Proposal of System for High Efficiency Energy Extraction from LNG and Study of Use of EGR and SCR System in Ships
Abstract: The paper focuses on the green shipping methodologies and environment friendly practices. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the most effective alternatives to traditional shipping fuels. Ports have LNG re-gasification systems, which generally use Open Rack Vaporizers (ORVs) to convert the LNG to NG. In this process, a lot of the ‘cold energy’ is lost. A proposal for a LNG re-gasification system has been made in this paper which …

Failure Analyses of 16 mm Thick SA 516 GR 70 Auto Clave
Abstract: With the acceleration of global industrialization, there is a demand for high-or low-pressure storage of liquids or gases. Because of the complicated operating conditions that will inevitably encounter a possible hazard, pressure vessel design is a critical responsibility. Previous failure studies have revealed that the presence of local loads and discontinuities increases pressure vessel fracture. As a result, a detailed examination of pressure vessel steel from the standpoint of fracture …
