Detailed Description

Temperatures are in degrees Rankine. Geometry (height, diameter, thickness) is in feet. Thermal conductivities are in BTU/(hr·ft·°F). System efficiency is a fraction (0–1). Set insulation_thickness ≤ 0 to compute heat loss for a bare (uninsulated) tank; insulation_conductivity is then ignored.
