After being purged with nitrogen, a low-pressure tank used to store flammable liquids is at a total pressure of 0.03 psig. (a) I
f the purging process is done in the morning when the tank and its contents are at 55°F, what will be the pressure in the tank when it is at 85℉ in the afternoon? (b) If the maximum design gauge pressure of the tank is 8 inches of water, has the design pressure been exceeded? (c) Speculate on the purpose of purging the tank with nitrogen

Answer:
5.6 mm
Explanation:
Given that:
A cylindrical tank is required to contain a:
Gage Pressure P = 560 kPa
Allowable normal stress = 150 MPa = 150000 Kpa.
The inner diameter of the tank = 3 m
In a closed cylinder there exist both the circumferential stress and the longitudinal stress.
Circumferential stress
Making thickness t the subject; we have
t = 0.0056 m
t = 5.6 mm
For longitudinal stress.
t = 0.0028 mm
t = 2.8 mm
From the above circumferential stress and longitudinal stress; the stress with the higher value will be considered ; which is circumferential stress and it's minimum value with the maximum thickness = 5.6 mm
Answer:
a. 6 seconds
b. 180 feet
Explanation:
Images attached to show working.
a. You have the position of the truck so you integrate twice. Use the formula and plug in the time t = 7 sec. Check out uniform acceleration. The time at which the truck's velocity is zero is when it stops.
b. Determine the initial speed. Plug in the time calculated in the previous step. From this we can observe that the truck comes to a stop before the end of the ramp.
