Abstract: A study was conducted at the NASA Lewis Research Center to obtain a correlating parameter which would relate the r a t e of p r e s s u r e rise to the volume of spherical liquidhydrogen tankage.A nonventing 22-inch (56-cm) diameter spherical tank partially filled with liquid hydrogen was subjected to four uniformly heated self-pressurization t e s t s with various combinations of percent filling and heat-transfer rate.These data were compared with data from a similar study on a 9-inch (23-em) diameter, uniformly heated, spherical tank.change in pressure in each tank for equal values of heat added per unit volume.The two s e t s of data verified the analysis which predicted the same
