The immense pressure to decarbonise the maritime industry has led Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) uptake as a marine fuel and LNG fuelled ships design. As is stored in cryogenic conditions, heat ingress from ambient causes boil-off gas (BOG) production, which, if not controlled, results tank overpressure with implications on storage system safe operation. This study aims at investigating an behavio...

This report (NUREG/CR-6427) addresses the Direct Containment Heating (DCH) issue for all Westinghouse plants with ice condenser containments. There are ten operating ice condenser plants located at five sites in the U.S. DCH phenomena in ice condenser plants are different in some important aspects from DCH phenomena in other Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) in that they have ice beds to suppre...

Abstract Water hammer shortens hydraulic passage lifespan and may cause sudden failure. The primary goal is to use a hierarchical approach assess the main parameters associated with water hammer. This will help investigate their influence assist in decision making. Analytical calculation results numerical model are compared against experimental data. Our investigations examine overpressure load...

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep saline aquifers has emerged as an option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The large amounts of supercritical CO2 that need to be injected into deep saline aquifers may cause large fluid pressure increases. The resulting overpressure may promote reactivation of sealed fractures or the creation of new ones in the caprock seal. ...
