Mathematical Analysis on Topological Community Properties of the Liquefied Natural Gas Seaport Networks

Liquefied Natural Gas Developments Specialreport

A multi-tube, spirally-wound, cryogenic heat exchanger, the main heat exchanger (MHE) is the principal piece of heat-transfer equipment in mixed-refrigerant liquefaction cycles for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). An MHE unit operation model called the spirally-wound tube-bundle module was developed as an integral component of the dynamic simulation capabilities for a process modeling pac...

Liquefied Natural Gas for Trucks and Buses

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a heavy vehicle fuel. The reason for developing LNG is to reduce our dependency on imported oil by eliminating technical and costs barriers associated with its usage. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program, currently in its third year, to develop and advance costeffective technologies for operating and refueling natural gas–fueled hea...

Feasibility Study of Liquefied Natural Gas Project for the "South-Pars" Gas Field of Iran

Predictive Control of Gas Injection in Natural Gas Transport Networks

The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

Calculation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Burning Rates

A set of small-sized experiments were carried out at Texas A&M University's Brayton Fire Training Field (BFTF) to determine the radiative heat transfer of LNG pool fires. This set of experiments was designed to study how the heat feedback from the fire to the pool surface is subsequently distributed through the liquid volume. Burning rates of LNG pool fires are driven mainly by radiative heat t...
