Abstract

To examine the characteristics of the explosion of city gas, the concentration of oxygen was changed with the change of initial pressure. From the result of the experiment, as the concentration of oxygen was low, the explosion limit became narrow and the minimum concentration of oxygen for the explosion was $12\%$. Furthermore, As the increase of the initial pressure, explosion ranges were a little increased. And as the change of the initial pressure, the maximum explosion pressure were $6.3 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g,\;12.7 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g$ and the maximum pressure rising velocity were $245.63 kgf/cm^2/s,\;427.88 kgf/cm^2/s$.

도시가스의 폭발특성을 평가하기 위하여, 산소의 농도와 초기압력의 변화에 따라 실험을 행하였다 이러한 실험을 행한 결과 산소농도가 낮아짐에 따라 폭발범위는 점차적으로 좁혀졌으며, 산소농도 $12\%$에서 폭발한계산소농도를 구하였다. 도시가스의 초기압력이 증가함에 따라 폭발하한계가 약간 증가하였다. 또한 초기압력이 $0{\~}1.0 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g$로 변함에 따라 최대폭발압력은 $6.3 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g,\;12.7 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g$을 구하였으며, 최대폭발압력상승속도는 $245.63 kgf/cm^2/s,\;427.88 kgf/cm^2/s$를 구하였다.
