Question 02-2
You are tasked with designing an LPG tank for a passenger vehicle. The tank is required to store 80L of LPG at an internal pressure of 1183kPa.g. All welds will be 100% inspected and corrosion is expected to be 0.9mm over the life of the tank. The allowable stress for the tank material is 150 MPa. Find the optimal proportions that minimise the amount of required metal. Assume the tank has 2:1 semi ellipsoidal heads.
