Can someone explain the process for calculating the size of a top edge stiffener on an open top rectangular tank subject to hydrostatic pressure.
Thanks
I need to calculate the thickness of a circular flat plate. This is a false bottom in a pressure filter. The plate is welded inside the vessel all along the circumference. The plate also has a 10" pipe welded to its underside for center support. I have a 5th ed. of Roark's, and I think the...
I need to design a Rectangular tank that is holding water (sg=1). The tank dimensions are 28ft. long x 14ft. wide x 12ft high. When I analyze the tank wall without any stiffeners, I use a=144 and b=336 the a/b ratio =0.429. Using Roark Case 2d, the a/b ratio starts at 0.5, so my a/b ratio falls...
I'm a mechanical designer for a company that manufactures skid mounted water treatment equipment. The equipment (pressure filters)is bolted to a structrual steel skid and the skid assembly is anchored to a concrete foundation. One of our clients is asking for the calulations for the sizing of...
Can anyone point me to a textbook or website were I can find detailed calculations on wind and earthquake calculations for tall towers supported by a base ring. Thank you.
I need to design a float that is attached to an arm that will open or close a butterfly valve that controls the level in a retention tank. It is identical the way the float works in a typical toilet. As the level decreases, the float moves down and opens the valve allowing more water in. As the...
