A cylindrical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 5 ft and a thickness of 3/4 in. The stress capacity of the pressure vessel is 25ksi. If a safety factor of 1.2 is required for the design, determine the maximum internal pressure (in psi) it can sustain.  A-36 steel with the following properties: Modulus of Elasticity, E = 29x10^3 ksi or 200 GPa Shear Modulus/Modulus of Rigidity, G = 11.5x10^3 ksi or 79.3 GPa Poisson's Ratio, nu = 0.260 Temperature Coefficient for thermal expansion, a = 6.6x10^-6/°F or 11.7x10^-6/°C

Question

A cylindrical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 5 ft and a thickness of 3/4 in. The stress capacity of the pressure vessel is 25ksi. If a safety factor of 1.2 is required for the design, determine the maximum internal pressure (in psi) it can sustain. 

A-36 steel with the following properties:

Modulus of Elasticity, E = 29x10^3 ksi or 200 GPa Shear Modulus/Modulus of Rigidity,

G = 11.5x10^3 ksi or 79.3 GPa Poisson's Ratio,

nu = 0.260 Temperature Coefficient for thermal expansion,

a = 6.6x10^-6/°F or 11.7x10^-6/°C
