India has experienced enormous growth in population at an average of 7% a year in the last decade. With this growth, India’s need for energy has increased exponentially. In a move that threatened to strain United States – India relations, India signed a $40 billion contract with Iran, promising to import more than 1.2 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas each year from the natural gas giant.
Iran possesses the second largest proven natural gas reserves (only Russian reserves are larger) estimated at 812 trillion cubic feet of the resource. With an economy that is often in disarray, Iran has pumped up its efforts to increase its gas exports dating back to the large discoveries of their South Pars natural gas fields in 1988. This discovery made Iran the sole possessor of 9% of the planet’s natural gas reserves. Iran envisioned the promise of large profits if export deals could made with the ever increasing populations and energy needs of South Asian countries like Pakistan and India. In 1995, Pakistan signed an initial agreement with Iran allowing a pipeline to be constructed from the South Pars fields to Pakistan’s industrial port, Karachi. This agreement resulted in a feeling of confidence within Iran’s natural gas industry, and motivated Iran to take that agreement one step further. Iran proposed that Pakistan could not serve as a final destination of the new pipeline, but rather as a stopping off point, with the pipeline continuing on into India. This would not be an enormous undertaking of engineering, but of political compromise, with India and Pakistan having had strained relations since the mid 1940s over there disputed mutual borders. Perhaps India and Pakistan could put aside their political and social disagreements in order to achieve the economic growth the import of natural gas fuel could create for both countries. The proposed pipeline has been nicknamed the “Peace Pipeline” because of the promise of political compromise and mutual agreement between the two nations of India and Pakistan.
Perhaps an even larger hurdle for the pipeline exists half a world away in a totally different hemisphere. The United States has expressed its concern and objection to any agreements, economic or otherwise, made between any of its allies and Iran. Iran has expressed disdain for the large presence of US military troops in the Indian Ocean. An agreement between the three countries is still in the works, but the construction has not yet begun. Iranian natural gas companies similar to Triple Diamond Energy Corp, British Petroleum, and others, will be ready to assist with construction efforts when the time arrives.

If you consider natural gas as primarily methane CH4, try these physical properties I found on the web:
Molecular WeightMolecular weight : 16.043 g/mol
Solid phaseMelting point : -182.5 °C
Latent heat of fusion (1,013 bar, at triple point) : 58.68 kJ/kg
Liquid phaseLiquid density (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 422.62 kg/m3
Liquid/gas equivalent (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 630 vol/vol
Boiling point (1.013 bar) : -161.6 °C
Latent heat of vaporization (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 510 kJ/kg
Critical pointCritical temperature : -82.7 °C
Critical pressure : 45.96 bar
Critical temperature : -82.7 °C
Critical pressure : 45.96 bar
Gaseous phaseGas density (1.013 bar at boiling point) : 1.819 kg/m3
Gas density (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 0.68 kg/m3
Compressibility Factor (Z) (1.013 bar and 15 °C (59 °F)) : 0.998
Specific gravity (air = 1) (1.013 bar and 21 °C (70 °F)) : 0.55
Specific volume (1.013 bar and 21 °C (70 °F)) : 1.48 m3/kg
Heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) (1 bar and 25 °C (77 °F)) : 0.035 kJ/(mol.K)
Heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) (1 bar and 25 °C (77 °F)) : 0.027 kJ/(mol.K)
Ratio of specific heats (Gamma:Cp/Cv) (1 bar and 25 °C (77 °F)) : 1.305454
Viscosity (1.013 bar and 0 °C (32 °F)) : 0.0001027 Poise
Thermal conductivity (1.013 bar and 0 °C (32 °F)) : 32.81 mW/(m.K)
You can use the latent heat of vaporization to calculate the amount of heat that must be removed to convert the gas to the liquid.
Hope this helps

I dont see anything wrong with a good old beat down some people honestly deserve it.
747 running on GE engines can use up to 32000 lbs of fuel per hour on each engine at normal range of takeoff settings
initial climb speed of a 747 is 1800 to 2400 feet per minute depending on load
777's engines for some reason are more greedy at takeoff, maybe its the high bypass ratio but anyways, they drink at a rate of 50000lbs per hour, max, at normal range of takeoff settings
initial climb speed varies, but probably like the 747, is around 1800 to 2400 feet/min.
jumbo airbuses are slightly more efficient due to the smaller pratt n' Witney engines, but it probably similar
getting to an altitude of 35K is harder to say because pilots may step climb, may climb faster or slower depending on ATC, too many variables for me to give you a figure. but for sure, aircraft are not at takeoff power setting all the way up to their cruising altitude.
