Chapter 3, Problem 3.68P
A spherical tank for storing liquid oxygen on the space shuttle is to be made from stainless steel of 0.80-m outer diameter and 5-mm wall thickness. The boiling point and latent heat of vaporization of liquid oxygen are 90 K and 213 kJ/kg, respectively. The tank is to be installed in a large compartment whose temperature is to be maintained at 240 K. Design a thermal insulation system that will maintain oxygen losses due to boiling below 1 kg/day.

In boiling water at 1 atm pressure outside a stainless-steel tube with a surface temperature of 410F, the heat-transfer coefficient h in the absence of radiation is 32 Btu/h*ft^2*F. If the emissivity of the stainless steel is 0.8, will radiation significantly augment the rate of boiling (e.g., by more than 5 percent)? Assume that the vapor film is transparent to radiation and the boiling liquid is opaque.
Heating Air by Condensing Steam. Air at a pressure of 101.3 kPa and 288.8 K enters inside a tube having an inside diameter of 12.7 mm and a length of 1.52 m with a velocity of 24.4 m/s. Condensing steam on the outside of the tube maintains the inside wall temperature at 372.1 K. Calculate the convection coefficient of the air. (Note : This solution is trial and error. First assume an outlet temperature of the air.)

using a Swenson-Walker crystallizer. The capacity of this crystallizer is 0.6124 Ib/s
of FeSO4 slurry leaves at 300 K. The flow mechanism of the cooling is counter current
through the jacket and its temperature increases from 61 to 70 F. The overall heat
transfer coefficient has been estimated to be 190 Sl units.
