This is an extract from my post here:
Post #1966 (Interesting Graphs and Charts).
Quote:
Some years ago International Alloys in Aylesbury sent tanker loads of molten aluminium to their plant in Birmingham, a journey of about 75 miles.
I have a vague recollection that the load would lose 1 deg F for every mile travelled.
I assume that the tank was exceptionally well insulated and that some form of heating was involved, but the consequences of an accident didn't bear thinking about.
