Abstract

In this paper considered a new method for controlling the thermal stratification of oxygen in a cylindrical rocket tank. The tank is cooled outside with liquid nitrogen, and then the tank begins to fill with oxygen. The walls of the tank are covered inside with a material with certain thermophysical properties and then polished.
