Recently the LNG(liquified natural gas) public buses have been introduced to prevent the air pollution in metropolitan areas. As the LNG temperature in fuel tank is as low as $-162^{\circ}C$. the thermal and structural effects of tank components need to be studied for safe introduction in the market. Especially the support system of LNG fuel tank in vehicle, which has connected with inside and outside of tanks, should put attention to reduce the structural stress due to cryogenic temperature and to restrict the heat flux from ambient. There are two supporting systems in the tank, that one is connected between inside and outside tanks by welding, and the other is the inserted support system which is a cylindrical SUS bar inserted in a hole of the supporting plate. In this study the temperature distribution and thermal stress of the inserted support system were evaluated by using the utility program as ANSYS. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer to inner tank through this support system was quite small due to limited contact of support bar with plate. but the thermal stress of support plate was obtained beyond the limited tensile value of SUS304. The cautious design for the support plate part, therefore, should be given to make the safe support system of LNG vehicle fuel tank.

추진제가 배출되는 동안 추진제탱크를 적정 압력으로 유지하기 위해 필요한 가압가스의 질유량 및 총소모량을 파악하는 것은 가압제어시스템의 설계 및 가압제 저장탱크의 무게를 산출하는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 특히 극저온 추진제탱크의 경우 얼리지 내부의 가압가스는 외부와의 열전달에 의해 비체적이 감소하므로 더욱 많은 추진제탱크의 압력을 유지하기 위해 더 많은 가압가스를 필요로 한다. 이에 추진제탱크 얼리지 해석을 위한 기본모델을 만들어 얼리지 내부와 탱크벽면의 온도분포, 가압가스 소모량, 얼리지 내부에서 유입된 가압가스의 에너지 분포를 예측하였다. 현재 시험을 통한 프로그램의 수정보완이 진행되었으나, 본 자료에서는 기본적인 해석모델의 설명에 중점을 두었다.

Recently, a new type of LNG membrane Tank called the "KC-1 membrane LNG Tank" was developed by KOGAS (Korean Gas Corporation). It is necessary to estimate the temperature distribution of the hull structure and insulation system for this new LNG tank, as well as the BOR (Boil-Off Rate) when exposed to outside temperature conditions to ensure the integrity of the tank structure and limit LNG evaporation, from a safety evaluation point of view. In this study, temperature distribution calculations for the hull structure and insulation system of the KC1 membrane tank were compared by employing four numerical approaches under the IGC condition. Approaches 1-3 studied 2D simulations and approach 4 used a 3D numerical simulation. Approach 1 was calculated by in-house Excel VBA codes and the three other approaches utilized ANSYS Fluent. The BOR of approach 4, the 3D simulation case, for the IGC condition was 0.0986%/day.

Corrugated membranes which are used as a means of liquid- and gas-sealing for a LNG storage tank and provide one of the most reliable primary barrier are the main component of in-ground membrane types for the assurance of high safety. It absorbs large thermal and mechanical deformations caused by ultra low temperature of LNG, -162 .deg.c, the cryogenic liquid and mechanical deformations caused by was carried out on crossing corrugation by commercial F.E code, ANSYS. This paper presents some of results in stress analysis of membranes performed for the purpose to investigate the strength of existing membrane for LNG storage tank designed by IHI,MHI, KHI and KGC expect for Technigaz eariy published. Based on these analytical studies,design criteria were estabilished and SHI original membranes having a high level of safety and fitting to larger capacities were developed.

