A liquid rocket engine(LRE) Using LO$_2$/LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) propellants was experimentally evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of the LO$_2$/LNG rocket combustor that is composed of three sect ions(igniter spacer, cylinder and nozzle section), especially focused on the influence of regenerative cool ing effect in association with the phase of regenerative coolant Series of tests were conducted under the conditions of water cool ing and regenerative cool ing with LNG in the cylinder section and independent cool ing with water in the igniter spacer and nozzle sections. Parametric studies on the variation of a chamber pressure and mixture ratio were undertaken. In addition, effect of propellant(LNG) composition and its enthalpy on the performance is examined.

천연가스는 지구상에서 비교적 광범위하게 생산되며 구미 등에서는 대부분 pipe line으로 소비지까지 운송하여 사용하고 있지만 일본 등에서는 액화 천연가스 (LNG)로 저장, 수송하여 사용하고 있다. LNG 저장탱크는 생산측의 액화기지와 사용측 의 수입기지에 설치되며 지금까지 약 240기가 건설되어 있다. 종래 탱크 1기의 용량 은 대부분 6 - 8만m$^{3}$ 규모였지만, 토지의 유효이용 등으로 대형화되고 있으며, 또 지상식에서는 PC(Prestressed Concrete)의 방파제를 외부탱크에 근접시켜 외부탱크 와 일체화시킨 PC LNG 탱크가 개발.설계되었다. 일본에서는 이미 이 방식으로 세계 최대규모인 14만m$^{3}$ 탱크가 건조되어 가동 중이다. LNG의 주성분은 메탄이고 비등점은 -161.5.deg.C로 극저온이다. 이러한 저온에서도 취화되지 않고 사용할 수 있는 재료는 9%Ni강, Al 합금, 스테인레스강 및 Invar 등이 있지만, 탱크의 대형화에 따라 가공성, 용접성 및 경제성을 고려하여 요즈음은 9%Ni강이 주로 사용되고 있다. 한편 9%Ni강용 용접재료는 고Ni계 합금 및 모재와 동일한 성분계의 공금계가 있지만 지금까지 고 Ni계 합급이 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 내용에서는 9%Ni강을 사용한 지상식 평지원통형 LNG 탱크를 예로 들어 탱크의 개요 및 용접재료, 용접시공 등을 포함한 용접기술에 대해서 개괄적으로 설명하고자 한다.

LNG Vaporizers must be smaller, more efficient, and easier to operate and maintain. Recently, the vaporizers with greatly enhanced performance as compared to conventional type, have been developed to fulfill these requirements. The vaporizing characteristic of LNG vaporizer with air as heat source has fixed ice. These characteristic has efficient down and total plant cost and installing space can be increase. On that reasons must be optimize through tube and pipes analysis and experiments with enhanced type in this study. In this study performance to the workong characteristics for air heating type vaporizer for super low temperature liquefied gas.

In this work, a study for the reduction of the electric power consumption has been estimated in main air compressors in the air separation unit through cryogenic distillation columns with PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 at AVEVA company. Both required LNG mass flow rate and cold heat contained in 1 ton of LNG were also predicted using Peng-Robinson equation of state with Twu's new alpha function. Through this work, we concluded that 32.33-48.69% of electric power could be saved by using LNG cold heat.

In this study, computer simulation and optimization works have been performed for a refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant and also how much power was saved when the liquefied natural gas cold heat is replaced for the refrigeration cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider electric company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model was selected for the modeling of the refrigeration cycle and LNG cold heat utilization process.

To reduce the particulate matter and nitrogen oxides from diesel engine, many studies are proceeding and being accomplished practically. In this situation, LNG engine has important meaning as a clean fuel and alternative energy. In this reason, we try to understand the property of LNG fuel and predict the performance with using LNG engine simulation program and practical test. It could help to lead and apply practically LNG engine was studied in performance and other parameter related with engine performance and compared with current diesel engine. The simulation program was proved to be good in describing the experimental result. This means current heavy duty vehicle could be modified to LNG engine.

This study addresses the phenomena of bubbling, icing, eruption, component varieties of the evaporated natural gas, and volumetric heat transfer coefficients obtained during the operation of a proposed LNG evaporator between LNG and water in direct contact. In the present investigation, the explosive and eruption phenomena within the water column were not observed during the entire operation of the heat exchanger. Compared with the natural gas produced by conventional LNG evaporator, the analysis of the gas produced by the direct contact LNG evaporator shows that nitrogen, methane, and ethane components were reduced by 0.002~0.007mol%(4~14%), 1.6~1.92mol%(1.9~2.3%) and 0.17~1.28mol%(1.1~8.4%) respectively, while the moisture content was rather increased by 0.51~0.76mol%. The maximum volumetric heat transfer coefficient of the direct contact heat exchanger was found to be $21, 800kW/m^3\cdotK$.

The new concept for liquefaction of natural gas has been designed and simulated in this paper. Conventional liquefaction cycles are usually composed with Joule-Thomson valves at lower temperature refrigerant cycle. The new concept of natural gas liquefaction is discussed. The main difference with conventional liquefaction process is the presence of the turbine at low temperature of MR (mixed refrigerant) cycle. The turbine acts as expander but also as an energy generator. This generated energy is provided to the compressor which consumes energy to pressurize refrigerants. The composition of the mixed refrigerant is investigated in this study. Components of the refrigerant are methane, propane and nitrogen. Composition for new process is traced with Aspen HYSYS software. LNG heat exchangers are analyzed for the new process. Heating and cooling curves in heat exchangers were also analyzed.

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage expansion process using LNG cold heat have been performed for a closed Rankine power generation cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider Electric Company was used, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the power generation cycle using LNG cold heat. In two-stage power generation cycle, 6.7% more power was obtained compared to that of single-stage power generation cycle through the optimization works.

In this paper, cold heat price contained in the 1 ton/h of LNG has been evaluated using PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from Aveva company when LNG is used to liquefy several refrigerants instead of using vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. Normal butane, R134a, NH3, R22, propane and propylene refrigerants were selected for the modeling of refrigeration cycle. It was concluded that LNG cold heat price was inversely proportional to the refrigerant supply temperature, even though LNG supply flow rate is not varied according to the refrigerant supply temperature.
