The cylindrical portion of the gas storage tank is fabricated by boting together two half cylindrical...
Prob #4 A cylindrical thank is designed to withstand an internal pressure of3 MPa. The tank has an inner diameter of 4 m and the wall thickness is 40 mm. The tank is fabricated by bolting together (on both sides of the vssel) two half-cylindrical longitudinal thin shell sections as shown. The diameter of the bolts is 25mm and the bolts are made from a material with allowable stress of 250 MPa 18. The hoop stress sustained by the tank...
Problem 1 The gas storage tank has a longitudinal welded seam on its cylindrical section. The tank has an inner diameter of 1.40 m and a wall thickness of 6.0 mm. Determine the magnitude of normal stress on the weld if the internal tank pressure is 1.2 MPa. a) 170 MPa b) 140 MPa c) 96 MPa d) 53 MPa e) 1.7 MPa f) 250 kPa WELDED SEAM
