A sphere 20 cm in diameter containing liquid air (–140°C) is covered with 5-cm-thick glass wool (50 kg/m3 density) with an emissivity of 0.8. Estimate the rate of heat transfer to the liquid air from the surrounding air at 20°C by convection and radiation. How would you reduce the heat transfer?

GIVEN
• A sphere containing liquid air covered with glass wool
• Sphere diameter (Ds) = 20 cm = 0.2 m
• Liquid air temperature (Ta) = – 140°C = 133 K
• Surrounding air temperature (T?) = 20°C = 293 K
• Insulation thickness (s) = 5 cm = 0.05 m
• Insulation emissivity (?) = 0.8
FIND
• Rate of heat transfer from liquid air to surrounding air
(q)
• How can this be reduced?
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state conditions
• The surroundings behave as a black body enclosure at T?
• Surrounding air is still
• Thermal resistance of the convection inside the sphere and of the container wall are negligible
