An atmospheric storage tank has a diameter of 20 m and a height of 8m.It is
half-full of liquid with the remainder of the space containing air normally at
atmospheric pressure.
If the connection to atmosphere is accidentally closed off and 10 cubic m of
liquid removed, what happens to the internal pressure of the tank?
What are the possible consequences for the tank?
Answer / carl_ellis
An atmospheric tank is likely to collapse inward from the
vacuum created by a closed or plugged vent when liquid is
removed from the tank because an atmospheric tank is not
designed to withstand pressures that a pressure vessel can
handle.
