  2. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    For the thin-walled assumption to be valid, the vessel must have a wall thickness of no more than about one-tenth (often cited as Diameter / t > 20) of its radius. [4] This allows for treating the wall as a surface, and subsequently using the Young–Laplace equation for estimating the hoop stress created by an internal pressure on a thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel:

  3. Propane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

    A 20 lb (9.1 kg) steel propane cylinder.This cylinder is fitted with an overfill prevention device (OPD) valve, as evidenced by the trilobular handwheel. Propane (/ ˈ p r oʊ p eɪ n /) is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C 3 H 8.

  4. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    Paraboloid of revolution. In geometry, a paraboloid is a quadric surface that has exactly one axis of symmetry and no center of symmetry.The term "paraboloid" is derived from parabola, which refers to a conic section that has a similar property of symmetry.

  5. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

  6. Second moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area

    An arbitrary shape. ρ is the distance to the element dA, with projections x and y on the x and y axes.. The second moment of area for an arbitrary shape R with respect to an arbitrary axis ′ (′ axis is not drawn in the adjacent image; is an axis coplanar with x and y axes and is perpendicular to the line segment) is defined as ′ = where

  7. Tun (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tun_(unit)

    With the adoption of the Queen Anne wine gallon of 231 cubic inches in 1706 the tun approximated the volume of a cylinder with both diameter and height of 42 inches. [nb 3] These were adopted as the standard US liquid gallon and tun. When the imperial system was introduced in 1824 the tun was redefined in the UK and colonies as 210 imperial ...

  8. Little–Parks effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little–Parks_effect

    The electrical resistance of such cylinders shows a periodic oscillation with the magnetic flux piercing the cylinder, the period being . h/2e ≈ 2.07 × 10 −15 T⋅m 2. where h is the Planck constant and e is the electron charge.

  9. Drum (container) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_(container)

    A 200-litre drum (known as a 55-gallon drum in the United States and a 44-gallon drum in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world) is a cylindrical container with a nominal capacity of 200 litres (55 US or 44 imp gal). The exact capacity varies by manufacturer, purpose, or other factors.
