36. Conical Tank: The advantages of cylindrical tank having conical bottom are found in nearly
every industry, especially where getting every last drop from the tank is
important. This type of
tank has excellent geometry for draining, especially with high solids content slurries as these
cone tanks provide a better full-drain solution. The conical tank eliminates many of the problems
that flat base tanks have as the base of the tank is sloped towards the centre giving the greatest
possible full- drain system in vertical tank design.
Rajesh has been given the task of designing a conical bottom tank for his client. Height of
conical part is equal to its radius. Length of cylindrical partis the 3 times of its radius. Tank isclosed from top. The cross section of conical tank is given below. If radius of cylindrical part is
taken as 3 meters,
covered from top.
