Abstract:

The article presents the results of the study of the thermal regime in the tank with hot oil in winter. The schema of the experimental setup and the results of measurements of oil temperature and the temperature in the gas space inside the tank are demonstrated, and the heat exchange schema of the tank with the environment and the system of differential equations describing the heat transfer from the hot coolant to the environment through the filler structure of the tank are provided. A program for numerical simulation of the tank heat exchange with the environment was created. It is noted that the experimental results are in satisfactory agreement with the results obtained by the means of numerical calculations.
