8.7 The scuba tank has a cylindrical body and a spherical end-cap, each of 7.5 in. outer diameter. The wall thickness of the tank is 0.5 in. The tank is made of an alu- minum alloy which has an ultimate tensile strength of 56 ksi. Determine the factor of safety against bursting when the tank is pressurized to 3000 psi.

The gas storage tank is fabricated in the following manner: a 10-mm thick plate is rolled to form a cylindrical shell which is bolted on one side, then its ends are sealed by bolting two hemispherical shells. The resulting inner diameter of the tank is 4 m. All bolts have a diameter of 15 mm. If the internal pressure in the tank is 1 MPa, determine the following:a. the number of bolts needed in each hemispherical shell if the normal stress in the bolts should not exceed 250 MPab. the minimum required thickness of the hemispherical shells if the normal stress in the shell should not exceed 125 MPac. the hoop stress in the cylinderd. the minimum require spacing of the bolts in the cylindrical shell if the normal stress in the bolts should not exceed 250 MPa.
