The method of optimizing the sizes of vessels from the conditions of minimum mass and minimum surface area of the housing has been considered. The dependences of the optimal diameter, height, mass and minimum surface area of the hull on the volume of the vessel are obtained. Optimization of dimensions can lead to significant savings of structural materials and, accordingly, to reduction of the cost of vessels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
