Design Vacuum Vessel for Training Stand

Click For Summary
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 must withstand an internal pressure of 23.8 kPa while the external pressure remains at 101 kPa, with a total capacity of approximately 120 liters. Key considerations include selecting economical materials, determining the appropriate shape, and calculating structural integrity to prevent collapse. Participants are encouraged to share insights on effective design strategies and material choices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vacuum pressure concepts
  • Knowledge of material properties and selection
  • Familiarity with structural engineering principles
  • Experience in designing pressure vessels
NEXT STEPS
  • Research material options for vacuum vessels, focusing on cost-effectiveness and weight
  • Explore design software for simulating pressure vessel integrity
  • Learn about ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for compliance standards
  • Investigate vacuum pump specifications and their impact on vessel design
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, designers, and students involved in mechanical design, particularly those focused on pressure vessel construction and vacuum systems.

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!
