An experimental study was carried out to analyse the explosion characteristics of flammable gas-air mixtures. Used flammable gases were hydrogen, methane, acethylene, ethylene and pro-pane, explosion Pressure, explosoin pressure rising rate, and flame propagation velocity were measured experimentaly. The maximum explosion pressure and rising rate of flammmalbe gas air mixtures were appeared at the range of slightly higher concentration than the stoichiometric concentration. Initial pressure before explosion was controlled from 0.6 to 2.0kg/cm absolutly. Explosion pressure was increased with increment of the initial pressure, and the relationship between initial pressure and explosion pressure was Pe = KPi. The effect of vessel size on explosion characteristics was also analysed In this experiment. Explosion pressure was increased with in-creasing the vessel size, otherwise explosion pressure rising rate was decreased. When we locate a dummy material in vessel explosion pressure was decreased with increasing the dummy volume but exlosion pressure rising rate was increased.

It was discussed about explosion danger of hydrogen gas experimentally that could be happen during the handling and using. Hydrogen concentration was varied from 10 to 60 vol% for get the explosion characteristics of hydrogen and 5 kinds of cylindrical vessel were used to find the explosion characteristics of hydrogen according to the vessel volume. Initial pressure of hydrogen-air mixture was varied from 0.6 to 2 kg/cm2. Based on the experiment, explosion pressure was most high near the 30vol% of hydrogen and explosion pressure was increased slightly according to the increase of vessel volume but explosion pressure rise rate was decreased. Explosion pressure was increased linearly proportional to the initial pressure of gas mixture.

In this study the explosion characteristics of terephtalic acid dust(PTA) was investigated with the Hartmann type apparatus. The minimum ignition energy, minimum explosible concentration, flame propagation velocity, explosion pressure, explosion pressure rise rate and the effect of inert dust(talcum) on explosion characteristics were measured. Flame velocity was 50m/s at 700g/m$^3$ concentration, and the explosion pressure and explosion pressure rise rate were most likely with that of gas explosion. It was found that an inert dust acts as a heat sinker and it disturbs the combustion of flammable dust, as a result, explosion pressure and explosion pressure rise rate were decreased and minimum explosion concentration was increased with increasing the fraction of talcum dust in PTA.

The explosion characteristics of nonhomogeneous LPG-Air mixtures was measured in a cylindrical vessel and a pipe. The maximum explosion pressure, the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise, and the flame propagation velocity were measured and compared with that of homogeneous explosion by changing the effective factors on the explosion of nonhomogeneous mixtures such as pressure difference, effusion time and delay time. Explosion was occured even in the lower concentration than the lean flammability limit of mixture. The maximum explosion pressure was increased with increase of LPG concentration, however, the maximum explosion pressure rise was not in the nonhomogeneous explosion. An d the flame propagation velocity was decreased with nonhomogeneity, however, the maximum explosion pressure was always above 0.7kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

수소는 온실가스 배출을 저감하기 위한 미래 에너지로 고려되고 있지만, 폭발위험에 대한 문제점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 수소가 미래 에너지로 사용되기 위해서는 폭발위험에 대한 연구가 충분히 이루어져야 한다. 폭발위험은 폭발충격에 대한 이해 즉, 폭발과정에서 압력 상승속도에 대한 분석과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 폭발에 영향을 미치는 변수, 즉 연소 전후의 비열비, 화학평형상태에서 최대폭발압력, 그리고 연소속도, 이들 변수가 압력 상승속도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 화학평형상태에서 최대폭발압력과 연소속도는 압력 상승곡선에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었고, 미연소 가스의 비열비는 초기압력 상승속도보다 최종압력 상승속도에 더욱 영향을 미치고, 연소가스의 비열비는 반대로 초기압력 상승속도에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 연소속도는 실험 데이터로부터 구하였으며 밀폐공간에서 수소가스 폭발에서는 폭연에서 폭굉으로 전이가 일어나기에는 연소속도가 매우 느림을 알 수 있었다.

Gas explosion accidents could cause a catastrophe. we need specialized and systematic accident investigation techniques to shed light on the cause and prevent similar accidents. In this study, we had performed LNG explosion simulation using AUTODYN which is the commercial explosion program and predicted the damage characteristics of the structures by LNG explosive power. In the first step, we could get LNG's physical and chemical explosion properties by calculation using TNT equivalency method. And then, by applying TNT equivalency value about the explosion limit concentration of LNG on the 2D-AUTODYN simulation, we could get the explosion pressure wave profiles (explosion pressure, explosion velocity, etc.). In the last step, we performed LNG explosion simulation by applying to the explosion pressure wave profiles as the input data on the 3D-AUTODYN simulation. As a result, we had performed analyzing of the explosion characteristics of LNG in accordance with concentration through the 3D-AUTODYN simulation in terms of the explosion pressure behavior and structure's destruction and damage behavior.

This study aims to find the safe vent area to prevent a destruction of building by gas explosion in a building. Explosion vessel which used in this experiment is 1/5 scale down model of simple livingroom and its dimension is 100cm in length 60cm in width and 45cm in height. Liquified petroleum gas(LPG) was injected to the vessel to the concentration of 4.5vol%, and injection rate were varied in 1L/min or 4L/min. Gas mixture was ignited by the 10kV electric spark. For analysis the characteristics of vented explosion pressure according to the vent size and vent shape, its size and shape were varied. From the experiment, it was found that explosion pressure in the vented explosion :in affected by the gas injection rate, vent area and vent shape. And the vent area to volume ratio(S/V) to prevent the building destruction by explosion pressure, it is recommended that the design of vent area happened by the explosion should be above 1/500cm in S/V. And if the vent area has complicate structure in same area, vented explosion pressure will be higher than a single vent, and possibility of building destruction will increase. Therefore to effectively vent the explosion pressure for protect a building and residents from the gas explosion hazards, the same vent area should have a singular and constant shape in the cross-sectional area of the vessel.

To evaluate characteristics of explosion hazard of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide, MCPVT was used for this study. In result maximum explosion pressure and maximum explosion pressure rising velocity of MEK-PO were $12.1kgf/cm^2\;and\;106.81kgf/cm^2/s$. As a result or adding metal powder to estimate hazard of explosion, the maximum explosion pressure and maximum explosion pressure rising velocity according to adding Fe powder in MEK-PO increased. In opposite, those decreased resulting in adding Ca powder in MEK-PO.

The destruction by accident is affected by the blast of explosion. However, there are few of research on the external effect of vented gas explosions. Therefore it is necessary to study the effect of vented explosion. This study aims to find the characteristics of gas explosion, and the effect of vented gas explosion. Using an explosion chamber, we obtained a LPG explosion characteristics according to the vent size and concentration. The result of experiment showed that the explosion pressure effect to external space was much stronger than inner space during the course of a gas explosion. And the external pressure become higher in explosion pressure as the vent diameter become smaller.
