LNG & Gas: An Operator's Guide to Thermodynamics
PDF Download

Overview:

This useful 94-page manual delivered as a PDF download is designed to give LNG plant technicians- including operators and electrical, instrument, and maintenance personnel- as well as gas engineers and managers a better understanding of gas and LNG processes. The Guide doesn't require any prerequisite courses or knowledge of higher mathematics.

The Guide's purpose is to develop the inner creativity of gas and LNG technicians and a method of thinking about thermodynamic processes, based on the use of a Pressure-Enthalpy diagram as an everyday process estimating tool. Once you understand thermodynamic processes, you can explore the use of these principles for LNG production, refrigeration, and power production. The Guide concludes with a total review of an open expansion LNG plant using simplified thermodynamic principles. It includes problems for self-testing and it can also be used as a teaching manual.
