Calculate the safe internal gas pressure for a spherical pressure vessel made of a thin magnesium plate 0.1 in thick if the mean diameter of the sphere is 250 in and the allowable stress in tension is 12500 psi. And make a drawing justifying the computation.
A closed cylindrical drum 600 mm in diameter and 2 m long has a shell thickness of 12 mm. If it carries a fluid under a pressure of 3 N/mm², calculate the longitudinal and hoop stress in the drum wall
Calculate the minimum outside diameter requirement of a spherical vessel in millimeter with an allowable stress limited to 500,000 mmHg and a maximum pressure of 500 in of mercury. The thickness of the material is said to be 3/4 in.
