Answer / shubhankar choudhury
cylindrical shapes are ideal
because they have better capacity to
resist internal pressure. They don't
deform under pressure when subjected
to radial forces by the fluid. Moreover,
there is no shear component while in
all other shapes you'll have a shear
force which will tend to deform the
shape.

Answer / balwant dhami
it needs to reciprocate so whatever shape, i has to be long and uniform to make a seal. next you dont want the cross section to have any corners because any misalignment could cause them to seize up and gall. The only shape with no corners and no problems if it mis-aligns is a circle. So...a cylinder
