Two cylindrical vessels are filled with milk. The radius of a vessel is 15 cm and height is 40cm,the radius of another vessel is 20 cm and height is 45 cm.
Pressure Vessel Design and Calculators The following are equations and a calculator to determine the wall thinkness and working pressure of an ellipsoidal head with t/L greater than or equal to 0.002. The require thickness of a dished semiellipsoidal head in which one-half of the 'minor axis' (inside head minus the skirt) is equal to one-fourth of the inside diameter of the head skirt. The following equations apply:
Where:
Do = outside diameter
Ri = inside crown radius
Rki = inside knuckle radius
tn = nominal thickness before forming
tf = thickness after forming
Ca = corrosion allowance
St = skirt length (straight section)
S = maximum allowable stress value
E = joint efficiency for, or the efficiency of, appropriate joint in cylindrical or spherical shells, or the efficiency of ligaments between openings, whichever is less.
For welded vessels, use the efficiency specified in UW-12. For ligaments between openings, use the efficiency calculated by the rules given in UG-53.
P = internal design pressure
nt = tf - Ca = thickness with corrosion allowance removed
Ri/Rfi = Ri/Rki
M = 0.25(3 + sqrt(Ri/Rkii))
Ro = Ri + tn
Tr = Required design thickness
Po = maximum operating pressure
