Question 1340 Deck General
70% to passWhat does the LNG cargo pumps capacity depends upon?
A
density of cargo
B
speed (LPG/LNG pumps are constant speed)
C
back pressure
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. The capacity of LNG cargo pumps depends on the density of the cargo, the speed of the pumps, and the back pressure in the system. The density of the cargo affects the mass flow rate, the pump speed affects the volumetric flow rate, and the back pressure in the system affects the pump's ability to overcome resistance and deliver the required flow. All of these factors must be considered when determining the appropriate capacity of the LNG cargo pumps. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because the capacity depends on a combination of these factors, not just one.
