Abstract
Abstract Recently, cryogenic fluids are widely transported via cargo ships as energy sources. The generation of boil-off gas (BOG) is inevitable in a cryogenic container due to the large temperature difference. Therefore, accurately analyzing the boil-off gas over time is essential to increase delivery efficiency and ensure tank safety. However, predicting the boil-off rate (BOR) is not a simple task, as both experiment and calculation require a significant amount of time. In this study, a simple predictive method is developed for simulating a 1/50 scaled model tank. The method consists of steady and quasi-unsteady calculations. Steady calculations are performed to establish a correlation between LN2 level and inner-wall temperature. Quasi-unsteady calculations simulate BOG over time by changing the inner-wall boundary conditions. This method can help engineers effectively evaluate the insulation performance of a cryogenic container in a short time and provide guidelines for simulating a real scale tank.
