Question: Prob. 3 . ( Liquid nitrogen tank ) Liquid nitrogen is stored in a container made of two concentric spheres with the space between them
Prob. Liquid nitrogen tank
Liquid nitrogen is stored in a container made of two concentric spheres with the space between them evacuated. The inner sphere has an outside diameter of m and the space between the two spheres is m The outer surface of the inner sphere and the inner surface of the outer sphere are gray with an emissivity of If the saturation temperature for nitrogen at atmospheric pressure is K and its latent heat of vaporization is times mathrm~Jmathrmkg estimate its boiloff rate under each of the following conditions:
a The outer sphere is at K
b The outer surface of the outer sphere is black and transfers heat by radiation to surroundings at K Assume convection is negligible.
c The outer sphere is at K and a heat shield in form of a concentric sphere made of a thin metallic sheet with emissivity of is placed halfway between the two spheres.
