Question: Liquid oxygen is stored in a thin-walled, spherical container 0.8 m in diameter, which is enclosed within a second thin-walled, spherical container 1.2 m in

Liquid oxygen is stored in a thin-walled, spherical container 0.8 m in diameter, which is enclosed within a second thin-walled, spherical container 1.2 m in diameter. The opaque, diffuse, gray container surfaces have an emissivity of 0.05 and are separated by an evacuated space. If the outer surface is at 280 K and the inner surface is at 95 K, what is the mass rate of oxygen lost due to evaporation? (The latent heat of vaporization of oxygen is 2.13 X 105 J/kg.)
