Example 9, Slide 31: Normalized conductance and empty tank mass versus number of strut pairs at each of two axial locations, short propellant tank

Fig. 33 from the 2013 GENOPT paper1.
Results from the specific cases called “test2”: Optimized short propellant tank with one set of struts attached at the midlength of the tank. Shown here are the optimized empty tank mass and total conductance into the short propellant tank as functions of the number of strut pairs.
