Chapter 4 Problem 4-79

Question

When the temperature is at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the A-36 steel pipe fits snugly between the two fuel tanks. When fuel flows through the pipe, the temperatures at ends A and B rise to \(130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively. If the temperature drop along the pipe is linear, determine the average normal stress developed in the pipe. Assume the walls of each tank act as a spring, each having a stiffness of k = 900 MN/m.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: When the temperature is at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the A-36 steel pipe fits snugly between the two fuel tanks. When fuel flows through the pipe, the temperatures at ends A and B rise to \(130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively. If the temperature drop along the pipe is linear, determine the average normal stress developed in the pipe. Assume the walls of each tank act as a spring, each having a stiffness of k = 900 MN/m.
From the textbook chapter Axial Load you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
