Problem : Pressure vessel made of alloy steel with Yield Strength of 250 MPa, Pressure acting on Pressure Vessel = 10 Atmosphere. Longitudinal Stress (σL) = 200 MPa. Hooke's Law (E) = 150 MPa. Radial Stress (σR) = -50. Question : a) How thick is the pressure vessel if the Inner Diameter is D = 2 Meters? b) Check whether the pressure vessel is safe or not? Given data: - The yield strength of the pressure vessel is σy = 250 MPa. The inner diameter of the vessel is d = 2 m. The pressure acting in the vessel is P = 10 Atm. The longitudinal stress is σL = 200 MPa. Hooke's Law (E) = 150 MPa The radial stress is σR = -50 MPa.

Problem :
Pressure vessel made of alloy steel with Yield Strength of 250 MPa, Pressure acting on Pressure Vessel = 10 Atmosphere. Longitudinal Stress (σL) = 200 MPa. Hooke's Law (E) = 150 MPa. Radial Stress (σR) = -50.

Question :
a) How thick is the pressure vessel if the Inner Diameter is D = 2 Meters?
b) Check whether the pressure vessel is safe or not?

Given data: -
The yield strength of the pressure vessel is σy = 250 MPa.
The inner diameter of the vessel is d = 2 m.
The pressure acting in the vessel is P = 10 Atm.
The longitudinal stress is σL = 200 MPa.
Hooke's Law (E) = 150 MPa
The radial stress is σR = -50 MPa.
