- 1.63 Liquid oxygen (LOX) for the space shuttle is stored at 90 K prior to launch in a spherical container 4 m in diameter. To reduce the loss of oxygen, the sphere is insulated with superinsulation developed at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryogenic Division; the superinsulation has an effective thermal conductivity of 0.00012 W/m K. If the outside temperature is on the average and the LOX has a heat of vaporization of 213 J/g, calculate the thickness of insulation required to keep the LOX evaporation rate below 200 g/h.arrow_forward5.10 Experiments have been performed on the temperature distribution in a homogeneous long cylinder (0.1 m diameter, thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m K) with uniform internal heat generation. By dimensional analysis, determine the relation between the steady-state temperature at the center of the cylinder , the diameter, the thermal conductivity, and the rate of heat generation. Take the temperature at the surface as your datum. What is the equation for the center temperature if the difference between center and surface temperature is when the heat generation is ?arrow_forwardA plane wall of thickness 2L has internal heat sources whose strength varies according to qG=qocos(ax) Where qo is the heat generated per unit volume at the center of the wall (x=0) and a is a constant. If both sides of the wall are maintained at a constant temperature of Tw, derive an expression for the total heat loss from the wall per unit surface area.arrow_forward
