What I have decided to do is use a CFD module in Autodesk's Inventor software. I'll combine those results with the experimental data I collected. I have seen the software in action and I should be able to model it based on your suggestions. I appreciate the feedback I've gotten, some of my...

By equilibrium I mean that the temperature of the liquid and container walls was the same as the air temp in the chamber. That was of course a simplification of the actual situation. The thermal equilibrium requirement is actual not my idea, it's something imposed by testing parameters. The...

Andrew thank you for the reply. I actually already have collected the temperature data using twenty-two thermocouples in various locations around the container. The data trend shows that the container takes longer than 72 hours to reach thermal equilibrium, which fits my expectations. Without...

I was hoping someone could lend a hand with a question about thermodynamics. It's been years since I've done work on thermodynamics. Let's say I have a plastic 275 gallon liquid container, filled with a mixture of Propylene Glycol and Water (50/50 by volume). The container is placed inside of...
