Why the gas cylinders,oxygen gas cylinders, deo bottles and etc are made in cylinderical shape?
Answers
Answer:this is because
Explanation: a gas cylinder is more of a vessel used to store gases at high pressure it can be used to transport or use the pressure energy stored for different purposes
the pressure is distributed evenly and there no concentration of force
HERE IS YOUR ANS
Answer:
Explanation:
A gas cylinder is more of a vessel used to store gases at high pressure. It then can be used to transport or use the pressure energy stored for different purposes.
Now your question! Why is it cylinderical? Yes, there is a proper mechanical reason for that!
The forces. Yes, everybody knows this equation! Even if they're not from the science background.
P= F/A
The lesser the area, for the same amount of pressure, the lesser is the force experienced by the walls.
Now I have done a basic comparison between a cylinder and a Cuboid of the same volume.
From the calculations, assuming to be of the same height and volume, a cylinder will have a lesser surface area. Hence, it will experience lesser amount of forces and is mechanically more stable. Due to the lesser value of forces, lesser stresses are developed in the cylinder and it is much stronger.
