A large spherical tank contains gas at a pressure of 400 psi. The tank is constructed of high-strength steel having a yield stre

ss in tension of 80 ksi. For volume requirements, the inner diameter of the tank is 45-ft. Determine the required thickness (to the nearest ¼ inch) of the wall of the tank if a factor of safety of 3.0 with respect to yielding is required.

Answer:

t=2.025 inches

Explanation:

Given that

P = 400 Psi

Yield stress ,σ = 80 ksi

Diameter ,d= 45 ft

We know that

1 ft = 12 inches

d= 540 inches

Factor of safety ,K= 3

The required thickness given as

\dfrac {Pd}{4t}=\dfrac{\sigma}{K}

t=thickness

\dfrac {PdK}{4\sigma}=t

\dfrac {400\times 540\times 3}{4\times 80\times 1000}=t

t=2.025 inches

Therefore thickness will be 2.025 inches.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) the two-way concrete joist framing system

Explanation:

A waffle slab is also known as ribbed slab, it is a slab which as waffle like appearance with holes beneath. It is adopted in construction projects that has long length, length more than 12m. The waffle slab is rigid, therefore it is used in building that needs minimal vibration.

Explain the prosses of welding
klio [65]

Answer:

Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and thermoplastics but can also be used on wood.

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o
lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA
