The current model makes several "Wrong" assumptions, but we have to put in
some numbers.

20'C is the entrance temp of the gas entering the cylinder (we know this is
tooo low).

Fill rates are moderate, but we seem to be underestimating the thermal rise
in the cylinder.

If you have an ability to take internal cylinder temps, that would be of
great interest to us!!
