This article studies the process of relaxation of the pressure in a tank with the damaged area of the wall after pressure-testing. The authors use different methods for the diagnosis of the technical condition of objects of petroleum products storage. Pressure testing is one of nondestructive methods. The rate of pressure decrease is characteristic of the system tightness. This article studies the cases of ground and underground location of the tank. Pressure testing involves excess pressure inside of a tank and observing its decrease. Over time, one can assess the integrity of the system. This has required creating mathematical models to account the filtration of the liquid depending on the location of the tank. The results include the analytical solution of the task and the formulas for describing the dependence of the relaxation time of pressure in the tank from the liquid and soil parameters, geometry of the tank, and the damaged portion of the wall. The two- and three-dimensional cases of liquids filtration for the case of underground location of the tank were considered. The results of some numerical calculations of the dependence of reduction time and the time of half-life pressure from the area of the damaged portion of the wall were shown. The obtained solutions allow assessing the extent of the damaged area by the pressure testing with known values of tank, liquid, and soil.

Stability And Accuracy

Modified 3D Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method is used to complete the numerical simulation of the fluid sloshing in LNG tank under multidegree excitation motion, which is compared with the results of experiments and 2D calculations obtained by other scholars to verify the reliability. The cubic spline kernel functions used in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method are adopted to reduce the deviation caused by consecutive two times weighted average calculations; the boundary conditions and the determination of free surface particles are modified to improve the computational stability and accuracy of 3D calculation. The tank is under forced multidegree excitation motion to simulate the real conditions of LNG ships, the pressures and the free surfaces at different times are given to verify the accuracy of 3D simulation, and the free surface and the splashed particles can be simulated more exactly.

Research on the waste energy and emission has been quite intensive recently. The formation, venting and flared the Boil-off gas (BOG) considered as one of the contribution to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission nowadays. The current model or method appearing in the literature is unable to analyze the real behavior of the vapor inside Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tank and unable to accurately estimate the amount of boil-off gas formation. In this paper, evaporation model is used to estimate LNG Boil-Off rate (BOR) inside LNG tank. Using User Define Function (UDF) hooked to the software ANSYS Fluent. The application enable drag law and alternative heat transfer coefficient to be included. Three dimensional membrane type LNG cargos are simulated with selected boundary condition located in the United States Gulf Coast based on average weather conditions. The result shows that the value of BOR agrees well with the previous study done with another model and with International Marine organization (IMO) standard which is less than 0.15% weight per day. The results also enable us to visualize the LNG evaporation behaviors inside LNG tanks.
