304 energy storage gas tank

What is a typical liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vertical storage tank?

In this paper, a typical liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vertical storage tank made from a 304 stainless steel material was used for the analysis. LPG is a type of gaseous hydrocarbon liquefied at room temperature and pressure of magnitude 101,425 Pa for use in cooking, heating homes and as fuel source [ 15 ].

Is 304 stainless steel better than carbon steel?

Therefore making 304 more preferred than carbon steel. In this paper, a typical liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vertical storage tank made from a 304 stainless steel material was used for the analysis.

Is 304 stainless steel a good material for engineering structures?

The stress–strain curve was validated with the standard plot for the 304 stainless steel material type. The application of 304 stainless steel materials in recent years for the construction of engineering structures are of increasing demand in the industry [ 2, 5 ].

Does temperature affect mechanical load in 304 stainless steel?

In this study the effect of a time dependent change in the temperature of the material (304 stainless steel) was investigated. The temperature was set to increase from cryogenic to 30 °C, and the pressure which represents mechanical load was also implemented at the wall boundary.

Does 304 stainless steel fail?

Stress–strain curve demonstrating failure of the stainless steel material The results obtained from the numerical simulation was validated with a typical stress–strain plot for 304 stainless steel material. Both plot are observed to profile fairly well and the fracture point identified with a dash line are well aligned.

Can a vertical LPG storage tank be used as a case structure?

Here, a vertical LPG storage tank is used as the case structure for the investigation. Despite the extensive studies on the failure analysis of stainless steel materials from literature, the application of a coupled transient thermal and structural system approach is rare in literature.
