Sorry but you are being a bit rude. I've already stated the hoop stress equation above. Coming at something from a fresh angle can be a bit too broad and makes you unsure what you should be looking at.

The hoop stress is what I mean. Firstly I need to understand the uniform force created by this circumstance I guess. Isn't there some simple calculator online?

Would you mind giving me an online link. I'm a bit confused as to what to do...

Absolutely not something I would experiment with at home :) I've another year of design and research before I have some prototype to test, but that would be done in a controlled environment and with professionals. There will be air in the container, then 2 liters will enter, seal, and then heat...

You could say it is. I'm at home and working. Not a student though. Trying to design something and refresh my engineering skills.

So let's say we have a cylindrical pressure vessel of volume 2.4 x 10^-3 m^3 carrying 2 liters of water heated to 130 degrees Celsius, how would I calculate the circumferential pressure inside the container? radius = 56x10^-3 m height = 0.24 m I know the equation would be stress=pressure x...

Ah OK, I didn't know that was the rule. Confusion comes from being advised to just use the normal hydrostatic equation - density x gravity x height and multiplying it with the area for force. Then I'm looking online and seeing hydrostatic force being calculated differently (seemingly) taking a...

How can it be that nobody is clear on this. I've had other people look at this and they are telling me different. Please someone clarify this.

Why am I not understanding this? I've done an engineering degree and this isn't making sense. Could someone please just take me through to the answer step by step for the new dimensions attached. I'd greatly appreciate the help.

thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated! With regards to C how do I find this out?

...Is there anybody out there?

What do you mean with integrate over the circular area? It's been too long since I did integration. Let's say the area of that 10 mm wall was 3x10^-4 m^2, could you guide me on calculating the approximate force applied aganst it form the water? -I'd really appreciate the help. I'm trying to...

Thanks for the response, sorry therre wasn't enough info. This is 3 dimensional. Needing to now how much force 2 litres of water will put on the highlighted wall of 10mm with a full water body height of 125mm.

Please see the attached image. I understand the area represents the resultant force per unit width. But I'm unsure what equation to come up with for the purple area. I'd appreciate a little patience here, it's been ages since I did this. Thanks

hmm or I could have it where high pressure force in the hot chamber exerts a force on a button which keeps the two chambers separate, as water is let out from the hot chamber as steam (outside the unit) then pressure drops, allowing cold water in for heating. Although I would need to have it so...
