A cylindrical tank is required to contain a gage pressure 520 kPa . The tank is to be made of A516 grade 60 steel with a maximum

allowable normal stress of 150 MPa . If the inner diameter of the tank is 2.6 m , what is the minimum thickness, t, of the wall? Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures.

Answer:

t= 4.5 mm

Explanation:

Given that

P = 520 KPa ( gauge)

Maximum allowable normal stress ,σ= 150

d= 2.6 m

Wall thickness = t

The normal stress for pressure vessel given as

\sigma=\dfrac{Pd}{2t}               ( hoop stress)

We always take maximum stress for safe design.

\sigma=\dfrac{Pd}{2t}

Now by putting the values

150\times 1000=\dfrac{520\times 2.6}{2t}

t= 4.5 mm

So the minimum thickness, t, of the wall is 4.5 mm

love history [14]

Answer:

a) V(t) = Ldi(t)/dt

b) If current is constant, V = 0

Explanation:

a) The voltage, V(t), across an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of the current flowing across it with time.

If  V represents the Voltage across the inductor

and i(t) represents the current across the inductor in time, t.

V(t) ∝ di(t)/dt

Introducing a proportionality constant,L, which is the inductance of the inductor

The general equation describing the voltage across the inductor of inductance, L, as a function of time when a current flows through it is shown below.

V(t) = Ldi(t)/dt ..................................................(1)

b) If the current flowing through the inductor is constant i.e. does not vary with time

di(t)/dt = 0   and hence the general equation (1) above becomes

V(t) = 0

belka [17]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Lets first consider the term Isentropic efficiency. The isentropic efficiency of a compressor or pump is defined as the ratio of the work input to an isentropic process, to the work input to the actual process between the same inlet and exit pressures. IN practice, compressors are intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.
