What is Hoop stress (Circumferential stress) and longitudinal stress in pressure vessels?

Image
  It all starts from fabrication of pressure vessel. Let me explain you. Consider a cylindrical pressure vessel which has been fabricated as per the your requirement. (see below figure) When you fabricate any vessel, you need some plates, pipes, etc. Not everything is ready made.  Post this, you need to weld plates and pipes na!  There are many layers of sheets of stainless steel or metal. When this vessel is subjected to internal pressure, stress observed at different places/ points. Let us cut down this cylinder perpendicular to its axis. See following image. “Circumferential (hoop) stress is due to longitudinal weld and Longitudinal stress is due to circumferential weld.” If we need to calculate this stresses applied to cylinder, we need equation for this. Let us see how we can create equation. Hoop stress:  This stress is due to longitudinal weld. It proportional on internal pressure and internal diameter of vessel. When both increases, stress increases. It inver...

What is red diesel and what is it used in?

What is Red diesel? Red diesel is a fuel that is used in off-road vehicles and machinery. It is used in many industries, most prominently construction and farming. Red diesel is the same as regular diesel, but with a red dye added to it to prevent it being used on road-going vehicles. In India, it often called red diesel oil. It costs merely 30 to 40 rupees per litre in india. Image: Why Red diesel is cheaper? Rebated fuel (red diesel) is cheaper than white diesel (road fuel) because of a lower fuel tax duty required to pay on it. The correct use of red fuel is for powering agricultural vehicles and machinery, fishing vessels, construction, and forestry machinery. Which vehicles can use red diesel? All diesel-powered vehicles can run on red diesel. However, should you use red diesel in a road vehicle, it is considered tax evasion and therefore breaking the law. Can red diesel damage my car? No not at all, red diesel is exactly the same as white, except for the red dye that is added. Al...
