Abstract: A model is proposed to predict the weathering of LNG stored in containment tanks. It dispenses with a standard approximation where the temperature of the generated vapour within the tank is assumed to be the same as that of the stored LNG. Instead, it treats the heat influx from the surroundings into the vapour and liquid phases separately and allows for the heat transfer between the two phases. The model was validated only by comparing with the compositional data, as no reliable measurements of vapour temperature are available.
