A cylindrical pressure vessel of 120 in outside diameter


A cylindrical pressure vessel of 120 in outside diameter, used for processing rubber, is 36 ft long. If the cylindrical portion of the vessel is made from 1 in thick steel (E = 29 × 106 psi, ν = 0.25) plate and the vessel operates at 120 psi internal pressure, determine the total elongation of the circumference and the increase in the length caused by the operating pressure.
