Abstract:

Sustainable development of the energy system requires renewable fuels for power generation and transportation. The biosyngas is a biomass-derived renewable fuel that has to be stored somewherefor utilization in the automobile. In this study, a biosyngas cylinder with a capacity of 20 litres was designed for Stainless Steel (SS) and Composite Material (CM), i.e., E-Glass Epoxy UD, at a gas pressure of 50 bar and atmospheric temperature of 25 °C. For the design of the gas cylinder, the inner diameter was assumed to be 200 mm. The design results revealed the height of both cylinders to be 716 mm, cylinder wall thickness6.1 mm (SS) and 6.7 mm (CM), and the mass of the empty gas cylinders as 21.49 kg for SS 5.33 kg for CM. Then, ANSYS Static Structural analysis of the gas cylinder was carried out for varying pressures and temperatures for both the materials. Then, the energy content and total weight of the cylinder were analyzed. Further, different layouts were also prepared for the arrangement of gas cylinders in the boot space. The gas cylinder made of CM has corrosion resistance property and has a total mass less than SS cylinder and hence more suitable.
