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

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 thick 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.
E=200GPa. Poisson's ratio =13.
Note: For thin cylinder; t120OD for thick cylinder t120OD
OD = Outside Diameter.
