The usefulness of these algorithms in the LNG carrier industry in the areas of risk assessment and maintenance modeling as a standalone or hybrid algorithm are identified.

In this study, two fistulated wethers （38 ± 1.5 kg） were used in situ method. The gas production was measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 h and ruminal DM （dry matter） and CP （crude protein） disappearances were measured at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h. DM degradabilities of treated pomegranate pomace at 8 h to 96 h were larger than untreated pomegranate pomacewhich showed significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. CP degradabilities of treated pomegranate pomace at 96 h was 62.38% that showed significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. The metabolizable proteins of treated and untreated pomegranate pomace were 73 and 64.27 g/kg respectively that showed significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. The gas productions of treated and untreated pomegranate pomace at 48 h were 79.91 and 128.75 mL/g DM respectively that showed significant differences （p 〈 0.05）. It was concluded that the pomegranate pomace can be used largely as ruminant feeds.展开更多

It shows that the fracture process at the stage of stripping （initialization） of crack can be characterized by Critical Fracture Diagram （CFD）. Calculating and experimental way to construct CFD is suggested and discussed. The fracture resistance requirements for oil ＆ gas pipes in terms of fracture mechanics （Kc, Lc） are formulated and proved. The results of full scale hydraulic pressure pipe testing, based on metal testing data of the standard Charpy specimens （KCV） and pipe＇s specification requirements are interrelated. The way to estimate the admissible temperature operation conditions of oil ＆ gas pipes by means of based metal ＂KCV-temperature＂ dependence is proposed.展开更多

In this study, the supply security of natural gas was taken into consideration with strategic criteria of energy policy with the SWOT （strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats） analysis and the future projection for Turkey. It has been concluded on geopolitics criteria, domestic production and research for resources must be stimulated as high as possible and participation to abroad resources must be implemented.展开更多

The process was modeled using Aspen Plus soft-ware. The process performances, i.e., CH4 content in SNG~ higher heating value and yield of SNGexergy efficiencies with and without heat recovery, unit power consumption, were evaluated firstly. The results indicate that when the other parameters remain unchanged, the steam-to-biomass ratio at carbon boundary point is the optimal value for the process. Im proving the preheating temperatures of air and gasifying agent is beneficial for the SNG yield and exergy effi ciencies. Due to the effects of COz removal efficiency, there are two optimization objectives for the SNG produc tion process： （I） to maximize CH4 content in SNC or （II） to maximize SNG yield. Further, the comparison among different feedstocks indicates that the decreasing order of SNG yield is： corn stalk 〉 wheat straw 〉 rice straw. The evaluation on the potential of agriculture-based SNG shows that the potential annual production of agriculture re sidual-based SNG could be between 555 108 - 611 108 m3 with utilization of 100% of the available unexplored resources. The agriculture residual-based SNG could play a significant role on solving the big shortfall of China＇s natural gas supply in future.展开更多
