Lumped Model for the Assessment of the Thermal and Mechanical Response of LNG Tanks Exposed to Fire

Fires may impact on liquefied natural gas (LNG) process and storage units causing severe damages and potential accident escalation. In the present work, a lumped model able to predict the thermal response of LNG tanks exposed to fire is presented. The model is based on a thermal nodes approach, solv...
