An air compressor is operated at cut-in and cut-out pressures of 3500 kPa and 5200 kPa, respectively. It supplies air to a 1.50 meter inside diameter cylindrical pressure vessel with hemispherical ends, which is made of stainless steel plate AISI No. 430, annealed. Consider a joint efficiency of 75% and neglect stress concentration. (a) Determine the wall thickness of the vessel for a Soderberg factor of safety of 1.85. Consider a polished surface.(b) Solve (a) if the Barlow's formula is used for the pressure vessel under variable stress.
