Abstract:
Spherical storage tanks are used in various industries to store substances like gasoline, oxygen, waste water, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Cracks in the storage tanks are unaccepted defects, as storage tanks can leak or spill the contained substance through these cracks. Leakage from contained hazardous substances storage tanks can contaminate the environment and may lead to fatal accidents. Therefore, the ability to detect cracks from spherical storage tanks is necessary to avoid damage to the environment and to ensure public safety. In this paper, we present a crack detection case study of a spherical tank. The detection was performed using time-domain statistical features and a machine learning algorithm. The proposed method consists of (1) extraction of statistical features from the acoustic emissions (AE) acquired from the spherical tank, and (2) classification of the nonlinear data using a support vector machine (SVM). We evaluate the proposed algorithm with AE data obtained from the spherical tank, demonstrating that the algorithm effectively discriminates between normal and crack conditions. These results show that the proposed algorithm is effective for detecting cracks in spherical storage tanks.

Abstract:
Hydrocarbon is a major source of energy for sustainable development. Storage of hydrocarbon products, however, requires a significant amount of land space to land-scarce countries like Singapore. This paper presents an alternative way of storing hydrocarbon in Singapore coastal waters through the innovative design of a floating hydrocarbon storage facility. The design comprises free-floating and self-stabilizing tanks enclosed by barges that form a floating hydrocarbon storage facility. The tanks are made of prestressed concrete and they are designed to be self-stabilized when floating in the sea water. Owing to the lack of available design guidelines, design requirements on the stability and motion criteria for floating storage tanks are developed based on a review of existing codes of practice and design specifications for both onshore tanks and offshore vessels. A comprehensive study on the hydrostatic performance of various proposed floating tank design concepts with different storage capacities is carried out. This paper aims to give design recommendations on the tank’s storage capacity and dimensional aspect ratios that fulfill the recommended stability requirements and motion criteria.

Abstract:
A container to store water in a huge amount of capacity can simply be called as the water tank. During the earthquakes, all these liquid storage tanks get collapsed or damaged heavily. 40 to 65 years is the feasible lifetime of an ESR in general. Shortage of drinking water, utilizing water, uncontrolled fires, etc are some unexpected events caused due to any damage or collapse of the tanks. Water tank parameters include various designs of tanks and different way of construction, materials, linings etc. Different materials are used for the construction and development of water tanks such as: - plastic, concrete, steel, fiberglass, etc. Therefore, to avoid all those unwanted events in the future various studies have been carried out regarding different types, shapes of water tanks. In this research, Elevated Service Reservoir (E.S.R) is being compared of shape Rectangular & Circular water tanks of capacity 5lakh litres and a total height of 18m with 3m, 4.5m staging height in Earthquake Zone V by Equivalent static analysis using STAAD.PRO software and referring GSDMA guidelines for the design of a tank and IS 1893 PART2-2014 code. By studying all the observations and results, it shows that Circular water tank is more preferable and economical for use.

Abstract:
The scarcity of safe drinking water is one of the problems faced by the majority of cities in the world. Kirkuk city is one of these cities, which suffer from a shortage of drinking water. People have adopted the use of different rooftop tanks to overcome this problem. This research focuses on studying the effect of storage time on the five main characteristics of drinking water, which include, acid index (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), and turbidity (Tr). Three types of tanks were used predominantly (galvanized metal, plastic, and aluminum tanks). By analyzing the results, the characteristics of three samples of municipal source water obtained. Three samples were taken from each tank at different periods (4, 8, and 12 days). The results showed that the storage time affected the characteristics of drinking water. These characteristics differed from one tank to another. Metal tanks showed an increase in total dissolved solids, due to the evaporation process, even as plastic and aluminum tanks showed an increase in pH. The properties of all storage water tanks changed with times, but overall, the results were within the Iraqi limitation for drinking water. It was not easy to only depend on the results of this study to believe that any one type of water tank was better than the other, as the values of most of the variables studied had varied from one type to other. However, many studies have indicated a number of health risks, and most significantly with regard to plastic tanks, which are said to contain dangerous organic compounds that can be transferred to water. Metal tanks can cause zinc leakage, caused by a number of environmental factors at high levels. Aluminum tanks also can have an effect on the water in tanks.

