| Summary: | A simulator is designed to be able to determine the configuration of small-scale
natural gas liquefaction system. Production rate of the system is no more than
31,7 kg/s. The system employs refrigeration process to bring feed gas temperature
down to enable it to condense. The refrigeration cycles used in the simulation are
simple 1-stage reversed-Brayton cycle and its modified cycle. Simulation is done
with assumption that the system has reached steady-state condition. The
parameters included in the simulation are the type of refrigerant, working
pressure, temperature of refrigerant at some point in the cycle, temperature of
natural gas before and after through the system, and its mass flow rate.
The designed simulator has been tested with manual computation, and
comparisons with error less than 4% is obtained. Until that stage it can be
concluded that the output of the simulator is credible. Parametric Analysis also
has been performed to determine the effect of changing a parameter to the cycle as
a whole, which is expressed by figure of merit (FOM) of the cycle, entropy
generation rate in components, and mass flow rate of refrigerant required to
liquefy the natural gas. |
