PROFILE OF EVAPORATION RATES LINKED TO PRESSURE CHANGES IN CRYOTANKS.

EVOLUTION DES TAUX D'EVAPORATION LIEE A DES VARIATIONS DE PRESSION DANS LES RESERVOIRS CRYOGENIQUES.

Type of article: Article

Summary

IT IS ACTUALLY THE EVAPORATION PROCESS ON BOARD METHANE CARRIERS IN TWO CASES: SUDDEN PRESSURE DECREASE AFTER THE OPENING OF A VALVE AND CONTINUOUS PRESSURE GRADIENT. BESIDES A BRIEF DESCRIPTION, THE AUTHOR DRAWS UP AN EQUATION FOR THE PROCESS ; FOR THIS, HE ELABORATES A SYSTEM OF DIMENSIONLESS VARIABLES DERIVED FROM THE NUMBERS COMMONLY USED FOR NATURAL CONVECTION.