Abstract:
The use of storage tanks in sewerage systems has increased in recent years. The primary functions of such tanks are to attenuate flow and to retain pollutants within the sewer system. The size of the required storage volume is dependent on the purpose for which the tank is to be used but the end product of any design analysis is the definition of fixed volume of storage which has to be included as part of the sewerage system. The main problem is to provide storage and effective separation of gross and suspended solids without incurring poor self cleansing and associated high maintenance costs. The work outlined in this paper involved the development of a laboratory computer controlled monitoring system for the purpose of flow visualisation and for the comparative assessment of the sediment deposition and removal performance of different geometric configurations of storage tank. These systems used sophisticated control procedures and the latter had the facility to generate a flow hydrograph of any shape and duration and to superimpose on this hydrograph a pollutograph of synthetic sediment, in this case crushed olive stone wood flour. Particular attention was focused on the optimum length to breadth ratio for a given storage volume, the configuration of the chamber floor - number, shape and gradient of dry weather flow channels and benching (gradient; the type of roof support and the effect of multiple storms on the redistribution of deposited sediment. The results of the work illustrated that very complex flow patterns were established within the storage tanks as the flow hydrograph was discharged through the system and that these flow patterns governed the sediment settlement, re-entrainment and transport processes in the tank. The velocity distribution within each chamber was a function of tank geometry, the shape, volume, and duration of the inflow hydrograph and the throughflow setting. The paper is concluded by a series of recommendations to aid the design of storage tanks.

Abstract:
I PCM (Phase Change Materials) mostrano un'elevata entalpia di fusione con la capacità, in un volume relativamente piccolo, di immagazzinare o rilasciare grandi quantità di energia come calore latente durante la fusione e la solidificazione. Inoltre, i PCM in pratica richiedono che le loro temperature di transizione di fase superiore e inferiore siano all'interno dell'intervallo di temperatura operativa per una data applicazione e posseggano un'elevata conducibilità termica per un efficiente trasferimento di calore con un comportamento di scambio di fase congruente per evitare la separazione irreversibile dei loro costituenti. Durante lo sviluppo dei PCM, sono stati studiati molti gruppi diversi di materiali, tra cui composti inorganici (sale e idrati salini), composti organici come paraffine, acidi grassi e persino materiali polimerici come il PEG. La relazione tra la struttura fondamentale e le proprietà di immagazzinamento dell'energia di questi PCM è stata esaminata negli anni per determinare i meccanismi di accumulazione/emissione di calore con riferimento alle loro caratteristiche finali di immagazzinamento dell'energia. La tesi mira a studiare l'applicazione dei Phase Change Materials in un serbatoio d'acqua per aumentare la capacità di accumulo termico negli impianti di riscaldamento degli edifici. La possibilità di utilizzare l'acqua come acqua calda sanitaria è stata esclusa dallo studio, per cui si è ipotizzato di utilizzarla solo per il riscaldamento o il raffreddamento a pavimento.

Abstract:
Electric hot water tanks play a pivotal role as demand response assets within the UK's energy system by storing heat when energy is inexpensive and delivering domestic hot water when it is required. This role will become increasingly important if non-dispatchable renewable energy sources are to play a bigger part in the energy mix. Historically, the design standards relating to hot water tanks have focused primarily on minimising heat losses. However, in addition to preserving energy, a hot water tank should preserve the availability of heat above a useful temperature for as long as possible to avoid energy usage during peak times when it is costly or carbon intensive. To do this, thermal stratification within hot water tanks must be promoted. Unfortunately, thermal stratification leads to conditions that are conducive to bacterial growth due to the hospitable temperatures that arise during operation. For this reason, question marks have arisen over the extent to which more flexible control strategies, designed to allow for increasing penetrations of intermittent renewable energy sources, might lead to the growth of pathogenic bacteria within hot water tanks. The objective of the work discussed in this thesis was to understand the extent to which there is a conflict between thermal stratification and bacterial growth in practice, whether this conflict can be resolved and the potential implications for electric hot water tanks operating on a time of use tariff. A small field study demonstrated that there is prolific bacterial growth within conventional electric cylinders and that this can be attributed to thermal stratification with a confidence of (P<0.01). Fitting a de-stratification pump, to enhance sanitary performance, resulted in a 19% decrease in the recovery of useable hot water above 43°C. Given that the tanks tested during the field study were made of copper, the consequences of alternative material choices on thermal performance were explored. It was found that the rate of useable hot water loss, due to de-stratification associated with thermal diffusion across the thermocline, could be reduced by a factor of 2.7 by making the tank liner wall from stainless steel instead of copper. Further numerical work indicated that this improvement in stratifying performance was most significant for small tanks with high aspect ratios. In addition to de-stratification that arises due to vertical conduction, de-stratification due to inlet mixing was reduced by up to 30% by installing a spiral diffuser into the base of a test cylinder. In addition, by lowering the immersion heating element to ensure there is sufficient heat transfer to the base of the cylinder, sterilising temperatures could be attained throughout the stored volume of water in the tank during heating. This showed that the conflict between thermal and sanitary performance within electric tanks could potentially be resolved. A bespoke tank, made from stainless steel and fitted with a diffuser, was built and subjected to typical draw cycles that reflect real world operation. These tests showed that more useable hot water could be delivered in comparison to a commercial off the shelf copper tank and consequently the utilisation of the Economy 7 time of use tariff would be enhanced.

