Regime of Uniform Heating of Liquid Phase During Static Storage of Liquefied Natural Gas

Abstract

The case of heat and mass transfer is investigated for static storage of liquefied gases, which, with exception of the near-wall region, occurs without temperature stratification of the liquid phase. The maintenance of vessels in a regime of uniform heating reduces losses by a factor of 2.5 - 3.5. The range of parameters for the process corresponding to this regime under self-pressurization are investigated.
