In tro duc tionProd uct and chem i cal tank ers are ships in tended to the trans port of dan ger ous, pe troleum-based liq uid car goes and chem i cals (see fig. 1). There fore many types of pipes are installed on decks of the prod uct and chem i cal tank ers as ships in tended to the sea car riage of liquid car goes. One of the most im por tant in stal la tions are hy drau lic in stal la tions of cen tral sup ply ing sys tems, in tended to the drive hy drau lic sub merged cargo pumps [1][2][3][4][5]. Work ing condi tions un der which these hy drau lic in stal la tions are ex ploited at sea are ex tremely dif fi cult. This is the re sult of spec i fic ity of prev a lent cir cum stances on board of sea-go ing ves sels. One of the most im por tant prob lems is in flu ence of changes of the am bi ent tem per a ture, changes of the de gree of so lar ra di a tion, and tem per a tures of transfluent hy drau lic oil on stresses and ten sions in pipes of hy drau lic in stal la tions.It takes root that the change of the length of the line is pro por tional to the change of the tem per a ture of line ma te rial [6]:Banaszek, A., et al.: Finite Element Method Analysis of Pipe Material Temperature .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