Abstract:
Los dispositivos de almacenamiento de energía térmica son ampliamente usados en diversos sistemas térmicos caracterizados por un desfase temporal entre la producción de energia y su consumo, como es el caso de los sistemas de energía solar térmica. El diseño optimizado de estos equipos puede representar un considerable aumento en el rendimiento térmico de la instalación de la cual forman parte. En la línea de optimización de sistemas y equipos térmicos, en los últimos años la Mecánica de Fluidos Computacional (CFD) se ha consolidado como una herramienta básica, proporcionando a investigadores e ingenieros un método para ensayar virtualmente sus diseños, disminuyendo los costes en términos de tiempo, recursos y personal. Es en esta línea se encuentran las principales aportaciones de esta tesis, la cual tiene como principal objetivo la simulación numérica de procesos de convección laminar en régimen transitorio y dominios cilíndricos para su aplicación al estudio de los fenómenos de transferencia de calor y dinámica de fluidos que tienen lugar en los tanques de almacenamiento de energía.

Se presenta la metodología seguida para la resolución de las ecuaciones gobernantes de la transferencia de calor y dinámica de fluidos en coordenadas cilíndricas, mostrando las principales particularidades de su discretización para este tipo de geometrías y se detalla el tratamiento realizado para resolver estas singularidades dentro del código numérico. Posteriormente, se expone la metodología para la solución de flujos transitorios e incompresibles y se realiza un riguroso proceso de verificación del código y las soluciones numéricas obtenidas.

Esta metodología se aplica al estudio del comportamiento de los tanques de almacenamiento de energía estratificados. Un aspecto básico del funcionamiento de estos equipos es la calidad de la energía almacenada. Esta calidad viene determinada por el grado de estratificación térmica, en la cual influyen diferentes factores como la mezcla que ocurre debido a las corrientes de fluido que entran durante los procesos de carga y descarga térmica y también debido al intercambio de calor con el ambiente. En este sentido, en este trabajo se analiza la estratificación térmica para diferentes condiciones de trabajo y configuraciones por medio de las simulaciones numéricas multidimensionales. Para medir el grado de estratificación se han tenido en cuenta diferentes parámetros y como resultado del estudio, se propone un parámetro adimensional basado en un análisis exergético. Esta exergía adimensional ha permitido comparar el funcionamiento de los tanques en las diferentes situaciones analizadas y se ha mostrado útil para cuantificar la calidad de la energía almacenada.

Por otra parte, se estudia el comportamiento térmico de los tanques de almacenamiento durante su modo de operación estático y considerando las pérdidas de energía al ambiente. Este estudio tiene como objetivo fundamental caracterizar el proceso de enfriamiento del fluido en tanques que forman parte de sistemas solares térmicos para el rango de bajas y medianas temperaturas. Se presenta la metodología seguida para el análisis, desde la identificación de los números adimensionales que definen el problema, la formulación de un modelo zonal para la predicción del comportamiento térmico, el estudio paramétrico llevado a cabo y el posterior post-proceso de los resultados con el objetivo de proporcionar los parámetros necesarios para alimentar el modelo zonal. El modelo propuesto, junto con las correlaciones obtenidas, predicen correctamente el comportamiento del fluido, constituyendo una alternativa interesante para reproducir el proceso de enfriamiento del fluido en los tanques durante largos periodos de tiempo.
Thermal storage devices are widely used in many thermal systems and applications that are characterised by the delay between energy production and consumption, such as thermal solar systems. The improvement in their design and optimisation is a key aspect in the thermal optimisation of the system, where a good preformance of the storage tank can represent a considerable increase in the overall efficiency of the installation. In the subject of optimisation of thermal equipment, Computational Fluid Dynamics have been consolidated as an indispensable tool providing researchers and engineers with a method to test virtually their prototypes with low effort in time, personnel and resources. This thesis is focused in the numerical simulation of unsteady laminar convection in cylindrical domains and its application to the study of the heat transfer and fluid flow that take place in stratified storage tanks.

