Liquid oxygen at -183°C is stored in a thin walled spherical container with an outside diameter of 2 m. This container is surrounded by another sphere of 2.5 m inside diameter to reduce heat loss. The inner spherical surface has an emissivity of 0.05 and the outer sphere is black. Under normal operation the space between the spheres is evacuated but an accident resulted in a leak in the outer sphere and the space is filled with air at 100 kPa. If the outer sphere is at 25°C, compare the heat losses before and after the accident.
GIVEN
? A sphere filled with liquid oxygen surrounded by a larger sphere
? Sphere diameters ? Di = 2 m
? Do = 2.5 m
? Emissivity of inner sphere (?) = 0.05
? Outer sphere temperature (To) = 25°C = 298 K
? Liquid oxygen temperature (Ti) = –183° = 90 K
? Outer sphere is black
FIND
The rate of heat loss with
(a) A vacuum between the spheres
(b) Air at 100 kPa between the spheres
ASSUMPTIONS
? Steady state
? The internal convective resistance and the resistance of the inner sphere wall are negligible
