As shown, a gas storage tank is composed of half cylindrical thin shells (8m long) and hemispherical thin shells (4m inner diameter) connected together by 25mm diameter bolts of 140MPA allowable normal stress. You are asked to design the tank to contain a gas pressure of 3MPA; a. What would be the most economical thickness of the shells if the material used has an allowable stress of 240MPA? b. What would be the required number of longitudinal bolts per meter length at each side of the cylindrical shell?
A spherical tank has been fabricated by bolting together two hemispherical thin shells with a thickness of 30mm. The pressure in the tank is 1.7 MPa. The tank inner diameter is 8m and is sealed with 900 bolts, each with a diameter of 25mm. What is the normal stress developed in the tank wall and in each bolt?
A flanged bolt coupling consist of 9 steel bolts evenly spaced around a bolt circle 300 mm. in diameter and 6 bronze bolts on a concentric bolt circle 200 mm. in diameter. What are the sizes of bolts diameters for steel and bronze, if the torque applied is 6,000 N-m and without exceeding the stress of 60 MPa in the steel and 40 MPa for the bronze? The ratio of the bolt diameter db / ds = 0.50. For steel, use Gs = 83 GPa and for bronze, Gb = 28 Gpa.
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 MPab. the minimum required thickness of the hemispherical shells if the normal stress in the shell should not exceed 125 MPac. the hoop stress in the cylinderd. the minimum require spacing of the bolts in the cylindrical shell if the normal stress in the bolts should not exceed 250 MPa.

1. A cylindrical steel container 8m high and 3m in diameter is reinforced with two hoops a meter from each end. If the contained liquid is gasoline (0.87), determine the: a) normal force acting on the wall of the tank b) with an allowable stress of 0.12 GPa, compute the thickness of the steel required. Dear expert, I have answer to the total hydrostatic force which is F=819.3312. I also have answer to the tension of hoop at the bottom (T=295.869) and the top (T=113.769). But no one has helped me find the normal force and thickness of steel required. Please help me, thank you.

A pipe carrying steam at 3.5 MPa has an outside diameter of 450 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted between the flange at one end of the pipe and a flat plate used to cap the end. How many 40-mm-diameter bolts must be used to hold the cap on if the allowable stress in the bolts is 105 MPa, of which 55 MPa is the initial stress? What circumferential stress is developed in the pipe? Why is it necessary to tighten the bolt initially, and what will happen if the steam pressure should cause the stress in the bolts to be twice the value of the initial stress? * Your answer A cylindrical steel pressure vessel 400 mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 20 mm, is subjected to an internal pressure of 5 MN/m^2.
