Question 30
MEMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A thin-walled cylinder of radius
and thickness
is open at both ends, and fits snugly between two rigid walls under ambient conditions, as shown in the figure.

The material of the cylinder has Young’s modulus
, Poisson’s ratio
, and coefficient of thermal expansion
. What is the minimum rise in temperature
of the cylinder (assume uniform cylinder temperature with no buckling of the cylinder) required to prevent gas leakage if the cylinder has to store the gas at an internal pressure of
above the atmosphere?Your answerChoose one option.
