In order to increase the flow from the tank, an additional pressure is applied to the water surface by a compressor. Find the fluid force on a arcular end of the tank if the tank is full, assuming that the diameter is 8 feet and the water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. The ends are sealed with rigid end plates held by four 1 / 4 diameter bolts.

A pressure vessel is constructed with an open-ended steel cylinder of diameter 6, length 8, and wall thickness 0.375. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while drag force assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs. Calculate the force (in lb) on one of the ends due to hydrostatic pressure. The tank has a radius of 2 ft and is 6 ft long. The transverse, oscillatory force on the tank walls associated with a sloshing amplitude of one foot would have an amplitude of 2700 pounds and would act 2.7 feet below the mean surface. A cylindrical tank is folly filled with water (Fig. Determine the radial displacement and circumfrential stress in the inner cylinder. Consider a horizontally oriented cylindrical water tank Suppose the tank is halfway full of water. The sloshing oscillations in a 10-foot diameter tank are found to have a longest period of 1.8 seconds and, assuming the kinematic viscosity to be that of water at 20C, a time to damp to onehalf amplitude of 7 minutes for mean amplitudes smaller than about 10 inches. The results are applied to a circular tank, and it is shown thatt the depth may be con sidered infinite when it exceeds the diameter. An increasing or decreasing in time depth is shown to have a destabilizing or stabilizing effect, respectively, but the magnitude of this effect is negligible for practical configurations. Abstract: The free oscillatiions of a slightly viscous liquid in a cylindrical tank of arbitrary cross section with a free surface are analyzed and the decrement of motion caused by laminar boundary-layer friction and time-varying depth calculated.
