Summary

VARIOUS THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LNG WHILE TRANSPORTED AT SEA HAS BECOME KNOWN BY SHIP OPERATORS. HOWEVER, THE KNOWLEDGE IS LIMITED TO EMPIRICAL DATA. IF THE QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION METHOD IS DEVELOPED THROUGH THEORETICAL ANALYSIS, IT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF LNG CARRIERS. THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE FOLLOWING PHENOMENA: THE EFFECTS OF SHIP MOTIONS ON BOIL-OFF RATE, THE PRESSURE RISE IN AN ENCLOSED TANK AND UNLOADING LNG BY PRESSURE. THEIR MECHANISMS HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED AND THE ESTIMATION METHODS ESTABLISHED WITH PRACTICAL ACCURACY THROUGH STUDY OF OPERATIONAL DATA, THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND VERIFICATION TESTS.
