Answer to Question #130622 in Mechanical Engineering for Carter

Question

In the analysis of unsteady flow, or transient flow, processes, the system is abandoned in favour of a control volume. Attention is given to a fixed region in space, not to a fixed mass in motion. The control volume, defined by an imaginary closed boundary, is set up to surround the equipment under study. Both mass and energy may cross the boundary.

What is the difference between Upright Cylindrical Vessel and Spherical Vessel?

Answer 1

Pressure vessels are generally used for storing steam at high pressure. There are many types of pressure vessels in which the commonly applicable pressure vessels are following.

1. Spherical Pressure Vessel-It is used to store high pressure steam and it has very strong structure.Spherical vessel has smallest surface area per unit volume in comparison to other spherical vessel.
2. Upright Cylindrical Vessel-It is vertical cylindrical vessel which is installed through concrete cradles or brick.Pattern fluid mixing process commonly used for generating and storing steam.
