    Solar radiation on a horizontal tank

    Hello, I update my calcul if someone is interested. I juste have two questions : My way to estimate my outside surface temperature seems okay ? And I have a big problem to estimate an average convection coefficient for both situation : (h_out in my first calculation (1/h_out = 0.05 m2.K/W) and...

    Solar radiation on a horizontal tank

    Thanks Baluncore. Here is some information : Approximate latitude : 51° (Belgium) and the tank axis is N-S with a diameter of 3m and a length of 10 meters. I want to see the utility of insulating. During summer we have temperature around 30 degrees celsius. I try to use the basic equation : Q...

    Solar radiation on a horizontal tank

    Hello everyone, I'm looking to estimate the variation of degassing on a horizontal tank of VC (vinyl chloride) due to solar radiation. The feed flow is continuous but the outlet is batch flow. So there is a lot of variation of liquid level in the tank (constant pressure). To avoid a lot of...
