Is it possible to calculate the fluid temperature specifically hydrogen peroxide (30%) with only these specs: The tank is light blue exterior painted over 1/4" steel. I have the ambient temperatures and humidity, heat transfer coefficients for the steel, and assuming a full clear sunny day with 5 hours of incident sun exposure can I make a guess at what the hydrogen peroxide temperature can be? Also does anyone know what the induction period of hydrogen peroxide is if the temperature exceeded the self accelerating decomposition temperature? What I want to know is if heat from the sun and ambient temperatures can cause a tank of hydrogen peroxide(30%) to explode. Thanks for anyone who can help.

I've been using H2O2 70% for many years without any trouble , following the guideline above , with a continuous monitoring of the temperature and possibility to introduce a massive quantity of "good quality "water in case of run away reaction .

 

Hope this helps
