Paper Title
Transient Heat Transfer Analysis of Bulkhead Penetration Piece for A-Class Compartment of Ship and Offshore Plant
Abstract
In order to protect people's lives in the event of a fire and to prevent large-scale damage accidents, Classification
Societies have strengthened the relevant design rules to prevent flames from being transmitted from the firing point to other
compartments. In compartments where fire protection is important, such as A-class compartments, the air tightness and fire
protection design of members that pass through bulkheads and decks are strictly regulated by the International Maritime
Organization's (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS).In order to verify the suitability of the fire protection design
for such penetration members, the fire test prescribed by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) must be performed, but
numerical analyses are need to be carried out to minimize the time and cost required for the test. In this study, the transient heat
transfer numerical analysis based on the finite element method was applied to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the
bulkhead penetration piece for the A-class compartments. The transient heat transfer analyses were carried out according to the
MSC fire test procedure, and the heat transfer characteristics of the bulkhead penetration pieces of various materials were
reviewed.
