Problem 3. 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:

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 3. 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 MPa
b. the minimum required thickness of the
hemispherical shells if the normal stress in the
shell should not exceed 125 MPa
c. the hoop stress in the cylinder
d. the minimum require spacing of the bolts in
the cylindrical shell if the normal stress in the
bolts should not exceed 250 MPa
