Hello everyone,
I'm basically having problems figuring out the 'Y+' coefficient for a non-uniform pressure inside a vessel.The vessel itself is 14 meteres tall with hemispherical ends (2m radius). It is filled with liquid carbon dioxide (density = 1015 kg/m^3) to 11 meteres, the space above is pressurised at 21 bar. How do I determine the 'Y+' coefficient?
Thank you.
what type of non uniform distribution do you want?
maybe a hint, it is probably too difficult to try and do the whole thing with one function. you may need one for the bottom hemi, middle and top hemi where the interfaces will be the start of the next function.
probably best to do this in excel and then pull the coefficients off the equation for input in to solidworks.
Oops sorry for not being clear enough. I must apply the non-uniform pressure load under the fill line (11m), the pressure variation of y is linear.
where are you stuck? have you calculated what the max and min values are? if you plot those vs height you basically have your equation.
Thank you very much for your help, I found the coeffcient.
what method did you use in case someone finds this in the future?
