Modeling of LNG Spills Into Trenches and Troughs

Apr 5, 2012
Nicolas F. Ponchaut
Trenches and troughs are commonly used in LNG storage and transfer facilities to contain potential LNG spills. The trenches are concrete-lined rectangular channels dug into the ground. They are typically slightly inclined from the horizontal to direct the flow of LNG towards the sump and they are...

In this work, production of lipid from Lypomyces starkeyi on soluble sweet potato starch was simulated in Aspen Plus simulation. A kinetic model based on experimental results of medium optimization and high density cultivation was used for cell growth and lipid production. The simulation...

A Numerical Study On Bio-Oil Gasification Using A Multicomponent Approach

Oct 17, 2011
Song-Charng Kong
A Numerical Study on Bio-Oil Gasification Using A Multicomponent Approach Bio-oil, also called pyrolysis oil, is a complex biorenewable fuel produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass. Since bio-oil is carbon dioxide neutral, it can be an ideal replacement for petroleum fuel to be used in many kinds...
