Question
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is transported in very large tankers, stored as liquid in equilibrium with its vapor at approximately
atmospheric pressure. If LNG is essentially pure methane, the storage temperature then is about 111.4 K, the normal boiling point of
methane. The enormous amount of cold liquid can in principle serve as a heat sink for an onboard heat engine. Energy discarded to
the LNG serves for its vaporization. If the heat source is ambient air at 300 K, and if the efficiency of a heat engine is 61% of its Carnot
value, estimate the vaporization rate in moles vaporized per kJ of power output. For methane, AH = 8.206 kJ.mol-¹.
The vaporization rate in moles vaporized per kJ of power output is
mol-kj1
