Membrane Type LNG선의 3차원 정상상태 온도분포 및 BOR 계산 프로그램 개발에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Three-Dimensional Steady State Temperature Distributions and BOR Calculation Program Development for the Membrane Type LNG Carrier

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is on the development of the computer program that calculates a 3-D hull temperadistribution and analyzes BOR(Boil off rate) to be important to the heat design of a membrane type LNG carrier. The quarter of a tank is taken as an calculation model. And the thermal conductivity of insulation is assumed to be the function of a temperature. In the present steady state calculation, the temperature of LNG in a cargo tank is assumed to be -$162^{\circ}C$ and the air temperature of a cofferdam, to be +$5^{\circ}C$. The lowest air temperature in compartments is calculated as $21.39^{\circ}C$ under the USCG condition ($T_{air}=-18^{\circ}C,\;T_{sw}=O^{\circ}C)$ and B.O.R value is O.0977%/day under the maximum boil-off condition, IMO IGC ($T_{air}=45^{\circ}C,\;T_{sw}=32^{\circ}C$), which satisfies the requirement by KOGAS. The calculated temperature distribution over tank panels at each condition is maximum 3% less than GTT's results. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the present design of LNG cargo tank satisfies the requirement by KOGAS.
