Liquid storage tank is one of the major infrastructures and generally used to store gases, drinking and utilizing water, dangerous fluids, fire water and so on. According to the recent reports and experiences, the tank structures are damaged in many earthquakes due to their low energy dissipating capacity. Therefore, many researchers have been tried to know the dynamic properties of the tanks including liquids. However, vary limited experimental studies are carried out using relatively small tank models. In this study, a series of shaking table tests are performed with maximum 2 m cubic rectangular liquid storage tanks made of steel to measure the natural frequency and estimate damping coefficient of impulsive and convective mode of the tanks. Especially, the damping values under different shapes and excitation methods are estimated by logarithmic decrement method and half power band-pass method and compared with current design code and standards such as ASCE 7, Eurocode 8 and NZS. Test results show that the impulsive mode damping is around 2% which is proposed by general standards and codes but the impulsive mode damping is 0.13% average that is slightly lower than the code recommendation.

This study analyzes the cool-down process of liquid hydrogen storage tanks, which have advantages in terms of large-capacity transfer, storage, and utilization as hydrogen demand increases. A hydrogen liquefaction plant is selected for analysis and an efficient tank cooling method is sought by comparing the time required for the cool-down process with the gas consumption in connection with the gassing-up process required for the operation of the liquid hydrogen storage tank. The results of this study can be referred to in the operation process after the initial start-up and maintenance of the hydrogen liquefaction plant.

밀폐된 초저온액화가스 저장탱크에 액화질소의 충전량을 바꾸어 가면서 시간이 경과함에 따른 탱크 내부의 여러 가지 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 탱크 내부의 압력, 온도, 액체와 기체의 비율 등의 변화는 충전된 액체의 양에 의존한다. 탱크에 충전된 액체의 양에 따라 (1)액면이 높아지면서 액화를 동반하기도 하고, (2)액면이 높아짐에도 불구하고 초기에는 액체의 기화가 일어나다가 압력이 높아지면 다시 액화가 일어나기도 하며, (3)액면은 일정하게 유지되지만 액체의 기화가 일어나기도 하며, (4)액면이 낮아짐과 동시에 액체의 기화가 일어나는 등 다양한 변화를 나타내었다. 탱크에 액체를 가득 채우면 압력이 급상승하여 매우 위험하므로 안전수칙에 따라 $90\%$ 이하 충전해야한다. 탱크가 완전히 밀폐되어 있을 경우, 탱크를 액체로 가득 채우면 불과 5일만에 80bar의 압력상승을 가져오지만, $90\%$ 충전하면 5일 동안에 겨우 1.5bar의 압력상승이 일어난다. 그러나 어느 경우이건 액체를 충전한 채 탱크를 완전히 밀폐시킨 뒤 장기간 방치하는 것은 대단히 위험하다.

Attempting to make an economic valuation of semi-liquid manure raises various complex questions. These are the valuation under different farming conditions, cost-benefit analysis in connection with the investment requirements of different semi-liquid manure systems, different storage capacities, transportation distances and treatment procedures. In the following, there questions will be discussed : 1. What value do the different types of semi-liquid manure have under different farming conditions? 2. Which storage capacities are economically justified? 3. Under which conditions is the transport of semi-liquid manure over long distances profitable?

In order to efficiently control boil-off rate of a liquefied hydrogen tank, the important thing is to maintain an appropriate vacuum level. however, compared to small and medium-sized storage tank, it is very difficult to create and maintain vacuum in large-capacity storage tanks. In this study, we aim to determine the target level of future large-capacity storage tank technology development and secure basic data on performance test methods by analyzing the corelation between evaporation gas and thermal conductivity of liquefied hydrogen storage tanks.

Interacting Spherical tank has maximum storage capacity is broadly utilized in industries because of its high storage capacity. This two tank level system has the nonlinear characteristics due to its varying surface area of cross section of tank. The challenging tasks in industries is to manage the flow rate of liquid. This proposed work plays a major role in controlling the liquid level in avoidance of time delay and error. Several researchers studied and investigated about reducing the nonlinearity problem and their approaches do not provide better result. Different types of controllers with various techniques are implemented by the proposed system. Intelligent Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) with Fractional order PID controller is a novel technique which is developed for a liquid level control in a interacting spherical tank system to avoid the external disturbances perform better result in terms of rise time, settling time and overshoot reduction. The performance of the proposed system is obtained by analyzing the simulation result obtained from the controller. The simulation results are obtained with the help of FOMCON toolbox with MATLAB 2018. Finally, the performance of the conventional controller (FOPID, PID-SMC) and proposed ANFIS based SMC-FOPID controllers are compared and analyzed the performance indices.

