You are an engineer in a manufacturing plant. For environmental purposes, the plant decided to put a storage tank for the products of combustion. The products are to be reprocessed later. For this matter, the plant manager gave you a task to design a spherical tank made from SS316 ("SS" means stainless steel).

Question
DESIGN PROBLEM: You are an engineer in a manufacturing plant. For environmental purposes, the plant decided to put a storage tank for the products of combustion. The products are to be reprocessed later. For this matter, the plant manager gave you a task to design a spherical tank made from SS316 ("SS" means stainless steel). The plant usually burns 52 kg of butane nitrile (MW = 69 g/mol) using excess air for a certain manufacturing process. The gaseous products are harmful to the environment, thus the need for a storage tank. All of the products of the combustion are to be stored in a single spherical tank. According to the R&D department, the products are to be stored in 15 atm and room temperature. The spherical steel tank will have a uniform thickness all throughout. According to the pro- curement department, for the needed thickness, the cost of the steel is 800.00 Php per square foot. Determine the cost in Php of the steel for the project.
