Question
Design a spherical tank, with a wall thickness of 2 cm that will assure that no
more than 50 kg of hydrogen will be lost per year. The tank, which will operate
at 500 °C, can be made of nickel, aluminum, copper, or iron. The diffusion
coefficient of hydrogen and the cost per kg for each available material is listed
here. (Assume that the tank capacity is 15 kg)
Material D0 (cm2
/s) Q (cal/mol) Cost ($/kg)
Nickel 0.0055 8900 9.0
Aluminium 0.16 10340 1.32
Copper 0.011 9380 2.43
Iron (BCC) 0.0012 3600 0.33
