A computer program for the calculation of thermal stratification and self-pressurization in a liquid hydrogen tank

Year: 1972

Type: article

Abstract: An analysis and computer program are described for calculating the thermal stratification and the associated self-pressurization of a closed liquid hydrogen tank. FORTRAN-IV language is used and runs were made on IBM 360/65 and CDC 3600 computers. Comparisons are made between the program calculations and test results from both ground and orbital coast tests of a Centaur space vehicle.
