In this study, to develop a light weight duo type aluminum LPG tank in stead of a conventional steel tank optimization technology is used. Two types of optimization method are carried out for internal compression test simulation of a LPG tank. The first is the thickness only optimization of LPG tank components. The second is the thickness and shape optimization. For the case of the thickness only optimization the weight reduction rate of an optimized tank compare to that of the initial design is 42%. Also 48% weight reduction was achieved for the case of the thickness and shape optimization.

The systematic results of anti-rolling tanks tests obtained by bench tester and roll test in towing tank have been examined. The effects on the oscillating period of fluid transfer through the duct of U-tube tank due to damper plates and the effects on roll damping moment of the tank due to swash plates are alto evaluated from the results. A simple control algorithm for a forced fluid transfer in U-tube tanks if devised to active operation of the tank by air blower. The active performances of the tank are confirmed very effective through the tank tests carried out in the irregular waves.

In this study, the inertial properties of fully filled liquid in a tank were studied based on the potential theory. The analytic solution was obtained for the rectangular tank, and the numerical solutions using Green's 2nd identity were obtained for other shapes. The inertia of liquid behaves like solid in recti-linear acceleration. But under rotational acceleration, the moment of inertia of liquid becomes small compared to that of solid. The shapes of tank investigated in this study were ellipse, rectangle, hexagon, and octagon with various aspect ratios. The numerical solutions were compared with analytic solution, and an ad hoc semi-analytical approximate formula is proposed herein and this formula gives very good predictions for the moment of inertia of the liquid in a tank of several different geometrical shapes. The results of this study will be useful in analyzing of the motion of LNG/LPG tanker, liquid cargo ship, and damaged ship.

When a Combined cycle power plant was started, Steam turbine wasted pure water too much during prewarming of turbine. Wasted pure water gathered in vessel tank and evaporated immediately, then emitted atmosphere. We investigate method to recover the heat in vessel tank. We installed a heat exchanger in vessel tank. In this study, the designing and manufacturing procedures of the heat exchanger was presented. Also, the performance results was showed briefly.

Several methodologies were devised to reasonably predict the temperature boundary conditions of inner face of the concrete outer tank so as to set up heat transfer analysis model of the full containment above-ground LNG storage tank. In this model, outer tank is solely taken into account and the beneficial effect of suspended deck and insulation layers on the temperature distribution of outer tank is separately formulated according to the proposed procedures. More effective design of the insulations can be achieved when the proposed simple schemes are used in the preliminary stage.

For the simplicity in the analytical solution, the simple surge tank has been chosen for the test where an unsteady flow is porduced by suddenly closing the valve controlling the discharge. The valve is loated immediately downstream from the surge tank. Momentumn equations in the penstock and in the surge column are measured recored on the oscillograph and then the calibration of surge column heights and scale readings on the oscillograph trace are made. The diameter of the penstock are determined by the trial and error method. The water levels in the surge column are computed by numerical integration of the differential equation of the surge tank. The relationships between the results from the experiment and numerical computation are figured, compared and discussed.

In this paper, we consider a tow-person zero-sum game in which an attack helicopter with a missile wishes to destroy a tank. The tank has much small-caliber ammunition for protection itself from the attack helicopter. And the attack helicopter possesses a missile for attacking the tank. We develop models for the behavior of the attack helicopter, in terms of missile launch time, and of the tank, in terms of ammunition firing rate, in several situations. In particular, we examine the Weiss-Gillman model.

This study aims to maintain the safety of an outdoor storage tank through the fundamental case analysis of explosion and fire accidents in the storage tank. We consider an accident caused by the explosion of fire inside the tank, as a result of the gradual spreading of the residual fire generated by wind lamps flying off a workplace in the storage tank yard. To determine the cause of the accident, atmospheric diffusion conditions were derived through CCTV image analysis, and the wind direction was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics. Additionally, the amount of oil vapor inside the tank when the floating roof was at the lowest position, and the behavior of the vapor inside the tank when the floating roof was at the highest position were investigated. If the cause of the explosion in the storage tank is identified and the level of the storage tank is maintained below the internal floating roof, dangerous liquid fills the storage tank, and the vapor in the space may stagnate on the internal floating roof. We intend to improve the operation procedure such that the level of the storage tank is not under the Pontoon support, as well as provide measures to prevent flames from entering the storage tank by installing a flame arrester in the open vent of the tank.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect on the marine environment by the use of Nano-S. Nano-S was made to apply to improve the red tide bloom. The experiment was performed at round tank with volume of 180 L. Each tank was filled with an aggravated sediment about $14{\pm}1cm$ hight and sea water. The water flow-rate of tank was established on the rate of 6.25 L/hr. Sea water level was fitted to 40 cm, therefore the filled water was about 150 L. The sediment was stabilized during one week. Then the Nano-S and the red mud were added into each tank 0 kg(control), 1 kg(tank A), 2 kg(tank B), 5 kg(tank C) and 10 kg(tank D) each other. The quantity was fulfilled with 0 kg(control), 2.75 kg(tank A), 5.51 kg(tank B), 13.77 kg(tank C) and 27.55 kg(tank D) per square meter of sediment. The experiment was performed during 30 days. Water and sediment samples were collected from each tanks on the before 1hour and after 1, 3, 6, 12 hour and 1st, 3th, 5th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 30th day of the experiment period. The change of water and sediment quality was analyzed before and after applying the Nano-S and the red mud.

Leakage incidents due to the fault of hazmat tank foundations are likely to cause the tremendous fire disaster in the national industry cluster area. The proper design and construction of tank foundation should be required to prevent the tank fire. In the study, the types of typical tank foundations were classified and modeling the individual tank type for 3D FEM analysis was performed to suggest the guideline for the design and construction of tank foundations. Matters to be attended of the foundation design and construction are reviewed through the comparison assessment of the numerical analysis results of the foundation types.
