Popis: Excessive generation of BOG during the LNG transportation not only causes the severe financial loss but also leads to the unexpected disaster. Therefore, the carrier cargo insulating interior LNG should be carefully designed based upon an accurate heat transfer analysis. However. it is not simple to analyze heat transfer of LNG cargo, because it is in a complex insulation structure and LNG carrier experiences a complicated heat transfer according to various kinds of voyage conditions. In this paper, we carried out the transient finite element heat transfer analysis for a cargo of Mark-111 membrane-type LNG carrier during laden voyage, and we compared heat transfer rates between considering natural convection and considering conduction. For this goal, we developed a PCL program incorporating with a commercial MSC/NASTRAN FEM code.