The first part of this document is devoted to present the methodology followed for the numerical resolution of the governing equation of heat and fluid flow in cylindrical coordinates. The main particularities of the discretisation of the equations in these geometries, as well as the solution procedure for incompressible and transient flow problems are also presented. Special emphasis is given to the verification of the code, the appropriateness of the discretisation adopted and the verification of the numerical solution obtained.

The second part of this thesis is focused on the study of the heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena that take place in stratified storage tanks, including the performance measures and modeling efforts of these devices. The quality of the energy stored is determined by the degree of the thermal stratification of the storage tank, which is affected by several factors such as the mixing due to the inlet streams during load and unload, the heat losses to the environment, among others. In this sense, thermal stratification analysis is carried out by means of the virtual prototyping of the tanks for different working conditions and configurations. In order to measure the performance of the tanks, different parameters are considered. The analysis led to the proposition of a new exergy-based parameter as a tool for assessing and comparing storage tanks. The usefulness of this parameter for quantifying the quality of the energy stored is also shown.

Furthermore, the thermal behaviour of storage tanks during the static mode of operation considering the heat losses to the environment is also analysed. The study is addressed to characterise the cool down of the fluid inside storage tanks for solar thermal systems in the low-to-medium temperature range. The methodology followed, from the identification of the significant non-dimensional parameters that define the problem, the formulation of a zonal prediction model, a parametric numerical study by means of detailed multidimensional CFD computations and the post-processing of the results in order to feed the global model are exposed in detail. Zonal model presented, together with the correlations given are in good agreement with the numerical results and constitute an alternative for the prediction of the long-term performance of the storage tanks during the cooling process.

Abstract:
Reliable access to safe drinking water is one necessity for humans to live without concern for major health risks. The overall goal of this research is to improve the public health, through improved drinking water, for communities in the Rakai District in Uganda, directly, and other communities in the world, indirectly, via dissemination of knowledge. This study specifically assessed the knowledge of drinking water quality in regards to public health, their sanitation measures, and water treatment methods for users of Brick by Brick rainwater harvesting tanks in the Rakai District (N = 28) by using a knowledge, attitudes, and practice survey and a sanitary inspection; tested the water quality of the Brick by Brick rainwater harvesting tanks (N = 33) in the Rakai District for physical, chemical, and microbial parameters; and piloted a sustainable treatment technology called the chulli system that uses excess heat from a cookstove to treat water. Twenty of the participants identified contaminated water as a cause of diarrheal disease (N = 28). Participants perceived boiling (1), chlorine (2), and filtering (3) as the best three methods of treating water. The average score for the sanitary inspection was 2.27±2.31, which falls between the low and medium expected risk score categories. Fourteen of the thirty-three samples showed detectable levels of colony forming units for coliforms, and two of the thirty-three samples showed detectable levels of colony forming units for E. coli. A demonstration chulli system was constructed for St. Andrew’s Primary School in Rakai District and operated successfully. The research supports that the chulli system along with proper sanitation measures identified in the sanitary inspections can be a sustainable option for users of Brick by Brick rainwater harvesting tanks in the Rakai District.

Abstract:
The utilisation of rainwater tanks and bore wells are very common in many parts of rural Australia and Papua New Guinea. In Australia, on-site collection and storage of potable water for domestic use is carried out by approximately 30.4 percent of the rural population while 90% of the population in Papua New Guinea access water from on-site collection and storage of potable water. Few studies have monitored the quality of such water supplies on a seasonal and event associated basis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and physio-chemical properties of the on-site domestic water supply systems and various factors that may influence characteristics of the water. It aimed to evaluate the relationship of microbiological and physio-chemical characteristics in the water supply systems. 14 rainwater tanks, 4 bore well and 10 reticulated water supply sites in Hawkesbury District, NSW Australia were investigated. Characteristics of the sites physical situation and natural environmental condition were considered to be similar to on-site water supply situations in Papua New Guinea. The results and techniques of the study will be used as a model in Papua New Guinea in the assessment of water quality issues. As the study showed that the quality of water in rainwater tanks was below WHO guideline recommendations on numerous instances, it was proposed that water treatment and maintaining the cleanliness of roof catchments, gutters and tanks should be addressed for domestic use systems. A protocol for sampling, assessment and data interpretation of faecal indicator bacteria populations in domestic catchment supply systems was developed and demonstrated

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, we address the task of representation, semantic annotation, storage, and querying of predictive modelling experiments. We introduce OntoExp, an OntoDM module which gives a more granular representation of a predictive modeling experiment and enables annotation of the experiment’s provenance, algorithm implementations, parameter settings and output metrics. This module is incorporated in SemanticHub, an online system that allows execution, annotation, storage and querying of predictive modeling experiments. The system offers two different user scenarios. The users can either define their own experiment and execute it, or they can browse the repository of completed experimental workflows across different predictive modelling tasks. Here, we showcase the capabilities of the system with executing multi-target regression experiment on a water quality prediction dataset using the Clus software. The system and created repositories are evaluated based on the FAIR data stewardship guidelines. The evaluation shows that OntoExp and SemanticHub provide the infrastructure needed for semantic annotation, execution, storage, and querying of the experiments.

