The feasibility of liquefied natural gas as fuel for naval ships
Samenvatting
In the present work the possibility to use Liquefied Natural Gas as a fuel for naval ships has been investigated. The main research question is: "Is it viable to convert the hydrographic survey vessels to the use of Liguefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel?" More specifically the focus lay on how to convert the engines to the use of LNG, how much storage capacity is needed, where to place the storage tanks and what the order of magnitude of the return of investment time of the conversion is. The result of this work is a MatLab program to model the heat flow and pressure buid-up in a LNG container.
