Question:

A dewar flask, used to contain liquid nitrogen, is made of two concentric spheres separated by an evacuated space. The inner sphere has an outside diameter of 1 m and the outer sphere has an inside diameter of 1.3 m. These surfaces are both diffuse-gray with ε = 0. 2. Nitrogen, at 1 atmosphere, has a saturation temperature of 78 K and a latent heat of vaporization of 200 kJ/kg. 

Under conditions when the inner sphere is full of liquid nitrogen and the outer sphere is at a temperature of 300 K, estimate the boil-off rate of nitrogen.
