A pipeline with an outside diameter of 420 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm is pressurized to 2.6 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 23 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.

The pressure hull of a space station module has an inside diameter of 4.6 m, a length of 5.2 m, and a wall thickness of 2.7 mm. It is made from an aluminum alloy with a yield strength of 271 MPa. If the hull is successfully pressure tested to 170 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.

A pipeline with an outside diameter of 420 mm and a wall thickness of 9 mm is pressurized to 2.6 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 30 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.
