Design a thermal insulation system-maintain oxygen


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: 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.
