Question: 5 . The air receiver for a small compressor with an internal pressure of 3 . 4 5 MPa has 9 0 0 mm diameter.

5. The air receiver for a small compressor with an internal pressure of 3.45 MPa has 900 mm diameter. Use ASME chart for material code SA-516-70, pressure vessel shell thicknesses (attached in the formula section), design the air receiver and determine:
i. Wall thickness
ii. State whether this is a thin or thiek cylinder.
iii. Hoop stress (use mean diameter if this is a thin cylinder).
iv. Longitudinal strain.
v. State whether the design is safe or not.
\(\mathrm{E}=200\mathrm{GPa}\). Poisson's ratio \(=1/3\).
Note: For thin cylinder, \(\boldsymbol{t}\mathbf{120}\times O D \) for thick cylinder \( t \geq 120\times O D \)
\(\mathrm{OD}=\) Outside Diameter.
6. A simply supported laminated steel spring carries a central load. The spring has a span of 0.85 m supports a load of 7.5 kN . The spring's central deflection should not exceed 50 mm and the bending stress is limited to \(450\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{mm}2\). Thickness of spring plates is available in multiples of 1 mm with a 4 mm width. Determine for the spring, stitable values of width, thickness, and number of plates, also calculate the radius to which the plates should be formed. Assume that width \(=12\times \) thickness \( E=200\mathrm{GPa}\).
