Preliminary note The paper presents an analysis of annual variations of temperature and the corresponding saturation pressure of saturated liquid propane in a mounded cylindrical tank used for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage. A mathematical model has been established based on a finite volume method. Boundary and initial conditions have been assumed for the Croatian climate. Simulations ha...

Bangladesh is a middle-income country. With the development of industrial and agricultural sectors, demand for petroleum-based fuels in transport sector has been steadily growing. Diesel, petrol, octane (C8H18), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural are mainly used as transportation sectors Bangladesh. The government imports LPG well refined, crude, furnace oil from abroad to meet coun...

Background Jet fires and boiling liquid expanding vapour explosions (BLEVEs) are potential events when a vessel containing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is exposed to fire. Events involving domestic LPG tanks have occurred at wildland–urban interface areas in Portugal, the USA, Spain Greece. Aims Evaluation of pressure relief device (PRD), type cylinder effects jet BLEVEs. Methods cylinders man...

Ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured using an online system, gas chromatography– mass spectrometry/flame ionization detector (GC-MS/FID), in Beijing, China, before, during, and after Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) China 2014, when stringent air quality control measures were implemented. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was applied to identify the major VOC contri...

Receptor-oriented source apportionment models are often used to identify sources of ambient air pollutants and to estimate source contributions to air pollutant concentrations. In this study, a PCA/APCS model was applied to the data on non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) measured from January to December 2001 at two sampling sites: Tsuen Wan (TW) and Central & Western (CW) Toxic Air Pollutants Mon...

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) merupakan sumber daya alam yang dimanfaakan oleh manusia khususnya dari kilang minyak dan gas memiliki komponen propane, butane dikemas dalam tabung. Faktor penyebab terjadinya kebakaran yaitu kebocoran pada tabung LPG atau pipa terkena api menyebar luas menyebabkan kebakaran. Sebuah sistem digunakan untuk memonitoring adanya dengan menggunakan sensor MQ-2. Dengan ...

Abstract We explore the relationship between Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Petroleum (LPG) carrier freight rates global geopolitical risk, while also controlling for macro environment. Our results show that a shock in risk significantly increases cost of spot charter both LNG LPG carriers, with impact reaching around 25% former 18% latter. bear significant implications companies countries inv...

Biogas derived from organic wastes is considered as good alternative to petroleum fuels. It can be used in compression ignition (CI) engines, because of its better mixing ability with air and clean burning nature. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of various organic substances such as kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, cow dung etc., in absence of oxygen, which...
