Abstract

This paper presents a steady-state analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer in a zero boil-off cryogenic storage tank for liquid hydrogen. The system includes a tank with cylindrical wall and oblate spheroidal top and bottom, and a cold-spray nozzle head whose face is set perpendicular to the axis of the tank. The nozzle head has many nozzles on its front face. The cold fluid cooled by an external cooling system enters the inlet opening at the top of the tank, follows an axial supply tube to the nozzle head and exits through the nozzles into the bulk fluid inside the tank heated by heat leak from the surroundings. The displaced fluid exits the tank through an annular outlet opening (also at the top of the tank and concentric with the inlet opening) then goes back to the external cooling system. This study considers the transport phenomena in the storage tank only with prescribed fluid flow velocity and temperature at the inlet to represent the external cooling system.
