For the safe handling of n-undecane, the lower flash points and the upper flash point, fire point, AITs (auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. Also lower and upper explosion limits by using measured the lower and upper flash points for n-undecane were calculated. The lower flash points of n-undecane by using closed-cup tester were measured $59^{\circ}C$ and $67^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points of n-undecane by using open cup tester were measured $67^{\circ}C$ and $72^{\circ}C$, respectively. The fire point of n-undecane by using Cleveland open cup tester was measured $74^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 apparatus for n-undecane. The experimental AIT of n-undecane was $198^{\circ}C$. The estimated lower and upper explosion limit by using measured lower flash point $59^{\circ}C$ and upper flash point $83^{\circ}C$ for n-undecane were 0.65 Vol.% and 2.12 Vol.%.

For the safe handling of n-dodecane, the explosion limits were investigated and the lower flash points and AITs (autoignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of n-dodecanee recommended 0.6 Vol.% and 4.7 Vol.%, respectively. The lower flash points of n-dodecane by using closed-cup tester were experimented $77^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points of n-dodecane by using open cup tester were experimented $84^{\circ}C$ and $87^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for n-dodecane. The experimental AIT of n-dodecane was $222^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the production of proper emulsion fuel and the evaluation of its rheological stability in various experimental conditions were carried out. The W/O (water-in-oil) emulsion fuel was made using n-decane, pure water, and Span 80 was used as a surfactant. Increments of water volume ratio and fuel temperature were the factors, which boosted the phase separation of the emulsion fuel. Rheological characteristics for different water/oil volume ratio, temperature, and elapsed time after the fuel production were examined. As the water volume ratio in the fuel increased, the behavior of non-Newtonian fluid was observed. Viscosity declined as the fuel temperature increased due to the cohesion of water droplets in the fuel. The effect of elapsed time on viscosity was not severe for lower water ratio. However, gradual decrease of viscosity 3 hours after fuel production, in the case of ratio of 3:7, was clearly observed.

The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a material is the lowest temperature at which the material will spontaneously ignite. The AIT is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures. This study measured the AITs of n-decane+ethylbenzene system by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-decane and ethylbenzene which constituted binary system were $210^{\circ}C$ and $430^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-decane+ethylbenzene mixture were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with about $11^{\circ}C$ A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

It is very important for the collected samples at fire scenes to be properly preserved for laboratory analysis. Preserving abilities of four type containers, metal cans, glass jars, zipper and heat sealed polymer bags, with the five ignitable liquids (toluene, n-octane, o-xylene, n-decane and n-hexadecane) were examined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The glass jars with Teflon (PTFE) liner were the best ability to prevent the evaporation of the ignitable liquids.

The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a material is the lowest temperature at which the substance will spontaneously ignite in the absence of an external ignition source such as a spark or flame. The AIT may be used as combustion property to specify operating, storage, and materials handling procedures for processs safety. This study measured the AITs of n-Propanol+n-Decane system from ignition delay time(time lag) by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-Propanol and n-Decane which constituted binary system were $435^{\circ}C$ and $212^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-Propanol+n-Decane system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D(average absolute deviation).

For the safe handling of n-tridecane, the lower flash points and AITs(auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. Also lower explosion limits by the lower flash points were calculated. The lower flash points of n-tridecane by using closed-cup tester were experimented $92^{\circ}C$ and $96^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points and fire point of n-tridecane by using open cup tester were experimented 100 oC and 103 oC, respectively. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 apparatus for n-tridecane. The experimental AIT of n-tridecane was 223 oC. The calculated lower explosion limit by using measured lower flash point 92 oC for n-tridecane was 0.6 Vol.%.

Uranium (Ⅵ) was extracted from dilute aqueous solutions of uranyl nitrate with acetylacetone and tri-n-butyl phosphate in n-dodecane. Synergistic effect was observed with the mixed reagents above pH 1. The species extracted are the 1:2:1 and the 1:2:2 uranyl-AA-TBP complexes. The extraction constants for these reactions have been determined.

The purpose of this study is experimentally to analyze that the fuel mass fractions of multi-component mixed fuels have an effect on the characteristics of spray ignition and combustion under the ambient conditions of diesel combustion fields. The characteristics of ignition and combustion were investigated by chemiluminescence images and direct photography. The experiments were conducted in the RCEM(rapid compression expansion machine) with optical access. Multi-component fuels mixed with i-octane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane are injected in RCEM by the electronic control of common rail injector. Experimental conditions set up 42, 72 and 112 MPa in injection pressure, 700, 800 and 900 K in ambient gas temperature. The results show that the ignition delay was dependent on high cetane number. In case of low ambient temperature, the more low boiling point fuels were mixed, the lower luminance regime had a remarkable effect and also shortened diffusion combustion by increasing heat release rate.
