Optimization Design of 5000 m3 Light Oil Low-pressure Vertical Storage Tank
Due to the large volume and low volume of light oil vertical storage tank,it is very important to optimize the structure design for saving material and reducing manufacturing cost.According to 5000 cubic large light low pressure vertical oil storage tank,choosing the right materials,in accordance with the latest standards of SH/T3167-2012 steel welded low pressure storage tank,through the bottom of the tank and the tank wall,tank top and pressure ring design,completed the regular size tank design.And on this basis,selecting the tank diameter,the bottom of the tank wall thickness,vault coefficient and vault wall thickness as design variables,the optimized objective function of the minimum volume of the storage tank material is established under the precondition of certain volume and the requirement of strength,and the constraint conditions are determined.Using the MATLAB software for solving optimization mathematical model,completed the design,got the tank structure.Compared with the conventional design,and optimize the design saved material 5.34%,save 6829 kg,reached the tank material minimum objective.
