摘要:
An information processing apparatus may include a plurality of converting units respectively configured to execute a predetermined data conversion from one data format to another data format, and a control unit. The control unit may coordinate the converting units based on a conversion request to convert electronic data in a first data format into electronic data in a second data format, in order to make the converting units execute a data conversion from the first data format to the second data format.
摘要:
Provided is a method for liquefying natural gas which can be applied to LNG plants of a wide range of capacity and can produce LNG both efficiently and economically. Feed gas of natural gas or a non-liquefied component of recycle gas which is produced during a process of liquefying natural gas is liquefied by using a first refrigerant, for instant consisting of a C3 refrigerant, and a second refrigerant which is different from the first refrigerant, for instance consisting of a C2 refrigerant, in a stepwise fashion. The flow is then liquefied by a substantially isentropic expansion process. The non-liquefied component remaining from this expansion process is then pressurized by a compressor, and combined with the non-liquefied component of the natural gas for recycling the combined flow. The compressor is driven by power obtained from the substantially isentropic expansion process.
