What is Internal Floating roof tank?

Floating roof tanks are broadly divided into external floating roof tanks (usually called as floating roof tanks:FR Tanks) and internal floating roof types(IFR Tanks). IFR tanks are used for liquids with low flash-points(e.g. ATF, MS. gasolene, ethanol). These tanks are nothing but cone roof tanks with a floating roof inside which travels up and down along with the liquid level. This floating roof traps the vapor from low flash-point fuels. Floating roofs are supported with legs on which they rest. FR tanks do not have a fixed roof (it is open in the top) and has a floating roof only. Medium flash point liquids such as naphtha, kerosene, diesel, crude oil etc. are stored in these tanks. sealions

How are hydrogen tanks used in balloons for lifting and floating purposes?

Hydrogen tanks are used in balloons to provide the gas needed for lifting and floating. The hydrogen gas is lighter than air, so when it is pumped into the balloon, it creates buoyancy that allows the balloon to rise and float in the sky. The tanks are securely attached to the balloon and release the hydrogen gas as needed to maintain the desired altitude.
