LNG CARRIERS History The first LNG carrier Methane Pioneer (dwt 5034 tons) left the Calcasieu River on the Louisiana Gulf coast on 25 January 1959. Carrying the world’s first ocean cargo of LNG‚ it sailed to the UK where the cargo was delivered. Subsequent expansion of that trade has brought on a large expansion of the fleet to today where giant LNG ships carrying up to 266‚000 m3 are sailing worldwide. At the end of 2005‚ a total of 203 vessels have been built‚ of which 193 are still in service

invented war machines that were effective and required significantly lesser amount of work. Next‚ his weapons were incredibly advanced‚ even for today’s standards. Finally‚ Archimedes became the first person ever to take advantage of steam technology by building the steam cannon. Directly or indirectly‚ many wars and battles would have resulted differently if not for his inventions. First‚ Archimedes invented war machines that made fighting war easier and more effective. One of his inventions included

flywheel This setup is most commonly used in control valve actuators in high pressure oil and gas pipelines. Although not a common metalworking machine nowadays‚ crude shapers can use a Scotch yoke. Almost all those use a Whitworth linkage‚ which gives a slow speed forward cutting stroke and a faster return. It has been used in various internal combustion engines‚ such as the Bourke engine‚ SyTech engine‚[1] and many hot air engines and steam engines.

end of the spectrum is the theory of catharsis‚ first introduced by the prodigious Greek philosopher Aristotle‚ which puts forth the idea that observing these images allow one to release pent up stress or aggression‚ mimicking the effect of a safety valve‚ rather than causing violence to occur. Violence in media does not lead to desensitization because it instead acts as a catharsis‚ preventing violence by instilling brutal and horrifying images in the mind of the viewer and allowing a release of pent

GENERAL WORKING AND DESCRIPTION OF COAL HANDLING PLANT In thermal power station‚ Coal is a principal fuel and hence a careful thought is given to the design and layout of the coal handling plant. As the consumption of coal is very large‚ the design and layout of a coal handling plant should be simple but robust with a view to reduce the maintenance and running cost to the lowest possible figure consistent to reliability. Mode of Coal Transportation : Coal is brought to the power station by three

1.INTRODUCTION Quasi turbine is a zero vibration continuous combustion rotary engine having four faces articulated rotor with a free and accessible centre rotating without vibration nor dead time and producing a strong torque at low rpm under a variety of modes and fuels. The quasi turbine is also an optimization theory for extremely compact efficient engine concept. It is a new engine concept from Canada which offers a design similar to that
