Discussion
The objective of this study is to have a thick walled pressure vessel design with a
minimum mass which can be achieved by minimizing the volume of the vessel.
Material used to design this pressure vessel is A286 steel alloy which has high yield
strength, 275 MPa and a density of 7920 kg/m3.
By considering the design requirements, the right optimizing formulation is prepared.
The objective function of the optimizing formulation is to get the minimum volume of the vessel
which consists of three (3) design variables which are; outer radius (x1), thickness (x2) and length
of the cylindrical vessel body (x3).
Based on the calculation by using MATLAB, the optimum mass for the vessel obtained is
52082 kg. The value of outer radius, thickness and cylindrical length of vessel body obtained are
1 m, 0.2720 m, and 6.7101 m. The values of the design variables are acceptable since they satisfy
the constraint functions values which are less than 0.

CONCLUSION
Based on the result obtained, the objectives of the study have been achieved. The design
objective and constraints of the pressure vessel design have been successfully translated into
optimization formulas to obtain a thick walled pressure vessel design of minimum mass. The
optimization step is then performed by using MATLAB which utilize all the optimization
formulas where the objective function and constraint functions are clearly defined. The minimum
mass of the thick walled pressure vessel obtained is 52082 kg.
