QUESTION 1. A hydrazine tank, designed by Orbital Propulsion Center, is made of Ti6A14V STA (3.7164.7) titanium alloy is shown in the figure. a. The length of the tank is 890 mm and its volume is 176.5 liters. Calculate the radius of the tank. b. Determine the tank thickness, t such that the tank resists the proof pressure of 36.9 Bar without permanent deformation and the burst pressure of 49.2 Bar without fracture. c. Under the operational conditions (MEOP), determine the absolute maximum shear stress that occurs on the tank.
