During LNG storage and transportation by ship, a fraction of the LNG in the cryogenic tanks evaporates due to heat ingress through the insulation, resulting in boil-off gas (BOG) production and a change in LNG composition, a phenomenon known as LNG agein...

A rim seal is often used to prevent the ingress of high-temperature gas into the turbine disk cavity and protect the turbine disk from damage. Based on the overlapping rim seal (Seal-A), this paper proposes two more composite sealing structures (Seal-B a...

Recycled aggregate produced from crushed waste concrete is suitable for use in structural concrete. It reduces the demand for non-renewable resources and also for energy in general. However, RA is more porous than most natural aggregates. The porosity of...
