Storage tanks using super ellipse geometries

摘要

A storage system and method are provided. The storage system may be for storing fluids, and include a first storage tank having an internal first volume defined by one or more exterior sides of the first storage tank being designed to have a super elliptical shape circumscribed by a rectangle or square so that the internal first volume is greater than an internal volume of a storage tank designed to have an elliptical or circular shape circumscribed by the rectangle or the square. The circumscribing rectangle may be a golden rectangle.

1. A storage system for storing fluids, comprising:
a first storage tank having an internal first volume defined by one or more exterior sides of the first storage tank being designed to have a super elliptical shape circumscribed by a rectangle or square so that the internal first volume is greater than an internal volume of a storage tank designed to have an elliptical or circular shape circumscribed by the rectangle or the square, wherein said first storage tank has at least one input port and at least one output port, and wherein fluid within said first storage tank is circulated using said at least one input port and said at least one output port.
