1 An air receiver consisting of cylinder closed by hemispherical ends . It has a

storage capacity of 0.25 m3 & operating internal pressure of 5 Mpa .It is made of
plain carbon steel 10C4 with Sut=340 N/mm2 & fs=4 .Neglecting effect of weld
joints determine the dimensions of receiver.
Take l = 2*Di
2 A cast iron pipe used in hydraulic circuit is subjected to internal pressure of 50
Mpa. The inner & outer diameters of the pipe are 20 mm & 40 mm respectively.
Determine the distribution of principal stresses across the pipe thickness.
3 The reinforcement pad of 6 mm thickness & 330 mm outside diameter is welded around
the nozzle external to the main shell of pressure vessel . Find whether this reinforcement
is adequate & if not what measure you will take ? Comment Design pressure at operating
temperature=2 Mpa. Shell thickness=14 mm Inside diameter of shell=1220 mm
Nozzle inner diameter=200 mm with wall thickness=12 mm
Nozzle extends 15 mm inside the shell
Vessel is class II & does not require any corrosion allowance
Shell has permissible strength 120 Mpa & for nozzle 100 Mpa. Assume weld
efficiency=0.85

4 A tube with 50 mm & 75 mm as inner & outer diameter respectively is reinforced by

shrinking a jacket of outer diameter 100 mm .The compound tube is to withstand internal
pressure of 35 Mpa .The shrinkage allowance is such that the maximum tangential stress
in each tube has same magnitude. Calculate -
i) Shrinkage pressure
ii) The original dimensions of the tube
Take E=207 kN/mm2

5 A pressure vessel consist of a cylindrical shell of inside diameter 1650 mm which is closed
by torispherical heads with crown radius 1300 mm . The operating pressure inside the
vessel is 1.5 Mpa . The yield strength of the material used for shell & head is 255
N/mm2 & the weld efficiency may be assumed to be 0.8 . The corrosion allowance is 2
mm . Determine the thickness of cylindrical shell & torispherical head.

6 A pressure vessel consist of a cylindrical shell with ID 1500 mm & thickness 20 mm

subjected to internal pressure 2.5 Mpa .It is provided with a nozzle of 250 mm ID & 15 mm
thickness .Yield strength for material of shell & nozzle is 200 Mpa .Extension of nozzle
inside the vessel is 15 mm , CA=2 mm & weld efficiency 0.85 .Determine whether the
reinforcing pad is required for opening . If so determine the dimensions of pad made from
plate of 15 mm.
