Question: 1 . ) A cylindrical shell, has an inside diameter of 6 ft and is 2 0 ft long; it is made of 1 2

1.) A cylindrical shell, has an inside diameter of 6 ft and is 20 ft long; it is made of 12-in plate and is subjected to a pressure of 100 psi .(1) Find the stress in pounds per square inch on the metal in the circumferential section of the shell. (2) What is the stress in pounds per square inch in the cylindrical sides due to the transverse pressure?
2.) A drum will be constructed of SA-285 Grade B carbon steel by welding. The internal design pressure is 800 psi , and there are no unreinforced openings in the drum. The drum inside diameter is 48 in . What is the minimum required wall thickness of the drum?
3.) A boiler drum 4 ft in diameter is made of 1-in plate; the tensile strength of the steel is 55,000; the efficiency of the joint is 85 percent. What is the estimated design pressure of the drum?
4.) Find the heating surface of an horizontal return tube (HRT) boiler 78 in in diameter, 20 ft long, containing eighty 4-in tubes (inside diameter) bricked in one-third of the distance from the top. Find the (1) area of the shell, (2) area of the tubes, and (3) area of the heads.
5.) Find the rated horsepower of the HRT boiler in the previous example.
6.) Steam at 450 psia, dry and saturated, is produced by a boiler when supplied with feedwater at 180F. What is the enthalpy of both the steam and feedwater in BtuIb, and what is the amount of heat that must be generated by the boiler in Btu/lb? If the boiler produces 120,000lbh of steam, what is the heat output of the boiler in Btu/h?
