INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE SPREADING AND EVAPORATION OF LNG SPILLED ON WATER

This paper contains the results of a theoretical investigation into the evaporation and spilling of LNG on open water and on a confined water surface. Spreading and evaporation are calculated and compared with experimental results. As little is known about the evaporation of LNG on a confined water surface a model has been derived which describes the evaporation including the formation of an ice layer. It is concluded that results agree well with the available experimental data.