본 연구는 옥외저장탱크에서 발생한 화재·폭발사고의 근본적인 사례분석을 통해 저장탱크의 안전을 유지할 목적으로 수행되었다. 이 사고는 저장탱크 야드에 사업장 외에서 날아온 풍등이 저장탱크 주변 잔디에 떨어지며 발생한 잔재 화재가 서서히 확산되어 탱크 내부의 유증기와 만나 폭발·화재로 이어진 사고였다. 사고의 원인을 밝혀내기 위하여 CCTV영상분석을 통한 대기확산 조건 도출, 전산유체역학을 이용한 풍향 분석, 플러팅 루프가 최저 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 발생량, 최고 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 거동을 통하여 저장탱크의 폭발이 일어난 원인을 밝혀내어 저장탱크의 레벨을 내부부상형 지붕 이하로 유지했을 경우 위험물이 충전되면서 그 공간에 있던 유증기가 내부 부상지붕위에 정체될 가능성이 있으므로 저장탱크의 Low liquid level이 폰튠 서포트 밑에 위치하지 않도록 운전절차를 개선하고, 오픈 벤트에는 화염방지기를 설치하여 화염이 저장탱크로 유입하지 못하도록 하는 대책을 제시하고자 한다.

The transient dynamic-response analysis of fuel-storage tanks of flying vehicles accelerating in the vertical direction is achieved with finite element method. A fuel-storage tank is a representative example of the fluid-structure interaction problem, in which structure and fluid media interact strongly. For the accurate analysis of this complicated fluid-structure system, we employed ALE(arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) coupling method. Two types of fuel-storage tanks, one with two baffles and the other without baffle, are considered to examine the effect of baffles. The fuel-storage tank with baffles shows more uniform hydrodynamic pressure distribution, resulting effective stress in structural region and faster convergence from transient to steady states. MSC/Dytran, a commercial FEM software for the 3D coupled dynamic analysis, is used for this analysis.

Measuring an exact amount of remaining cryogenic liquid propellant under microgravity condition is one of the important issues of rocket vehicle. A Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) gauging method is attractive due to its minimal additional hardware and simple gauging process. In this paper, PVT gauging method using liquid nitrogen is investigated under microgravity condition with parabolic flight. A 9.2 litre metal cryogenic liquid storage tank containing approximately 30% of liquid nitrogen is pressurized by ambient temperature helium gas. During microgravity condition, the inside of the liquid tank becomes near-isothermal condition within 1 K difference indicated by 6 silicon diode sensors vertically distributed in the middle of the liquid tank. Helium injection with higher mass flow rate after 10 seconds of the waiting time results in successful measurements of helium partial pressure in the tank. Average liquid volume measurement error is within 11% of the whole liquid tank volume and standard deviation of errors is 11.9. As a result, the applicability of PVT gauging method to liquid propellant stored in space is proven with good measurement accuracy.

This paper presents a new seismic isolation design for liquid storage tank (LST). The seismic isolation system includes: LST, flexible membrane, sand mat and rolling seismic isolation devices. Based on the mechanical equilibrium theory, the symmetric concave rolling restoring force model of the isolation device is derived. Based on the elasticity theory and restoring force model of the seismic isolation, a simplified mechanical model of LST with the new seismic isolation is established. The rationality of the seismic isolation design of LST is explored. Meanwhile, the seismic response of the new seismic isolation LST is investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the new seismic isolation tank can effectively reduce the seismic response, especially the control of base shear and overturning moment, which greatly reduces the risk of seismic damage. The seismic reduction rate of the new seismic isolation storage tanks in Class I, II, and III sites is better than that in Class IV sites. Moreover, the seismic isolation device can effectively control the ground vibration response of storage tanks with different liquid heights. The new seismic isolation LST design provides better isolation for slender LSTs than for broad LSTs.
