AMMONIA STORAGE HEAT ABSORBTION

[roker]

Hello all,

What heat transfer coefficient should be used for calculation of heat absorbed through the surface of an ammonia storage tank at about -35 C (the ambient temp is around 30 C).

Best regards,
roker

Ione posted a great link for calculation of heat transfer coefficient and total heat transfer for different geometries in the forum...

All you need is the specific heat and thermal conductivity at your conditions and you should be OK.
