A) Determine the maximum allowable pressure, pc,maxpc,max, in the cylindrical pressure vessel.

 

B) Determine the maximum allowable pressure, ps,maxps,max, in the spherical pressure vessel.

 

C) Determine the required thickness of the cylindrical pressure vessel, trtr, if it is subjected to the maximum allowable pressure of the spherical pressure vessel that was calculated in Part B.

Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels
Learning Goal:
To calculate the maximum allowable stresses in pressure
vessels, compute the minimum allowable thickness of
pressure vessels to meet certain constraints, and observe and
compare properties of different pressure vessel shapes.
Engineers are considering two possible vessel shapes for
storing fuel. One shape is cylindrical and the other is spherical.
Each vessel would be constructed out of the same material
such that its hoop stresses and longitudinal stresses would be
no greater than 18.0 ksi. The cylindrical pressure vessel has
an inside diameter of d = 25.0 in and a thickness of
te = 0.500 in. The spherical pressure vessel has an inside
diameter of d₂ = 30.0 in and a thickness of t₁ = 0.250 in.
