A combined fluid-dynamic and thermodynamic model to predict the onset of rapid phase transitions in LNG spills

A combined fluid-dynamic and thermodynamic model to predict the onset of rapid phase transitions in LNG spills

Transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship occurs globally on a massive scale. The large temperature difference between LNG and water means LNG will boil violently if spilled onto water. This may cause a physical explosion known as rapid phase transition (RPT). Since RPT results from a complex...
