Tchnical Institut, Ahmdabad-380060, Gujaat, India -mail jdjani@diffmail.com Abstact: Ou objctiv of hat tansf analysis is to find out th amount of hat to b tansfd. In ou cyognic tansf lin ou ffot is to find out th ways to pvnt th hat to b tansfd fom high tmpatu to low tmpatu fluid. W us insulation to pvnt th hat tansf. Th chc of insulation fo a paticula application is usually a compomis in which factos such as conomy, convninc, wight, uggdnss, volum and oth poptis a considd along with th ffctivnss of insulation. Onc th insulation is slctd, hat tansf at is to b calculatd and optimiation of th insulation is to b don I. INTODUCTION On of th main chalgs duing th tim of tanspotation of LNG fom offsho to th stoag tminal and duing oth mans of tanspotation is to minimis th hat in-lak. In this pap w will calculat th hat in-lak o Hat tansf duing th tanspotation of LNG. II. POCEDUE FO HEAT IN-LEAK CALCULATION Hat tansf though tansf lin is a cas of hat tansf though composit cylind.
