Homework Statement
A boiler drum is equipped with hemispherical heads (i.e. the two heads together make a sphere.) The diameter of the drum is 0.8 meters and the drum is 5 meters in length.
Calculate: a.) The area of insulation required to cover the entire drum.
b.) The total volume of the drum.
Homework Equations
Cylinder total surface area = (2)(pi)(r)(h) + (2)(pi)(r2)
Sphere total surface area = (4)(pi)(r2)
Cylinder volume = (pi)(r2)(L)
The Attempt at a Solution
answers
a) i) Cylinder total surface area = (2)(pi)(r2)(h) + (2)(pi)(r2 )
= (2) (3.14) (0.4)(5m) + (2)(3.14) (0.4)2
= 12.56 m2 + 1
= 13.56 m2 insulation required to cover the drum.
ii) Sphere total surface area = (4)(pi)(r2)
= (4) (3.14) (0.4)2
= 2 m2 insulation required to cover the two heads.
iii) Total surface area i+ ii = 13.56 m2 + 2 m2
= 15.56 m2 total insulation required to cover the entire drum.
b) Cylinder volume = (pi)(r2)(L)
= (3.14)(0.42)(5m)
= 2.5 m2 total volume of the drum.
How does my answer look?
