Question

A liquid of volumetric thermal expansion coefficient = γ and bulk modulus B is filled in a spherical tank of negligible heat expansion coefficient. Its radius is R and wall thickness is ‘t’ (t <R). When the temperature of the liquid is raised by θ, the tensile stress developed in the walls of th tank is :

2BγθR/t

BγθR/4t

BγθR/2t

BγθR/t

ΔV = VθY  ,   ΔVV = Yθ 
Stress = (ΔVV)B
ΔP = YθB
FπR2 = YqB
F = YθB (πR2)


tensile stress = F2πRt = YθB2πRt        
Tensile stress = (YθBR2t)
