Hoop Stress Derivation Explained

Cylindrical or spherical vessels are frequently utilized in industries as boilers or tanks for storing pressurized fluids. Because of the pressure inside and outside of the vessel, the vessel material experiences loading from all directions. Hoop Stress Derivation When a vessel is subjected to internal and external pressure, the resulting normal stresses are functions of …

Vapor Pressure of Water Explained

As heat is applied to water (or any other liquid), the water will transition to steam. This vapor will exert pressure, and the point at which the pressure exerted by the water vapor is the same as the ambient pressure is called the boiling point. Therefore, with different ambient environments, the vapor pressure will be …
