Liquid helium is stored at its boiling point, 4.2 K4.2\ K, in a spherical capsule that is separated by a vacuum space from a surrounding container that is maintained at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, 77 K77\ K. The capsule has a radius of 0.1 m0.1\ m and it is blackened on the outside.
a) Calculate the amount of helium that boils away in one day.
b) Now imagine the vacuum is replaced by a 20 cm20\ cm glass layer around the spherical capsule. How much helium boils away per day in this new condition?
(kglass=1.05wmK)(k_{glass}=1.05 \frac{w}{m\cdot K})
