 상승한다. 연료와 산소의 농도는 최대온도 영역 근처에서 최소값을 보인다. 따라서 착화순간에는 예혼합연소의 양상을 띠는 것으로 나타났다. 이후에는 예혼합 가스의 소멸로 확산연소의 양상을 띠게 된다. 액적간의 거리는 중요한 요소로서 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우부터 액적간의 거리가 가까워지면 착화지연 시간이 줄여들어 착화가 빨리 일어나는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 착화 후에는 최대온도 영역이 일열의 중심선으로부터 멀어지는 것으로 나타났는데 이것은 중심부근의 산소가 먼저 소모되고 외부로부터의 산소공급도 화염에 의해 차단되어 나타나는 현상이다. 이번 연구로 미세적인 착화현상에 대한 이해를 높이게 되었고 추후 복잡한 배열에 대한 연구도 가능할 것이다.

The ignition delay of a dual fuel system has been numerically investigated by adopting a constant volume chamber as a model problem simulating diesel engine relevant conditions. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, consisting of 28 species and 135 elementary reactions, of dimethyl ether (DME) with methane ($CH_{4}$) sub-mechanism has been used in conjunction with the multi-dimensional reactive flow KIVA-3V code to simulate the autoignition process. The start of ignition was defined as the moment when the maximum temperature in the combustion vessel reached to 1900 K with which a best agreement with existing experiment was achieved. Ignition delays of liquid DME injected into air at various high pressures and temperatures compared well with the existing experimental results in a combustion bomb. When a small quantity of liquid DME was injected into premixtures of $CH_{4}$/air, the ignition delay times of the dual fuel system are longer than that observed with DME only, especially at higher initial temperatures. The variation in the ignition delay between DME only and dual fuel case tend to be constant for lower initial temperatures. It was also found that the predicted values of the ignition delay in dual fuel operation are dependent on the concentration of the gaseous $CH_{4}$ in the chamber charge and less dependent on the injected mass of DME. Temperature and equivalence ratio contours of the combustion process showed that the ignition commonly starts in the boundary at which near stoichiometric mixtures could exists. Parametric studies are also conducted to show the effect of additive such as hydrogen peroxide in the ignition delay. Apart from accurate predictions of ignition delay, the coupling between multi-dimensional flow and multi-step chemistry is essential to reveal detailed features of the ignition process.

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.

Catalytic ignition of $H_2/O_2/CO_2$ mixtures over platinum catalyst is experimentally investigated by using microcalorimetry. For comparison, $N_2$ and Ar is also used as diluent gas. The gas mixture flows toward platinum foil heated by electric current at atmosphere pressure and ambient temperature. The ignition temperature range 350-445K according to the fuel ratio, dilution ratio and diluent gas. It increases as the fuel ratio and dilution ratio increase. $H_2/O_2$ mixture with $CO_2$ ignites at higher temperature than with other diluents by 30-50K. Several experimental evidences show the inhibition effects of $CO_2$ in $H_2-O_2$ heterogeneous reaction is considerable

Vegetable oil and its derivatives as an alternative diesel fuel have become more attractive recently because of its environmental benefits and the fact that they are made from renewable resources. Viscosity is the most significant property to affect the utilization of vegetable oil and its derivatives in the compression ignition engines. This paper presents the existing correlations for predicting the viscosity of vegetable oil and its derivatives for compression ignition engines. According to the parameter considered in the correlations, the empirical correlations can be divided into six groups: correlations as a function of temperature, of proportion, of composition, of temperature and composition, of temperature and proportion, and of fuel properties. Out of physical properties of fuel, there exist in the literature several parameters for giving the influence on kinematic viscosity such as density, specific gravity, the ratio of iodine value over the saponification value, higher heating value, flash point and pressure. The study for the verification of applicability of existing correlations to non-edible vegetable oil and its derivatives is required.

본 연구에서는 온도와 압력의 변화에 따른 석유계항공유(Jet A-1), 바이오항공유(Bio-6308) 그리고 두 항공유를 50:50 (v:v)으로 혼합한 연료의 점화특성의 변화에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. Combustion research unit (CRU) 장비를 사용하여 각 항공유의 점화지연시간을 측정하였으며, GC/MS 및 GC/FID를 사용하여 각 항공유를 구성하는 화합물에 대한 정성 및 정량적인 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 모든 연료의 경우에서 온도와 압력이 증가할수록 점화지연시간이 짧게 측정 되었으며, 특히 압력보다 온도의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 모든 측정 조건에서 Jet A-1의 점화지연시간이 가장 길게 측정되었는데 이는 Jet A-1을 약 22.48%의 비율로 구성하는 방향족화합물이 산화되는 과정에서 생성되는 benzyl radical이 구조적으로 매우 안정한 특성을 갖기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 benzyl radical은 negative temperature coefficient (NTC) 구간에 영향을 줄 수 있는 반응을 억제하여, Jet A-1의 경우에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 점화지연시간이 짧아지는 정도가 감소하는 구간이 없는 것을 확인하였다. Jet A-1과 Bio-6308을 50:50 (v:v)으로 혼합한 연료의 점화특성은 Bio-6308 보다는 Jet A-1과 비슷한 경향을 나타내는 것을 통해 기존의 시스템을 변경하지 않고서도 실제로 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.
