Background:
We have liquid ammonia filling cylinder filling station facility. Recently, an accident took place while filling the cylinder (cylinder is filled at a pressure of 14 bar.g). During the accident, cylinder nozzle got disengaged as a result of which cylinder hit the nearby wall. Luckily no major damage was observed..
Question:
We plan to build a wall around the cylinder filling facility so that in case such an incident reoccurs, the wall can handle the thrust force of the flying cylinder. I want to calculate the maximum force that the cylinder will exert on the wall (at the point of impact).
Mass of Empty Cylinder = 75 kg
Mass of liquid ammonia = 30 kg
Total mass of filled cylinder = 105 kg
Filling Pressure = 14 bar.g
Nozzle diameter = 2 inch
Distance of wall from the point of filling = 5 m
Diameter of Cylinder = 15 cm
