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 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
