Liquid helium is stored at its boiling-point temperature of4.2
K in a spherical container (r = 0.589 m). Thecontainer is
a perfect blackbody radiator. The container issurrounded by a
spherical shield whose temperature is 58.4 K. Avacuum exists in the
space between the container and shield. Thelatent heat of
vaporization for helium is 2.1 x 104J/kg. What mass of
liquid helium boils away through the ventingvalve in 6.76
hours?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\dot m = 3.33 kg/hr[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data:

[tex]T_{He} = 4.2 K[/tex]

[tex]T_s = 58.4 K[/tex]

Radius of contaner = 0.589 m

emissivity is  = 1

surface area =[tex] 4\pi r^2 = 4\pi *0.589^2 = 4.35 m^2[/tex]

Net Radiation between heilum and shell is given as

[tex]\dot Q = \epsilon \sigma A(T_s^4 _T_{he}^4)[/tex]

          [tex] =1\times 5.67\times 10^{-8} \times 4.35 (58.4^4 -4.2^4)[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q = 2.88 J/s [/tex]

for 6.76 hr = 70,087.68 J/hr

rate of energy removed can be calculated by using the following relation

[tex]\dot Q = \dot m L[/tex]

[tex]70,087.68 = \dot m \times 2.1\times 10^4[/tex]

solving for \dot m we get

[tex]\dot m = 3.33 kg/hr[/tex]
