Consider a cylindrical vessel of height 25m (tangent to tangent) with two hemispherical heads. The vessel is completely filled up by water. ID of the vessel is 2m and maximum operating pressure 2Mpa. The skirt hieght is 5m. f=100Mpa; The vessel is located in a region where, C(s) = 0.04/T, where, T is in sec. The wind velocity is 150 km/hr.
(a) Check whether the thickness of the shell is approprite satisfying all the criteria of tall vessel.
(b) Find the skirt thickness.
