Question:
Many industrial storage tanks are spherical and painted white to reflect the sun's rays. If such a storage tank had a defect in the paint and began to heat up it could explode if the temperature elevated and there were no release valve.
1. Derive an equation for the work that could be produced for such a situation for a tank of diameter D. The initial pressure is raised to Pi by heating from the Sun. You may assume a monotomic ideal gas.
1. Comment on the fragility in the structure that could be imposed due to altered coefficients in thermal expansion from the unpainted region.
