2013-06-03It is important for the sustainable development of economy to exploit new energy. The utilization of lowgradeheat source is confined for its lower utilizing efficiency. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) at 110 K hasplenty of physical cold exergy besides its high quality chemical energy. A power cycle w..

2013-06-03Large spills of refined petroleum products have been an occasional occurrence over the past few decades. This has not been true for large spills of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This paper compares the likely similarities and differences between accidental releases from a ship of sizable quantitie..

2013-06-03The prediction of the possible hazards associated with the storage and transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship has motivated a substantial number of experimental and analytical studies. This paper reviews the experimental and analytical work performed to date on largescale spills of..

2013-06-03 Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a transportation fuel for heavy vehicles such as trucks and transit buses, tolessen the dependency on oil and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The LNG stations are properly designed to prevent the venting of natural gas (NG) from LNG tanks, ..

2013-06-03The cylindrical coal samples were subjected to three successive cycles of sorption–desorption processes of a single gas (CO2, CH4). Acoustic emission (AE) and strains were simultaneously recorded during the sorption and desorption processes. Tests were conducted on medium-rank coal from the Upp..

2013-06-03A mathematical model for predicting the low temperature exergy, pressure exergy and total cold heatexergy of Lique®ed Natural Gas (LNG) is developed in this paper. In the model, the liquid mixturedensities are calculated by a shape factor Corresponding State method, Vapor-Liquid-Equilibrium d..

2013-06-03An analysis of cryogenic liquefaction and storage methods for in-situ produced propellants (oxygen and methane) on Mars ispresented. The application is to a subscale precursor sample return mission, intended to demonstrate critical cryogenic technologies prior to a human mission. A heat transfer ..

2013-06-03The purpose of the present work is to investigate the possibilityof recovering acetone, ethyl acetate and ethanol from a nitrogen stream, using a thermal pressure swing adsorption (TPSA) process with activated carbon as an adsorbent. A mathematical model, considering nonisothermal, nonadiabatic a..

2013-06-03Optimisation techniques are used for the design of novel forced-periodic reactors in which there is the integration of catalyticreaction, adsorptive separation and direct #uid to solid heat exchange within a single unit operation. For such con"gurations,dynamic operation is utilised to gener..
