Abstract

In this study, a heat transfer performance experiment was conducted by experimentally testing the vaporization process of liquefied natural gas (LNG) using a seawater vaporizer and the process of supplying cooled seawater to the aquaculture tank. By using liquid nitrogen instead of LNG, we experimentally analyzed changes in tank water temperature according to changes in liquid nitrogen supply mass flow rate, water supply mass flow rate, and injection angle of the aquaculture tank nozzle. When testing was conducted by fixing the water mass flow rate at 0.05 kg/s and changing the liquid nitrogen mass flow rate to 0.0058 kg/s, 0.0075 kg/s, and 0.0092 kg/s, the target temperature of 17°C was reached under the experimental condition of 0.0092 kg/s.
 When the water supply mass flow rate was set to 0.05 kg/s, 0.07 kg/s, 0.08 kg/s, and 0.10 kg/s at the constant mass flow rate of liquid nitrogen of 0.0092 kg/s, the target temperature of 17°C was reached under the experimental condition of 0.07 kg/s. When the angle of the water nozzle was adjusted to 0°, 30°, and 60°, the fastest way to reach the target temperature of 17°C was the 0° experimental condition in which water was injected tangentially to the water tank.
