Abstract
The calculation of the temperature field of an underwater concrete tank sys tem storing crude oil is relatively complex. Based on experimental data and optimization analysis of relative parameters, unsteady heat-transfer is ca lculated by use of heat equilibrium theory. It is found that the predicted value of temperature is in good agreement with experimental data.
