Determine the pressure in the tank indicated by a strain

Reference no: EM13545605

A single strain gage forming an angle B = 18 degrees with a horizontal plane is used to determine the gage pressure in a cylindrical steel tank. The cylindrical wall of the tank is 6mm thick, has a 600mm inside diameter, and is made of steel with E = 200 GPa and v = 0.30. Determine the pressure in the tank indicated by a strain gage reading of 280*10^-6 in/in.

Determine the depth of flow immediately upstream of the hump : A rectangular channel of 2 m depth and 5 m width carries 1 m deep running water. It is laid to a slope of 0.001 with Manning’s n = 0.02. Some distance downstream there is a hump of height 0.5 m on the stream bed

The final temperature in the tank in degrees celsius : A rigid tank whose volume is 10L is initially evacuated. A pinhole develops in the wall, and air from the surroundings at 1 bar, 25 degrees Celsius enters until the pressure in the tank becomes 1 bar.

Design the weir structure in order to accommodate the design : To avoid submergence the crest of the weir must be at least 0.05 m above the downstream water depth. Here we can assume that the depth downstream is equal to the normal depth. To simplify calculations we will assume that Cd = 0.7 Water depth over the..
