This article describes the conceptual design and the structural analysis of a vertical cylindrical partitioned tank for an international chemical company. Vertical cylindrical tanks are commonly used in the chemical industry worldwide as vessels to contain liquids. Most of these plants have reduced area for the installation of the container tanks. Many of them need to renew their manufacturing process according to the new technologies and requirements. In addition, in some cases, the preparation of mixtures is carried out on small surfaces. All this factors led to the idea of designing a vertical sectorised tank, considering that alternative hydrostatic pressure cases can lead to eccentric loads on the upper surfaces. Therefore, bending stresses and compression and tension stresses will occur. A Finite Element Method calculation was performed to determine the wall thickness fulfilling the structural requirements for two distinguishing design alternatives. This article describes the particular models designed and the detailed FEM simulation and mechanical calculation carried out to determine the optimized solution of partitioned tanks with a diamond‐shaped inner bracing system that manages to meet all the structural, manufacturing, constructive and environmental needs with a target thickness of 12 mm.

“…Customized, functional surface coatings are currently applied in many commercial products of the consumer, textile, and automotive industry. 1,2 The postsynthetic coating of a material at its outer interface enables the adjustment of physicochemical surface properties, such as wettability, adhesion, or biocompatibility, while retaining the properties of the bulk material. 1,3,4 Due to their synthetic diversity, surface-grafted polymer chains, in particular, attracted an enormous scientific attention over the past decades resulting in a broad range of applications in nano-and biotechnologies.…”

As a result of environmental triggers, like small changes of temperature, pH, or solvent polarity, these materials exhibit a defined and reversible change in their conformation resulting in an adaptation of their physicochemical surface properties.…”

Does Chain Confinement Affect Thermoresponsiveness? A Comparative Study of the LCST and Induced UCST Transition of Tailored Grafting-to Polyelectrolyte Brushes

et al. 2022

Polycationic poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) is a polyelectrolyte, which is appealing for the design of switchable surface coatings for sensors, catalysts, or biomaterials owing to its multiresponsiveness upon the variation of external triggers (temperature, ionic strength, pH value). In this study, a robust, efficient, and catalyst-free grafting-to approach is presented for the first time, which enables the preparation of double thermoresponsive (LCST and UCST-type transition) PDMAEMA brushes with well-controlled molecular weight and grafting density. The combination of grafting in the melt via a Huisgen 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition allows us to achieve a wide range of grafting densities (0.08–0.20 chains/nm2) even for polyelectrolyte chains with a high molecular weight of 40 000 g/mol. The synthetic control of the grafting density enables a study of the divergent impact of steric restrictions on mechanistically different thermoresponsive transitions of a homopolymer brush. Whereas a pronounced LCST transition with a reduction in brush layer thickness of more than 40% is observed via spectroscopic ellipsometry at intermediate grafting densities (0.12–0.20 chains/nm2) in 5 mM NaCl solution, the UCST transition, induced by multivalent [Fe(CN)6]3– ions, reaches a remarkable change in layer thickness of ∼80% already at the lowest investigated grafting density of 0.08 chains/nm2.

“…However, in recent times the application of functional coatings has surged and research and industry have turned to the development of innovative, smart coatings with synergistic properties and functional capabilities. (69). Functional coatings have the ability to be utilised within many different industrial environments due to their potential for enhanced durability, improved chemical/thermal stability and greater environmental sustainability (70)(71)(72).…”

There are many people I would like to make acknowledgements to, for their help and support throughout this engineering doctorate. Firstly, a special thank you to my academic supervisor Dr Eifion Jewell, a wealth of knowledge, you have always been on hand to share information and steer me in the right direction. Without your guidance, this project would have severely struggled to find a path, especially given the turbulent times of a pandemic and a late move to Asia. I am appreciative of all that you have done, Diolch yn fawr! A massive thank you to my industrial supervisor, Dr.Clive Challinor. You have always been approachable and happy to help wherever needed. You really made the link between academia and industry easy. Thank you for all your encouragement and support, despite our differences in opinion on our national rugby teams! Dr. Christian Griffiths (Chrisy), If I am honest, this entire project would not have been possible without your support. You have always been on hand to assist me wherever needed, sharing your knowledge and being instrumental in keeping the wheels turning on this rickety old bus, hey we even managed to enjoy a few beers on the way. Thanks mate and it's great to be able to call you a friend as well as a mentor now. My mucker (Dr.) Matthew Dodd (Doddsy), it's been a pleasure to graft alongside you mate, at many points we thought it might not happen, but our love of a good pint and continuous moan tenacity to get the job done has surely made it easier! Many others have always been on hand to help when needed. There are too many to list but a big thank you to Dr. Natalie Wint for sharing your expertise and always being there.Dr. Peter Greenwood and Professor Trystan Watson for starting my engineering doctorate journey and helping me establish myself in the early days. Uncle Leighton and the boys at PMRC for always providing a great working environment and helping to get the job done. Finally, a massive thank you to all my friends and family, especially Abbie and my parents who have supported and encouraged me from day one. Without you all, the road certainly would have been much rockier. Spot on.
