Question

A cold liquid is stored in spherical vessel in order to

Answer 1

maintain its temperature for longer time period...

Answer 2

A cold liquid is stored in a spherical vessel because of the following reasons -

• A spherical vessel occupies a minimum surface area per unit volume which minimizes the heat transfer from the liquid.
• Spherical vessels are the best form of the pressure vessel. To keep fluid in the liquid state, fluids are stored under high pressure.
• Spherical vessels have uniform pressure all through their surface while high pressure is exerted over the edges in a cube or cuboid vessel.
• Due to the lower surface area of the vessel, the cost of insulation is also low.
• Spherical vessels have the least surface area-to-volume ratio, Hence less material is used for output.
• Another advantage is that spherical vessels are more resistant to corrosion.
• Spherical vessels are mostly used in the chemical industry, oil refining, shipbuilding, and city gas industry.
