Design Study of High Performance Steam Propulsion System for LNG Carrier
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper was discussed the current possibility technology can be used to design a high performance steam propulsion system for an LNG carrier. The propose system was designed based on the available technology for marine industry. The technical performance analysis was carried out to evaluate the improvement of the system. Economic performance for this system was also discussed in paper. The sensitivity analysis used for the economic performance analysis was made by varying the relative system initial cost and fuel price to cover several possible economic conditions to operate LNG Carrier.

LNG Carrier Propulsion by ME Engines and Reliquefaction
However, LNG carriers are expensive ships, and the contractual supply of cargo is usually tied by strict charterparty conditions. Therefore, the market has been hesitant to look at and accept other propulsion systems. Now this has changed. With the market launch of electronically controlled low speed diesels and reliable independent reliquefaction technology, all the traditional reasons not to ...

 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...
متن کاملDesign of robust carrier tracking systems in high dynamic and high noise conditions, with emphasis on neuro-fuzzy controller
The robust carrier tracking is defined as the ability of a receiver to determine the phase and frequency of the input carrier signal in unusual conditions such as signal loss, input signal fading, high receiver dynamic, or other destructive effects of propagation. An implementation of tight tracking can be understood in terms of adopting a very narrow loop bandwidth that contradict with the req...
