Design Vacuum Vessel for Training Stand

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a vacuum vessel for a training stand intended to measure the height of a flight fuel pump. The vessel will simulate a vacuum in a 120-liter fuel tank, with an internal pressure of 23.8 kPa against an external pressure of 101 kPa. Key concerns include selecting economical materials, determining the appropriate weight, and calculating the tank's structural integrity to prevent collapse. Participants are encouraged to provide advice on design considerations and material choices. The thread highlights a need for expert guidance in engineering a safe and effective vacuum tank.

Hello,
This is my first post, so I believe, that you understand and help for me.
So I have a task to design vacuum vessel, precisely, my task names "Training stand to measure the height of the flight fuel pump". Height will be simulated by vacuum in fuel tank, which will create a vacuum pump. Tank capacity will be about 120 liters. Less inside pressure will be about 23,8 kPa, when outside also be 101 kPa. So, could anyone give me advise how to design fuel tank? (economic materials, light heavy, form, calculating...), that the tank didn't collapsed?

Thank you in advance!

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
