High-manganese austenitic steel has been developed as a new cryogenic for application in liquified natural gas (LNG) storage and fuel tanks, with improved fracture toughness safety at temperatures. Generally, the decreases lower temperatures; therefore, requires high to prevent unstable fractures. This study conducted ductile tests 30-mm-thick high-manganese evaluated its applicability LNG tank...

This study estimates the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the production of Marcellus shale natural gas and compares its emissions with national average US natural gas emissions produced in the year 2008, prior to any significant Marcellus shale development. We estimate that the development and completion of a typical Marcellus shale well results in roughly 5500 t of carbon dioxid...

Development of safe electrolytes that are compatible with both lithium metal anodes and high-voltage cathodes can operate in a wide-temperature range is formidable, yet important challenge. Recently, new class based on liquefied gas solvents has shown promise addressing this issue. Concerns, however, have been raised the pressure, flammability low maximum operating temperature these systems. He...
