Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG and Hydrogen (H₂)

Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG  and Hydrogen (H₂)

Abstract

A high-pressure gas storage tank made from composite materials, including carbon fiber, resin, and plastic, is designed for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen. This type of tank is classified as a Type IV high-pressure vessel. In this research, it is designed to operate at a pressure of 250 bar for the transportation of compressed natural gas.

Objective

การบรรจุก๊าซที่ความดันสูงต้องใช้บรรจุภัณฑ์​ที่มีความแข็งแรง​ การใช้ถังที่ผลิตจากโลหะถูกนำมาใช้ในช่วงแรกๆ​ แต่ปัญหาที่ตามมาคือน้ำหนักมากทำให้สิ้นเปลืองเชื้อเพลิงในกรณีที่นำไปติดตั้งบนยานพาหนะ​ จึงเกิดการพัฒนาถังความดันที่พัฒนาจากวัสดุประกอบขึ้นซึ่งจะช่วยลดน้ำหนักของบรรจุภัณฑ์​และการกัดกร่อนเกิดขึ้นน้อย

Effect of Gum Arabic Combined with Mangosteen Peel Extract (MPE) on Extending the Shelf Life of ‘Namdokmai Sithong’

This study aimed to evaluate the optimal edible coating formulation for 'Namdokmai Sithong' mangoes by incorporating 10% gum arabic (GA) with mangosteen peel extract (MPE) at varying concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%), compared to a control treatment (distilled water). The coated fruits were stored at room temperature for 14 days, and their physicochemical properties were assessed. The findings indicate that the application of GA (10%) combined with MPE effectively mitigated color changes in mango flesh, suppressed disease incidence, and preserved fruit firmness. Additionally, the coating significantly delayed alterations in total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C content, carotenoid levels, and phenolic compounds. Among the tested formulations, GA (10%) + MPE (1%) exhibited the highest efficacy in extending shelf life, maintaining fruit quality, and enhancing surface gloss.
