Question

Which of the following is not a real-life application of thin-walled pressure vessels?

• A. Scuba diving
• B. Nuclear vessels
• C. Artery vessels
• D. Aerosol cans

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Nuclear vessels

Thin-walled pressure vessels are used in various applications such as storage and transportation of liquids and gases, aerospace and marine vehicles. The wall is assumed to be thin compared to the other dimensions of the vessel. The stresses are assumed to be uniform across the wall. Scuba diving tanks, artery vessels, and aerosol cans are some of the real-life applications of Thin wall pressure vessels (TWPV). Nuclear vessels are not a real-life application of TWPV.
