I am designing a corrugated iron water tank where multiple sheets need to be joined together. How to determine the shear flow/stress in the tank walls and therefore the size and spacing of bolts required to keep it together..?
Once the hoop stress is determined in the tank walls..where to next?
How to calulate friction losses in pipes which flow in parallel but don't converge again..? please see attatchment for clarification.
A water reservoir is on a hill and a main dispersal pipe splits into several paprallel secondary pipes which have Are the total head losses in all the pipes equal...
