Laboratory and meta-analyses were done for 9% NI Steel for use in a liquefied natural gas carrier. The meta-analysis is based on a previous study. The laboratory analysis examines the effects of a single pass and multiple passes on the tensile strength through an impulse-response test. The tensile strength increased from pass one to pass three and decreased from pass four to pass ten. The pass and multi-pass welding had a positive effect on the tensile strength. Lastly, the welding and tensile time had a positive effect on the tensile strength.

전 세계적으로 천연가스의 수요가 급격하게 증가함에 따라 천연가스의 생산 및 공급이 활발하게 이루어지고 있고, 향후 10년 간 천연가스의 사용량이 현재의 2배 이상이 될 것이라는 추측도 나오고 있다. 이에 따라 천연가스 생산지에서는 천연가스 액화 플랜트(Liquefaction Plant)와 저장 탱크(LNG Storage Tank), 수입하는 곳에서는 재기화 플랜트(Regasification Plant)와 저장 탱크, 그리고 LNG를 운송할 LNG 운반선의 신조프로젝트가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 미국의 경우 911테러와 NIMBY 사고의 확대로 인하여 LNG 수입기지의 육상건설을 주민들의 반대하자 해상에 건조하려는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 이에 따라 여러 가지 형태의 LNG Offshore 터미널이 설계되고 있다. 향후 LNG의 급격한 수입이 예상되는 나라로는 미국, 중국, 인도 등이 있으며 수출국으로는 카타르가 급격하게 부상하고 있다.

The LNG carriers have been propelled by steam turbines and the LNG boil-off(BOG) has been used as fuel or vented. However, as the alternative propulsion systems such as diesel engines are being equipped on the LNG carriers for better fuel efficiency, a need for the LNG BOG re-liquefaction system that liquefies the BOG and sends the liquid BOG back to the LNG cargo has arisen in recent years. This study investigates the design of the BOG re-liquefaction system based on the reverse Brayton refrigeration cycle. The thermodynamic and heat exchanger analysis are carried out and the limitations to the system performance are discussed.

In the present paper, the sloshing resistance performance of an LNG carrier insulation system is evaluated by fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis. For this analysis, the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is adopted to accurately calculate the structural behavior induced by internal LNG motion of a KC-1 type LNG carrier cargo tank. In addition, the global-local analysis method is introduced to reduce computational time and cost. The global model is built from shell elements to reduce the sloshing analysis time. The proposed novel analysis techniques can potentially be used to evaluate the structural integrity of LNG carrier insulation systems.

This paper introduced the thermal characteristics of Moss Rosenberg Verft spherical tank type LNG Carrier. Especially described the temperature variation during cooling down condition. It is not easy task to calculate the temperature variation because of unsteady state condition. In this paper, computer simulation program is developed by using a Tomas Algorithm on unsteady state condition and compared with calculation results and experimental results on existing LNG Carrier voyage.

Sloshing loads, produced by the violent liquid free-surface motions inside the cargo tank have become an important design parameter in ship building industry since there have been demands for the increased sizes of the cargo containment system of LNG carriers. In this study, sloshing impact pressure acting on the shell of the spherical cargo tank of an LNG carrier as well as dynamic pressure and flow behavior around the pump tower located at the center of the tank have been calculated. Comparative numerical sloshing simulations for a spherical LNG tank using 2-D LR.FLUIDS which is based on the finite difference method and 3-D MSC.DYTRAN which is capable of calculating nonlinear fluid-structure interaction have been carried out. A method of calculating sloshing-induced dynamic loads and the subsequent structural strength analysis for pump tower of a spherical LNG carrier using MSC. DYTRAN and MSC.NASTRAN have been presented.

In this study, the effect of cryogenic liquefied natural gas leakage and loading on liquefied natural gas cargo hold is investigated to observe the performance of the polymer foam material that comprises the cryogenic insulation of the cargo hold. The primary barriers of liquefied natural gas carrier that are in contact with the liquefied natural gas will leak if damage is accumulated, owing to fluid impact loads or liquefied natural gas loading / unloading over a long period. The leakage of the cryogenic fluid affects the interior of the polymer foam, which is a porous closed cell structure, and causes a change in behavior with respect to the working load. In this study, mechanical properties of polyisocyanurate foam specimen, which is a polymer material used as insulation, are evaluated. The performance of the specimens, owing to the cold brittleness and the impregnation effects of the cryogenic fluids, are quantitatively compared and analyzed.
