Thermal inbreathing (eq 9)


VIT = C x Vtk0.7 x Ri
C = factor 6.5 from Table 2
Vtk = tank volume 12734 m3
Ri = reduction factor for insulation
h = inside heat transfer coefficient 4 W/m2/K
lin = wall tickness of insulation 0.1 m
lin = thermal conductivity of insulation 0.05 W/m/K
Ri = 1 /( 1 + (h x lin / lin)) 0.11
Rinp(12)= (% in*Ri)+(1-%in) 0.96
