Q.1 An air compressor receiver consists of cylindrical portion of A mm length and B mm diameter. It has hemispherical ends. If the inner pressure is not to exceed C N/mm² and permissible tensile stress is D N/mm², calculate wall thickness at shell and at end assuming it to be a thin vessel and assuming the joint efficiencies of 0.8 and 0.9 for shell and end respectively. Also determine storage capacity of the vessel.
