- A cylindrical liquid oxygen (LOX) tank has a diameter of 1.22 m, a length of 6.1 m, and hemispherical ends. The boiling point of LOX is -179.4C. An insulation is sought that will reduce the boil-off rate in the steady state to no more than 11.3 kg/h. The heat of vaporization of LOX is 214 kJ/kg. If the thickness of this insulation is to be no more than 7.5 cm, what would the value of its thermal conductivity have to be?arrow_forward8.2 From its definition and from the property values in Appendix 2, Table 13, calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion, , for saturated water at 403 K.

What amount of energy input would be needed to maintain the water at its boiling point for 30 minutes? The polished stainless steel pot is cylindrical, 20 cm in diameter and 14 cm high, with a tight-fitting flat cover. The air temperature in the kitchen is about 25 ° C.

- 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 .arrow_forwardWater boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure, that is, at sea level (To=15ºC). The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of water is equal to the atmospheric pressure. This has consequences for cooking in places such as Atok where it takes quite a bit longer to make a hard-boiled egg than it would in Baguio City. If the albumen in an egg needs to reach 75°C for the protein to coagulate, at what height would it be impossible to hard boil an egg?arrow_forwardA water tank is completely filled with liquid water at 40°C. The tank material is such that it can withstand tension caused by a volume expansion of 5 percent. Determine the maximum temperature rise allowed without jeopardizing safety. Assume a volume expansion coefficient value at that of 65 °C. (Just write the numerical answer. Include - if the answer is negative. No need to put the unit.)