Abstract:
Most of the storage systems available on the market use water as storage medium. Enhancing the storage performance is necessary to increase the performance of most systems. The stratification phenomenon is employed to improve the efficiency of storage tanks. Heat at an intermediate temperature, not high enough to heat up the top layer, can still be used to heat the lower, colder layers. There are a lot of parameters to study the stratification in a water tank such as the Mix Number and the Richardson Number among others. The idea studied here was to use these stratification parameters to compare two tanks with the same dimensions during charging and discharging processes. One of them is a traditional water tank and the other is a PCM-water (a water tank with a Phase Change Material). A PCM is good because it has high energy density if there is a small temperature change, since then the latent heat is much larger than the sensible heat. On the other hand, the temperature change in the top layer of a hot water store with stratification is usually small as it is held as close as possible at or above the temperature for usage. In the system studied the Phase Change Material is placed at the top of the tank, therefore the advantages of the stratification still remain. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the use of PCM in the upper part of a water tank holds or improves the benefit of the stratification phenomenon.

Abstract:
Cylindrical offshore storage tanks are mainly used to store critical liquids such as petroleum and LNG. Failure of these tanks after an earthquake not only results in high financial losses but can also create an environmental disaster as well. Seismic isolation technique has been utilized in this study to mitigate the damaging effects of lateral earthquake forces. In this study, seismic isolation is used in cylindrical offshore storage tanks. Seismic isolators are protected from the marine environment by a water-proof flexible membrane that allows the horizontal movement of the tank. The mathematical model takes the following into account: mass of the stored liquid, added mass of the water surrounding the tank, horizontal stiffness and damping of the isolation system. Internal forces due to the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the system during an earthquake have been calculated by using the shell-moment theory. The results of the analyses are compared for both the isolated and fixed-base tanks.

Abstract:
In this paper, the problem and analysis method of underwater storage tanks resting on a horizontal seabed is presented under stochastic earthquake loading. The tank is axi-symmetrical and has a flexible wall/roof. The finite element method is used for the response solution. A solid axi-symmetrical FE has been formulated to idealize the tank whereas an axi-symmetrical fluid element is used for the idealization of the fluid domain. The Eulerian formulation of the fluid system is used to calculate interactive water pressure acting on the tank during the free motion of the tank and earthquake motion. For the response calculation, the modal analysis technique is used with a special algorithm to obtain natural frequencies of the water-structure coupled-system. For the stochastic description of the earthquake loading the modified Kanai-Tajimi earthquake spectrum is used. Finally, the analysis method presented in the paper is demonstrated by an example.

Abstract:
A thin walled cylindrical liquid storage tank submitted to a large seismic excitation may exhibit buckling. Depending on the geometrical and dynamical characteristics of the tank, two buckling patterns are possible: • a bending buckling characterized by an “elephant foot bulge” at the bottom part, • a shear buckling characterized by oblique waves at the middle part of the tank. In a recent paper (Ref. [1]), Tomohiro I. et al. have presented the Japanese experience about bending buckling of cylindrical water tanks. Dynamic buckling experimental tests were performed using large scale water tank models simulating thin walled cylindrical water tanks in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). Test results were compared with finite element simulations and the applicability of a simple analytical method included in the AIJ (Architectural Institute of Japan) design guide lines on the buckling of liquid storage tanks was also investigated. In Europe, in the frame of the preparation of Eurocodes, a simple analytical method has also been developed to assess the buckling resistance of liquid storage tanks against seismic solicitations. On the other hand, FRAMATOME-ANP has gained her own experience about buckling analysis of large thin tanks where boric water is stored in French NPP. In order to justify the buckling behaviour of these tanks under extreme seismic loadings (Safe Shutdown Earthquake), finite element elastic-plastic calculations on shell models were undertaken where the influence of manufacturing geometrical defects was taken into account and the results were compared with those given by the simple analytical method included in Eurocode 8. In this paper, French and Japanese methodologies will be recalled and applied to a representative example of nuclear industry. Finally, some advanced aspects of the problem like the post-buckling behavior of the tanks and the influence of a possible bottom uplifting will be developed.
