A stream boiler of an internal diameter of 1.6m is subjected to an internal pressure of 1.5 N/mm2. What is the tension per linear metre of the longitudinal in the boiler shell. Calculate the thickness of the plate if the maximum tensile stress in the plate section is not to exceed 100 N/mm2, taking an efficiency of the longitudinal riveted equal to 75 per cent.
