Because of this weird shit, we need to actually do some experiments in microgravity to figure out how fast heat is actually transferred and figure out what effects are relevant during said process. This turns out to be a bigger problem when you've got a smaller tank, because the ratio of the thermal mass of the tank to the propellant is higher:

That's sort of what ULA wants to do for the CRYOTE mission, but it might also be that we can just spray some fluid in like pic related and cool things down real fast.