Liquid natural gas is stored and transported inside cargo tank which is made of specially designed cryogenic materials such as 9% Ni steel, Al5083-O alloy and SUS304 and so on. The materials have to keep excellent ductile characteristics under the cryogenic environment, down to -163oC, in order to avoid the catastrophic sudden brittle fracture during the operation condition. High manganese steel is considered to be the promising alternative material that can replace the commonly used materials mentioned above owing to its cost effectiveness. In line with this industrial need, the mechanical properties of the high manganese steel under both room and cryogenic environment were investigated in this study focused on its tensile and fatigue behavior. In terms of the tensile strength, the ultimate tensile strength of the base material of the high manganese steel was comparable to the existing cryogenic materials, but it turned out to be undermatched one when welding is involved in. The fatigue strength of the high manganese steel under room temperature was as good as other cryogenic materials, but under cryogenic environment, slightly less than others though better than Al 5083-O alloy.

Since glass microsphere has high crush strength, low density and small particle size, it becomes alternative thermal insulation material for cryogenic systems, such as storage and transportation tank for cryogenic fluids. Although many experiments have been performed to verify the effective thermal conductivity of microsphere, prediction by calculation is still inaccurate due to the complicated geometries, including wide range of powder diameter distribution and different pore sizes. The accurate effective thermal conductivity model for microsphere is discussed in this paper. There are four mechanisms which contribute to the heat transfer of the evacuated powder: gaseous conduction ($k_g$), solid conduction ($k_s$), radiation ($k_r$) and thermal contact ($k_c$). Among these components, $k_g$ and $k_s$ were calculated by Zehner and Schlunder model (1970). Other component values for $k_c$ and $k_r$, which were obtained from experimental data under high vacuum conditions were added. In this research paper, the geometry of microsphere was simplified as a homogeneous solid sphere. The calculation results were compared with previous experimental data by R. Wawryk (1988), H. S. Kim (2010) and the experiment of this paper to show good agreement within error of 46%, 4.6% and 17 % for each result.

액체로켓 추진시스템에서 가압시스템은 발사체 추진제 탱크의 얼리지 공간에 제어된 가스를 공급하는 것이다. 가압시스템에서 고온 가스 열교환기를 적용하는 데는 가압제의 비용적을 증가시켜 전체 발사체 시스템의 중량을 감소시키는 장점이 있다. 가압시스템 성능에 있어서 주목할 만한 개선점은 극저온 시스템에서 얻어질 수 있다. 이러한 경우 가스 공급은 극저온 탱크 내부에 저장되어 진다. 극저온 가압제의 온도 특성은 가압시스템에서 구성 단품을 개발하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 SINDA/FLUINT를 이용한 수치적 모델링과 PTF(Propellant-feeding Test Facility)에서 수행된 실험에 대하여 해석 및 시험이 수행되었다.

The effects of immersion time in the liquid nitrogen on the behavior of aluminum alloys used for the hydrogen storage tank of auto-mobile at cryogenic temperature were investigated. With increasing immersion time in the liquid nitrogen, the elongation of AI 5083 alloy at cryogenic temperature decreased because of non-uniform fracture of precipitates on the grain boundary, and the serration also occurred because of discontinuous slip due to rapid decreasing of the specific heat. The mechanical properties of AI 6061 alloy at cryogenic temperature were characterized by uniformed yield strength, tensile strength and elongation regardless of the immersion time in the liquid nitrogen. These mechanical properties of aluminum alloys at cryogenic temperature were interpreted by the strength of grain boundary and the slip deformation behavior.

Probably the most significant heat transfer in the cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage tank from the atmosphere may occur through its support system. In this paper the efficient support system for the cryogenic storage vessel was newly developed and analysed. The support system was composed of a spherical ball as a supporter to reduce the contact area. which is located between two supporting SUS tubes inserted SUS and PTFE blocks. Numerical analyses for temperature distribution, and the thermal stress and strain of the support system were performed by the commercial codes FLUENT and ANSYS. The heat transfer rate of the supporter was evaluated by the thermal boundary potential method which can consider the variation of thermal conductivity with temperature. The results showed that the heat transfer rate through the developed supporter compared with the common SUS tube supporter was significantly reduced. The thermal stress and strain were obtained well below the limited values. It was found that the developed supporter can be one of the most efficient support systems for cryogenic liquid storage vessel.
