Acertain superinsulation material having a thermal conductivity of 2*10^-4 W/m*^ C is used to insulate a tank of liquid nitrogen that is maintained at - 196 degrees * C : 199 kJ is required to vaporize each kilogram mass of nitrogen at this temperature. Assuming that the tank is a sphere having an inner diameter (ID) of 0.52 m, estimate the amount of nitrogen vaporized per day for an insulation thickness of 2.5 cm and an ambient temperature of 21 degrees * C . Assume that the outer temperature of the insulation is 21 degrees * C .

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
